Let's say I have a tiny box somewhere that's only job is to periodically do something like this:

ssh local-server "rsync /data foreignserver:/backup"

How could this be discovered? How come this kind of solutions are now in the legal territory?

I know right.

It won't be discovered, but it's about doing what's right. For some reason if something goes wrong and there's an audit, the company is screwed.

So the solution is to not incorporate in hostile jurisdictions. The problem is that the circle of human-friendly jurisdictions is shrinking.
