Definition
An ANSSI qualification standard guaranteeing that a cloud service offers the highest level of security and protection against extraterritorial laws.
SecNumCloud is the security seal issued by ANSSI (the French National Cybersecurity Agency) to cloud providers. Since its 3.2 version, it includes criteria of immunity to extraterritorial laws: a qualified operator cannot be compelled by foreign law (such as the Cloud Act) to hand over its customers' data.
For a company, choosing SecNumCloud hosting, or deploying on-premise, is the surest way to guarantee that its AI data stays under European jurisdiction. It is a growing requirement in public tenders and regulated sectors.
A local authority has to host sensitive data about its residents. It chooses a SecNumCloud-qualified cloud offer, which guarantees a security level verified by ANSSI and protection against foreign laws.
For the most sensitive data: public sector, healthcare, defence, essential operators, or when a client requires it in a tender.
Does an SME need SecNumCloud?
Rarely as an obligation. For most SMEs, a reliable French host or an installation on their own premises is enough. The qualification becomes useful when your clients or your sector require it.
