Trusted Cloud
The Trusted Cloud Competence Network.
The “Kompetenznetzwerk Trusted Cloud e.V.” is an association that was founded in mid-2015 as part of the Trusted Cloud technology program initiated by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) in Germany. One of the outcomes of the technology program was the development and establishment of a quality seal for trustworthy cloud services. In addition to providing general information on cloud computing, the network offers a marketplace for trusted cloud offerings. Furthermore, based on an objective and transparent criteria catalog, the Kompetenznetzwerk awards the Trusted Cloud Label to trustworthy cloud services.
The association pursues the following objectives:
• Increasing trust in cloud computing.
• Demonstrating the potential benefits of cloud computing, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
• Assisting in minimizing usage risks.
• Promoting competitiveness.
