OVHcloud, the European leader in cloud services, has announced the achievement of SecNumCloud 3.2 certification from the French Cyber Security Agency (ANSSI) for its Bare Metal Pod platform. This accolade confirms the company’s commitment to providing solutions with the highest level of security to meet the needs of both the public and private sectors.
The Bare Metal Pod platform is designed to give users complete control over the creation and management of their own cloud environment. It integrates key security mechanisms such as data encryption, key management, network isolation and access control. This gives users a high level of control and a full audit trail of all activities.
SecNumCloud certification: the gold standard in security
SecNumCloud certification, awarded by ANSSI, is recognised as the highest security standard in France. The certification process covers more than 360 technical, organisational and legal requirements, ensuring that certified services are suitable for storing sensitive data such as state information or intellectual property.
New OVHcloud certification – impact on the market and future developments
OVHcloud’s SecNumCloud certification could have a significant impact on the cloud services market in Europe. With growing concerns over data sovereignty and regulatory compliance, such certified solutions are becoming crucial for organisations looking for trusted cloud service providers.
Furthermore, OVHcloud plans to apply for certification of its public cloud services in May 2025, with the intention of offering certified services by the end of this year. This demonstrates the company’s drive to expand its portfolio of services in line with the highest security standards.
SecNumCloud’s certification for the Bare Metal Pod platform reinforces OVHcloud ‘s position as a key player in the European cloud market, able to deliver solutions that meet the highest security standards.
