Description
BSI C5 is a security and compliance framework developed by Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). It outlines minimum baseline security requirements for cloud service providers, covering areas such as data protection, access control, incident response, logging, and transparency. The framework is designed to support secure cloud operations and provide assurance to customers through audit-based reporting.
Overview
BSI C5 helps organizations assess and demonstrate the security posture of cloud environments by requiring documented controls, clear responsibilities, and evidence-based compliance. It is widely adopted in Germany and the EU as a trusted benchmark for secure cloud service delivery, often used alongside standards like ISO 27001 or SOC 2. By focusing on transparency and audit readiness, C5 enables providers to meet growing regulatory and customer expectations for cloud assurance.
