Data Privacy Radar: How the German C5 affects us all
Blog post from Box
In February 2016, the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) introduced the Cloud Computing Compliance Controls Catalog (C5) certification to address the growing cloud computing sector in Germany, setting a new benchmark for cloud providers handling German data by integrating existing security standards like ISO 27001 and demanding increased transparency. By May 2016, the C5 became the mandatory baseline for German government agencies adopting public cloud solutions, which is expected to influence the private sector as well. The C5's alignment with the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) means that obtaining the certification can satisfy both sets of stringent data protection requirements. Box, notable for being the second company to achieve the C5 certification, emphasizes its proactive engagement with Data Protection Authorities globally and highlights its robust compliance solutions designed to simplify data protection challenges for clients, ensuring GDPR readiness and enhanced data security.
