• Highest security requirements for cloud security, transparency, and risk management proven
  • Highly relevant for the banking and insurance sector

 

Munich, 3 April 2025. Gini, a provider of innovative payment solutions, has successfully passed the test according to the C5 catalog by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) and received the C5 attestation. In the highly regulated banking and insurance sector, in which Gini is active with its Gini Pay Connect solution for private health insurance companies, the C5 attestation ensures security and trust among end consumers and companies in the industry when handling highly sensitive data – such as health data. The BSI has now established itself as the central authority for cloud security guidelines, with the C5 standard being strongly recognized in Germany and Europe. Given the digital transformation, proof of C5 conformity is crucial for secure cloud use. The C5 attestation ensures the highest information security and compliance standards, creating a sustainable competitive advantage. Not only is compliance with the theoretical requirements tested, but implementation in practice also guarantees practical security.

 

The catalog serves as the basis for security standards for cloud service providers, which are confirmed by an attestation. It ensures compliance with both German market requirements and proven best practices. This enables companies to check the security standards of cloud providers in areas such as information security, transparency, and risk management.

 

“It is a matter of course for us to fulfill the high-security requirements of the BSI C5 requirements, which go far beyond the usual standards such as ISO 27001,” says Alexander Jäger, CEO of Gini. “Even if it means a considerable amount of extra work for cloud service providers, we work with highly sensitive data and are therefore also completing type 2 testing next. In this way, we can also prove in practice that our security measures meet the highest demands of our customers in the health insurance sector.”
