Did You Know that the EU Cloud CoC and Cloud Security Alliance Have a Collaboration to Advance Cloud Compliance?

SCOPE EuropeEU Cloud CoCNews

Our ongoing collaboration with the Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) has been forged to enhance the dissemination of trusted cloud services through our joint commitment to best practices in compliance.

While the EU Cloud CoC is a pioneer GDPR compliance tool endorsed by European data protection authorities, CSA is a global leader in the development of various IT and cybersecurity certifications.

Special Framework for CSA STAR and Corporate Members

As part of this collaboration, we have established a special framework for CSA STAR and Corporate Members to adhere to the EU Cloud CoC. This framework streamlines the process for these members, allowing them to submit their declaration of adherence through the EU Cloud CoC platform, providing them with a clear and efficient pathway to demonstrate their compliance with GDPR requirements. This collaboration offers a comprehensive foundation for compliance in the cloud, which largely supports both users and providers in properly performing their due diligences.

The EU Cloud CoC Compliance Mark in the STAR Registry

A key feature of our collaboration is the inclusion of the EU Cloud CoC in the CSA STAR Registry. This means that all services adherent to the EU Cloud CoC have their Compliance Mark displayed in the CSA STAR Registry, which enables cloud users to have a robust overview of offerings while assessing their respective compliance attestations for cybersecurity and data protection. This integration not only showcases the commitment to high standards of data protection but also enhances trust and confidence among customers and stakeholders.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to strengthen our collaboration with the CSA, we remain focused on addressing emerging challenges and supporting our respective communities in their day-to-day compliance efforts. By leveraging our collective expertise, we aim to drive the widespread adoption of robust cloud standards and, by that, contribute to the necessary trust-building to drive the uptake of cloud technologies.

Stay tuned for more updates on our joint initiatives and the continued impact of our collaboration on the global cloud community.
