The C5 Catalog (Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalog) is published by the Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). It establishes binding requirements for information security, transparency, and compliance for cloud services offered or used in Germany. The C5 Catalog contains guidelines on information security management in accordance with ISO 27001, data protection, encryption, access control, traceability of data processing, transparency regarding storage locations and sub-service providers, as well as emergency management and operational stability.

For Arvato Systems’ customers, C5 certification provides objective and verifiable proof of the high level of security and transparency offered by the cloud services. The controls, which are audited by an independent auditor, build trust in compliance with recognized security standards and reduce the risk of regulatory or data protection-related non-compliance. By adhering to the BSI standard, Arvato Systems’ customers gain a reliable basis for comparing cloud providers in terms of security and compliance and for making informed decisions about the use of individual services.
