Germany: Guidance on outsourcing to cloud service providers

BaFin and the Deutsche Bundesbank’s joint assessment of outsourcing to cloud service providers, the guidance applies to regulated entities including financial services institutions, credit institutions, insurance undertakings, payment institutions, and e-money institutions.

 

Its purpose is to foster awareness among supervised enterprises on best practices for dealing with cloud service providers.

 

Responsibility for outsourced activities will remain with a supervised entity’s board and cannot be delegated to a cloud service provider.
