# Cloud Compliance Under Pressure:

What Regulated Organizations Need to Know About BSI C5

[Watch now](https://digital.abbyy.com/digital-sovereignty-bsi-c5-request#form)

Regulators are raising the bar for what trustworthy cloud operations look like. In Europe, the **[BSI Cloud Computing Compliance Controls Catalogue](https://lsz.at/TRANSFORM_IT_ABBYY)** — BSI C5 — has become one of the most rigorous benchmarks for cloud assurance. Organizations increasingly reference C5 in procurement, outsourcing reviews and vendor assessments as expectations around independently audited controls continue to grow.

For IT, security, compliance and architecture teams, that raises an important question: **your cloud platform may be attested, but what about the software processing regulated data on top of it?** As AI adoption grows, that distinction is becoming increasingly important for governance, procurement and audit readiness.

In this session **Andrew Pery (ABBYY) and Liam S. Hurst (SVA GmbH)** explore:

- What BSI C5 is, what an attestation covers, and how it relates to ISO 27001 and SOC 2
- Why audited controls matter across the full Document AI processing layer
- What to ask technology providers during procurement, vendor due diligence and outsourcing reviews
- How verified controls strengthen audit readiness across regulated industries
