Governance & risk
Security embedded directly into service delivery with clearly defined responsibilities and control ownership.
ABBYY & BSI C5
Building trusted cloud services aligned with BSI C5 expectations
ABBYY is advancing its commitment to secure, transparent and resilient cloud services. Learn more about our BSI C5 initiatives.
Why BSI C5 matters
As cloud adoption accelerates, organizations must ensure their providers can support regulated, business-critical workloads with confidence.
The BSI C5 framework defines a rigorous benchmark requiring:
- Transparent and auditable security controls
- Independent verification under standards such as ISAE 3000
- Clear accountability between provider and customer
- Support for European regulatory expectations
For security leaders, this moves trust from documentation to demonstrable evidence.
ABBYY’s commitment
ABBYY has initiated a formal program to undergo an independent assessment aligned with BSI C5 expectations.
Our cloud operating model is already designed to support:
- Structured governance and risk management
- Auditable and consistent control environments
- Transparency into data processing and operations
- Resilience for business-critical workflows
This initiative reflects a continued investment in independent validation and operational maturity.
What we’re building toward
Our planned C5-aligned assessment will evaluate controls across key domains:
Transparency & trust
Visibility into data locations, jurisdictions, incident handling, and audit evidence.
Resilience & availability
Operational processes designed for continuity, including monitoring, recovery, and business continuity testing.
Identity & data protection
Strong controls over access, encryption, and cryptographic key management.
Secure development & supply chain
Security is integrated across the software lifecycle and third-party ecosystem.
Data sovereignty & lawful access
Structured processes governing government requests and data disclosure.
These areas reflect the core expectations of C5 and ABBYY’s approach to engineering trust into cloud operations.
