BERLIN, Nov. 9, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Appian (Nasdaq:
APPN) recently achieved certification according to the C5 Criteria
Catalogue following an independent audit. The Cloud Computing
Compliance Criteria Catalogue, or C5 for short, published by the
German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), is a
catalogue of security requirements for cloud services and supports
customers in gaining transparency regarding the division of
security-critical tasks between cloud providers and customers.
According to Bitkom, 89% of German companies already use the
cloud and about half of them (56%) will be using the cloud in five
years' time, making the C5 requirements catalogue of great
importance. Meeting the C5 criteria underscores Appian's superior
security performance and robust privacy practices across its
cloud-based platform.
The BSI's C5 framework consists primarily of a list of security
controls developed by the federal agency. The catalogue of
requirements was intended to bundle the multitude of previous
rulebooks. It was first published in 2016 and revised in 2019.
Particularly in the regulatory environment, the C5 catalogue of
requirements has a high status due to the strict specifications and
sensitivity of data in this area. Since then, it has established
itself as the de facto standard for cloud security in Germany and enjoys a high level of acceptance
in both the business and public sectors.
"The successful C5 test certificate is another milestone in our
ongoing commitment to ensure the highest security standards for our
customers," comments Fabian Czicholl, Regional Vice President DACH
at Appian Germany. "This certification underlines our commitment to
data protection and the security of our platform, which is used by
companies and public organisations worldwide to automate and
optimise critical business processes."

compliance the platform offers provides customers with additional
