Secure cloud from Germany – GDPR-compliant & ISO-certified

Secure web hosting refers to hosting services that offer special security standards and functions to protect your applications, websites and customer data effectively. This is essential above all for companies that depend on GDPR-compliant web hosting and high availability. Not all hosting providers offer the same security features – a careful comparison is therefore indispensable. Key characteristics of a secure web hosting provider include dedicated servers reserved solely for your company, SSL certificates for secure encryption of all connections, virtual private servers with separated resources, a web application firewall (WAF) to protect against unauthorised access, as well as automatic backups, two-factor authentication and spam filters. Advanced security features are described on the Premium Full Managing page.

You can tell whether a provider offers secure web hosting by the best practices implemented: SSL encryption, firewall configurations, regular backups and data centres certified to ISO 27001. At centron we implement all of these standards and combine them with transparent communication and support from certified technicians. If a hosting provider does not meet these points or provides no information about them, caution is advised – especially if you process sensitive data or must meet compliance requirements.

Yes. Our information security processes are certified to ISO 27001 and reviewed regularly. The certification confirms structured security measures, clearly defined responsibilities and documented processes for the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. For companies in regulated industries this forms a resilient basis for auditable cloud infrastructures.

Data is held in the German legal space by default; on request, an infrastructure in Switzerland can alternatively be realised. International third-country access or unclear subcontractor structures are deliberately excluded. Companies from healthcare, the financial sector and the public sector benefit from transparent data storage and traceable processes.

The BSI C5:2020 Type 1 attestation confirms that the ccloud³ has been audited against the BSI’s Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalogue – with a focus on security measures, transparency, traceability and controlled processes. For companies with high compliance requirements, the attestation creates a reliable basis for operating cloud services securely and auditably.

That companies retain control of their data at all times – technically and legally. Hosting in the German legal space, transparent infrastructure and clearly defined responsibilities ensure that data does not flow uncontrolled into international jurisdictions.

Yes: automated backups with restore option, end-to-end encryption via TLS/SSL, web application firewalls with real-time monitoring and proactive DDoS mitigation. Find out more on the Premium Full Managing page.

Automated backup systems are included with all cloud server offerings: daily snapshots, encrypted storage in ISO 27001-certified data centres and flexible recovery options – ideal for companies that prioritise resilience and data security.

With US-registered or US-controlled providers, US authorities may access data under the CLOUD Act – even if the data is physically held in an EU data centre. This can lead to conflicts with the GDPR and to reputational and business risks if customer data, personal data or trade secrets are affected.

By choosing providers that are not subject to US law – ideally with headquarters, management and infrastructure exclusively in the EU. In addition, a combination of technical measures (client-side encryption, key sovereignty with the customer), contractual safeguards (data protection and data processing agreements) and clear data classification is recommended, so that highly sensitive data remains in a trusted environment.
