Cloud architectures, container technologies, and new deployment tools are permanently changing the IT landscape. With a well-developed cloud strategy, companies can implement their IT operations more efficiently, gaining more value by adopting the latest innovations.
Enterprises in the German-regulated market are accelerating their use of public clouds to take advantage of modern architectures. They often need assistance when migrating data to remain compliant with German regulations on data privacy and data transfers outside of the EU.
This new offering builds in compliance, while easing the migration process and facilitating operations thereafter. All data processing and data storage is carried out in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including system maintenance and support exclusively within the EU. To deliver on customer expectations for security and climate neutrality, and reduce the risk of non-compliance with national regulations, all services meet the highest industry standards (ISO27001, ISO14001, Greenhouse Gas Protocol:2004, GDPR and BSI C5:2020).
Once the BSI C5:2020 attestation is achieved, planned by March of 2023, this SaaS offering will be suitable for both federal authorities and customers alike that are subject to local regulations.
