Our Competencies
Choose the area that fits your requirements
Cloud data residency has become a critical compliance challenge since Schrems II and the EU-US Data Privacy Framework for organizations in regulated industries. Server location in the EU alone is insufficient — the US CLOUD Act enables American authorities to access data held by US providers regardless of where it is stored. Effective data residency strategies therefore require a comprehensive governance framework: Transfer Impact Assessments, customer-managed encryption, EU geo-location controls, and continuous compliance monitoring. We develop tailored cloud data residency solutions that balance GDPR requirements, data sovereignty, and operational flexibility.
Cloud environments demand well-designed encryption concepts covering data at rest, in transit and in use. From AES-256 and BYOK to HSM integration — regulatory requirements from GDPR, BSI C5 and industry-specific mandates determine which encryption standards your organisation must implement. We support you in analysing your encryption requirements, selecting suitable key management solutions and implementing GDPR-compliant encryption architectures for multi-cloud environments.
Cloud migration compliance is a critical challenge for regulated organizations moving their IT infrastructure to the cloud. BaFin requirements for cloud outsourcing, GDPR-compliant data migration, and DORA mandates for digital operational resilience demand well-designed governance frameworks. We develop tailored cloud migration compliance solutions that meet regulatory requirements, secure exit strategies, and ensure your cloud transformation is sustainable and supervisory-compliant.
Financial institutions face the challenge of using cloud services in compliance with BaFin regulations while meeting the requirements of DORA, MaRisk, and EBA guidelines. Outsourcing to cloud providers requires structured risk analyses, materiality assessments, and robust contract design — from audit rights and data protection to exit strategies. We support banks, insurers, and financial service providers throughout their entire cloud compliance journey: from strategic assessment through BaFin-compliant implementation to ongoing monitoring of your cloud providers.
Hybrid cloud environments present organizations with a core challenge: How do you ensure consistent compliance across on-premises systems, public cloud services and edge infrastructure? Differing security standards, fragmented policies and unclear responsibilities create compliance gaps — especially for GDPR, BSI C5 and NIS2. We develop unified hybrid cloud governance frameworks that integrate workload classification, data residency requirements and automated policy enforcement across all your cloud platforms.
Manage AWS, Azure and GCP with a unified governance strategy. Our experts develop tailored multi-cloud frameworks that meet DORA, NIS2 and BSI C5 compliance requirements, minimize security risks and ensure operational efficiency across all cloud platforms.
Securing modern cloud environments requires structured security frameworks such as BSI C5, ISO 27017, and CSA STAR that go beyond traditional perimeter-based security. Successful implementation demands comprehensive frameworks covering multi-cloud governance, container security, Zero Trust architecture, and DevSecOps integration. We support you in selecting, implementing, and auditing the right cloud security frameworks — from gap analysis through control implementation to certification preparation for BSI C5, SOC 2, and ISO 27017.
