Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalog (C5)

This page describes Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalog (C5) compliance controls in Azure Databricks.

C5 overview

C5 is a German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) standard that defines minimum security requirements for cloud service providers. Organizations often use a C5 attestation to demonstrate the design and operating effectiveness of cloud security controls.

Key points

• Developed and maintained by the German BSI.
• Focuses on transparency and baseline security controls for cloud services.
• Complements frameworks such as ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2.

Enable C5 compliance controls

To configure your workspace to support processing of data regulated by the C5 standard, the workspace must have the compliance security profile enabled. Only specific preview features are supported for processing regulated data. For details on the compliance security profile, supported preview features, and supported regions, see Compliance security profile.

You are solely responsible for verifying that sensitive information is never entered in customer-defined input fields, such as workspace names, compute resource names, tags, job names, job run names, network names, credential names, storage account names, and Git repository IDs or URLs. These fields might be stored, processed, or accessed outside the compliance boundary.

To enable the compliance security profile, see Configure enhanced security and compliance settings.
