The path to SCS certification –
we will support you in this
Would you like to have yourself or your company certified according to the SCS standards? We will guide you step by step on the path to SCS certification - transparently, practically and with clear requirements based on open standards.
One step ahead with SCS certification
Tested interoperability
All certified providers meet binding standards that enable seamless interaction between cloud systems.
Open standards instead of dependency
Certified providers commit to open standards and open source, thereby avoiding dependencies on proprietary solutions.
Guaranteed digital sovereignty
The certificate confirms that customers retain control over their data, processes and infrastructure – regardless of individual manufacturers.
Transparent quality assurance
The SCS certificate proves that the business operates according to clearly defined and verifiable criteria.
European connectivity
The certification confirms that SCS-certified solutions are compatible with European frameworks such as the EU Cloud Sovereignty Framework and contribute to shared digital sovereignty in Europe.
Developed collaboratively
Certified providers actively participate in the further development of SCS standards within the open community – transparently, practically and with an eye to the future.
Certifiable standards
Certified SCS-compatible
Cloud providers can demonstrate their compliance with SCS standards through automated testing and transparent processes. If successful, they receive certification as „SCS-compatible“ – whether with the reference implementation or their own open solutions.
Certification as „Certified SCS-compatible IaaS“ confirms that an infrastructure complies with the IaaS standards of the Sovereign Cloud Stack – including protocols and specifications for virtual machines, storage, networks and other basic components – and thus enables secure, interoperable and efficient cloud operation.
Certification as „Certified SCS-compatible KaaS“ confirms that a Kubernetes service complies with SCS standards and enables uniform, secure and cross-platform container orchestration.
Certified SCS Integrator
SCS Integrator certifications confirm that service providers can professionally implement and operate cloud environments in accordance with IaaS or KaaS standards – with proven expertise and established processes.
