SecNumCloud-qualified VMware on OVHcloud
The SecNumCloud-qualified VMware on OVHcloud solution guarantees clients a complete VMware environment, managed industrially with a very high level of automation. This service is offered as part of the Trusted Zone solutions, where client data is hosted in dedicated datacentres and protected against non-EU regulations.
SecNumCloud-qualified SAP HANA on Private Cloud
This new platform combines SAP HANA-certified HCI servers with our SecNumCloud-qualified VMware on OVHcloud infrastructure. It enables secure hosting and effortless deployment of your most critical SAP environments in a sovereign cloud.
In May 2021, the French government announced the implementation of a new “Trusted Cloud” label for cloud service providers to national administrations. This is based on the SecNumCloud certification, supplemented by service immunity requirements for non-European extraterritorial laws. Our SecNumCloud-certified solutions meet all of these criteria.
For OVIs and OESs, compliance involves certification procedures based on risk analysis – especially the implementation of several security rules. Using our SecNumCloud-certified solutions provides elements that strengthen risk analysis documentation, giving clients the assurance that they are choosing solutions with a verified level of security and trust.

OVHcloud: Europe’s leading private cloud provider
OVHcloud has been offering hosted private cloud services based on VMware technologies since 2010. These Software-Defined Datacentre solutions are based on VMware SDDC Enterprise Plus clusters. OVHcloud delivers performance, scalability and a very high level of automation. Forrester named OVHcloud the European leader in the Hosted Private Cloud market segment in 2020. OVHcloud is ranked ahead of all its European competitors for this type of service.
Secure Trusted Zones and Disaster Recovery Plan
SecNumCloud-qualified solutions are offered in two dedicated and secure datacentres within a specific scope to meet the requirements of the ANSSI SecNumCloud framework (including biometric 2FA and extended CCTV video surveillance). These are referred to as OVHcloud’s Trusted Zones. Customers can set up their business continuity plan between our two Trusted Zones in Roubaix (RBX), Gravelines (GRA) and Strasbourg (SBG), where all traffic passes through encrypted private links.
Total immunity from non-European regulations
SecNumCloud-qualified solutions are operated 24/7, exclusively by European staff located in the European Union. Specific security measures and the segregation of information systems reinforce the protection of data that cannot be transferred outside of the European Union, strengthening the protection of customer data sovereignty.
Enhanced customer data security and increased compliance
Each customer’s cloud infrastructures are physically isolated, and we apply the Zero-Trust approach to securing access. The client administration tools are dedicated, benefit from reinforced access controls (2FA, secure interface, token authentication for sensitive actions) and require encryption of services at rest. Compliant with ISO 27001, ISO 27701, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, CSA Star, HDS, SOC I and II type 2 or PCI DSS.

About ANSSI Security Visas
The Security Visas issued by the National Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) allow reliable security solutions to be identified following an evaluation carried out by approved laboratories in accordance with a rigorous and proven methodology. This assessment involves an in-depth analysis of the organisation and its procedures, architecture and technical configurations in order to verify the compliance of these solutions with the relevant framework of requirements. A Security Visa is issued with a certificate or qualification, depending on the context and need. Security Visas are a guarantee of security for users in a framework of trust built by the ANSSI (source: ANSSI)

Which laws apply to your data?
The data hosted with a cloud provider is subject to the territorial laws to which its parent company is subject, as well as the territorial laws where this customer data is transferred, processed and stored. The invalidation of the “Privacy Shield” in July 2020 by the CJEU challenges data transfers hosted in the EU by American cloud providers. This data is subject to both European and American legislation, i.e. both the GDPR and US extraterritorial surveillance laws (FISA 702, EO 12333, etc.) and the CLOUD Act. Similarly, data hosted by Chinese cloud providers is subject to China's National Intelligence Law.
With SecNumCloud-qualified solutions, only European legislation can apply to your data.
