French SecNumCloud by ANSSI

SecNumCloud is a French cloud security certification program, created and managed by ANSSI (Agence Nationale de la Sécurité des Systèmes d’Information), the French National Cybersecurity Agency, aiming to improve protection for public authorities and Operators of Vital Importance (OVIs).

French SecNumCloud requires organizations to meet strict technical and organizational security standards in order to be eligible for the certification. The process can involve a rigorous assessment with several steps that need to be completed, making it difficult to obtain. Fortunately, we are a recognized SecNumCloud advisor that can help make the lengthy certification process more efficient to achieve France’s highest level of security compliance.

Our Advisory Process

What is the SecNumCloud Process?

The French SecNumCloud is one of the most difficult security certifications to obtain due to its strict and detailed requirements. It requires an extensive audit, testing and assessment of existing information systems as well as new implementations to ensure that they are able to withstand multiple attack scenarios. The Security Visas issued by ANSSI make it possible to easily identify the most reliable solutions that are recognized as such.

No matter where you are in your SecNumCloud process, 38North can make certification easier. ‌Talk with one of our SecNumCloud experts.

Evaluation

An evaluation is performed by licensed evaluation centers in accordance with rigorous and tested methods. In particular, this evaluation involves in-depth testing and analysis to make sure that the solutions are compliant with the corresponding standards.

Certification

Upon successful completion of the French SecNumCloud audit and review process, ANSSI decides whether or not to issue the applicable Visa for the product or service provider evaluated. At this point, the organization is granted French SecNumCloud certification.

SecNumCloud Certification Challenges

Companies must also implement comprehensive policies and procedures to ensure their systems remain secure over time. To pass French SecNumCloud certification, companies must demonstrate an exceptionally high level of security protocols that are enforced by regularly conducting ongoing monitoring activities.

Scoping

Contractors must have a detailed understanding of their business and risk posture to properly scope their cybersecurity practices to meet the requirements of the SecNumCloud certification process. An incomplete plan can result in a failure to be certified.

Expertise

Many in-house teams are challenged to understand France’s complex security standards and frameworks. Along with extensive knowledge needed of how France’s requirements are applied. 38North is one of the few experienced advisors with a long history of expert security services, including SecNumCloud.

Continuous Maturity

In order to maintain certification, applicants must ensure all their practices are consistently compliant to current and updated standards.
