Setting a Region for an Organization
During the organization creation process, you set a preferred region for an organization. Security Cloud Control uses this region preference to align the deployment region for all products from the claimed subscription, and for any future product subscriptions claimed within the organization. If a product isn't available in the preferred region, the product is assigned a region that it supports and is aligned with the preferred region. If the product does not support a deployment region that aligns with the preferred continent or country, the product is assigned a default region that it supports.
Security Cloud Control automates the process of assigning a product deployment region to ensure that all products in an organization have regional alignment for better interoperability. Congruent regional alignment helps all products of the organization to operate under the same regional framework which enhances product integration.
Assigning a region to a product
A product is limited by the regions where it can be deployed. Not all products can be deployed in every region. Security Cloud Control makes best effort to align the product deployment region with the preferred region of the organization. It does so by following an algorithm that looks at the tier and hierarchy of the regions and assigns the best possible region. For details on the region assignment, see the respective product Privacy Data Sheet that is available on the Cisco Trust Portal. For example, see the Cisco Duo Privacy Data Sheet.
An exception is a standalone Cisco XDR subscription, where the deployment region is determined by your purchase selection. Ensure that your XDR subscription is claimed in, or has an organization region that is aligned with the purchase region. All XDR standalone subscriptions default to the purchase region regardless of the organization region preference. For queries on the Cisco XDR ordering specifics and region selection, see the Cisco XDR Ordering Guide.
Existing deployment where a region is not set
If your organization did not have a preferred region set previously, you are prompted to select a region when you sign in to Security Cloud Control. After you select a region, it does not change the deployment regions of any existing product within the organization. The region that you select for this existing organization is applicable to all future products that are added to the organization.
We recommend that you select a region for the organization such that it best aligns with the existing product deployment regions. If you have queries about which region to select for this organization, contact Cisco Support.
After you set a region preference for an organization, you can't change it. To adjust the preferred region for the organization, contact Cisco Technical Assistance.

Changing the region preference after it is set could impact existing product deployments and data retention. |
Alternatively, create a new organization for additional subscription with a different region preference.
