]init[ receives C5:2020 Type 2 attestation Transparent cloud security at the highest level

Our Cloud Services

• ]init[ Hosting Platform

  The ]init[ Hosting Platform is based on PaaS and IaaS infrastructure and provides a secure, scalable platform for containers and web applications. It enables the easy deployment, management, and operation of modern web applications and business processes – supported by development frameworks, database services, and middleware. Stable and secure operation is guaranteed thanks to highly available data centers with certified infrastructure.

• ]init[ Secure Cloud Brokerage 

  The Secure Cloud Brokerage Service from ]init[ acts as a trusted intermediary between customers and external cloud services. Using state-of-the-art encryption technologies, the platform ensures that only authorized parties have access to the data – either ]init[’s operations staff or, optionally, the customer alone. This ensures the secure operation of hybrid cloud infrastructures.

• ]init[ Collaboration Services

  These services are based on product solutions and enable customers and specialist teams to collaborate in shared development and operational environments. In addition to collaboration tools, secure communication, documentation, and sharing solutions are also used to support effective project work across organizational boundaries. The systems are certified under the IT Baseline Protection standard in accordance with ISO 27001 and are operated in compliance with the GDPR.

• ]init[ Continuous Integration Platform

  This CI platform is part of ]init['s PaaS strategy and forms the foundation for automated build, test, and deployment processes (CI/CD). It integrates security mechanisms based on the "security by design" approach and is operated by experienced DevOps teams. The platform enables fast and secure software delivery, particularly in the context of government specialist systems and business-critical applications.

• ]init[ Tailored App Solutions  

  As part of this SaaS offering, ]init[ develops custom business applications and information portals that are precisely tailored to customer requirements. The solutions are designed, developed, documented, and operated in accordance with the C5 catalog – with a focus on data protection, IT security, and regulatory compliance. The applications run with high availability on ]init[ AG’s virtualized or containerized infrastructure.

• ]init[ Housing Service

  Our Housing Service provides secure accommodation and operation of your own hardware within a professional data centre environment, including power supply, climate control, physical security, and standardised connectivity. On request, we also take on defined operational services such as monitoring and remote hands. A georedundant setup across two separate data centre locations is available as an option to increase availability and resilience.

• ]init[ Backup Service

  We offer comprehensive backup services for data from external infrastructure, private cloud environments, and Microsoft 365 (Exchange Online, SharePoint, and Teams, including channels and chats). Backups can be stored in a central backup environment or as an offsite copy in Azure Blob Storage or a separate external infrastructure. This ensures automated, monitored backup and reliable data recovery. Optionally, we also support file-based storage via a ShareFile storage zone where centralised, controlled data exchange is required.

• ]init[ SOCaaS

  Our SOCaaS (Security Operations Center as a Service) provides continuous monitoring of your IT and cloud environments for the early detection, analysis, and prioritisation of security incidents. On request, we also provide defined services such as use case management, alert triage, incident response support, and regular reporting and hardening recommendations. A redundant setup across two separate SOC/operating environments is available as an option to increase availability and responsiveness.
