Compliance Package for Germany Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalogue

This section describes the background, applicable scenarios, and the compliance package to meet requirements by Germany Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalogue (C5).

Background

C5 is a guide on how to adopt cloud computing. It provides best practices on data protection, data sovereignty, transparency, responsibility, and cloud service provider selection. For more information about this guide, see C5_2020.

Applicable Scenarios

This compliance package is intended to help enterprises to develop cloud computing in Germany and meet C5 requirements related laws and regulations. This package needs to be reviewed and implemented based on specific conditions.

Exemption Clauses

This package provides you with general guide to help you quickly create scenario-based conformance packages. The conformance package and rules included only apply to cloud service and do not represent any legal advice. This conformance package does not ensure compliance with specific laws, regulations, or industry standards. You are responsible for the compliance and legality of your business and technical operations and assume all related responsibilities.
