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."
