Cloud Vendor Assessment: Structured Evaluation of Cloud Providers Against BSI C5, BaFin, and ISO 27001

A thorough cloud vendor assessment involves the systematic evaluation of cloud service providers regarding security, compliance, and performance. Central to this are the BSI C5 criteria catalogue with its 121 audit criteria, the BaFin guidance on cloud outsourcing, and international standards such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2. Our assessment methodology considers industry-specific requirements — particularly for financial services, insurance, and regulated enterprises.

We develop and implement comprehensive cloud vendor assessment strategies that meet modern compliance requirements while creating GDPR conformity, security standards, and AI-supported automation for adaptive vendor governance architectures — from assessment conception through to continuous vendor optimization.
