TLS Certificates for Delos Cloud and a modern German administration
The Delos Cloud sovereign German cloud platform is designed with the goal of making federal, state and local authorities more efficient. D-Trust secures the platform with TLS certificates.
About us: what is the sovereign cloud from Delos Cloud?
Beginning in 2025, the sovereign cloud platform from Delos Cloud will be available to the German administration. The administration can use the platform to access services from SAP and Microsoft— especially the Microsoft 365 collaboration tools, which help to simplify daily tasks. Our flexible, scalable solution supports open-source technologies, third-party specialist processes and custom in-house developments. The cloud platform is based on Hyperscaler technology and fulfils all regulatory requirements that the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) places on cloud infrastructures in the fields of IT security, data protection and confidentiality.
What makes the Delos Cloud platform truly secure
- As an SAP-founded, German-based company that implements the very highest security standards, Delos Cloud GmbH guarantees independent cloud operations in Germany.
- All administrative data remains in data centers within Germany during processing, which means that there is no obligation to surrender any data to third countries.
- Microsoft does not have any access to the platform, and system updates are installed under official supervision only after being checked by Delos Cloud.
To protect communication over the cloud platform, Delos Cloud relies on the highly secure TLS certificates from D-Trust GmbH.
Security solutions: how TLS certificates secure the Delos Cloud platform
D-Trust products play a key role in the sovereignty of Delos Cloud. For example, the TLS certificates secure all data traffic on the platform. The certificates encrypt communication not only between users but also between the German data centers’ servers. Moreover, they verify the identity of the cloud provider. As a qualified, trust service provider of the Bundesdruckerei Group, D-Trust GmbH guarantees that its TLS certificates comply with all German and EU IT security guidelines, as well as the General Data Protection Regulation.
Overview: Delos Cloud schedule
Beginning in 2025, the infrastructure and platform services from Microsoft – the Azure Foundational and Mainstream Services – and the Microsoft Office 365 applications will be technically available. These changes will be followed by the provision of SAP services on the Delos Cloud platform. Third-party providers, such as specialist procedure manufacturers, will then also be allowed to offer their services on the platform, provided they meet the regulatory requirements. Delos Cloud thus provides a vendor-neutral and powerful cloud platform for federal, state and local authorities.
