Compliance workloads require more than a standard cloud

Government agencies, critical infrastructure providers, and companies with high security requirements cannot simply migrate their workloads to just any cloud environment. They need an infrastructure that meets regulatory requirements, ensures data sovereignty, and is operated by a partner that views IT security not as an add-on - but as a core competency.

The secunet public cloud offers exactly that: a sovereign, OpenStack-based public cloud platform, certified according to the relevant German and European standards, operated in Germany - and embedded in the secunet Premium Cloud Portfolio, which ranges from compliance-critical public cloud workloads to classified cloud environments.
 

Cloud operations in Germany based on open technologies for maximum control over data and infrastructure.

Multi-layered protection mechanisms for sensitive and business-critical workloads at every stage of operation.

Designed to meet regulatory requirements with certifications such as IT-Grundschutz, ISO 27001, and C5.

OpenStack and Kubernetes provide transparency and independence from proprietary platforms.

Flexible infrastructure and managed Kubernetes for applications with growing requirements.
