Numspot, a key player in the sovereign cloud in France, has reached a decisive milestone by obtaining the SecNumCloud qualification on the same day as OVHcloud. This distinction, issued by ANSSI, allows Numspot to position itself among trusted providers for hosting sensitive data of companies and the State. The initiative marks a significant advancement for the French cloud, thus expanding the options of secure solutions available on the market.
The essentials to remember
Imagine having the ability to secure your most sensitive data with certified cloud solutions. Numspot, although less known than some major companies in the sector, is a pillar of the French sovereign cloud. Thanks to its strategic partnerships and certifications, Numspot has established itself as a trusted player in cloud infrastructure management, ensuring security and flexibility for its clients. This new SecNumCloud qualification only strengthens this position.
The Tuesday in question was marked by an interesting synchronization of announcements from two giants of the French cloud. OVHcloud and Numspot both revealed having obtained the SecNumCloud qualification, a requirement that reinforces the security of the State’s sensitive data. This qualification, issued by ANSSI, is part of a 2015 decree but has recently gained increased importance by becoming mandatory.
Numspot, supported by influential partners such as Banque des Territoires and Bouygues Telecom, joined OVHcloud in celebrating this crucial step. This development highlights the growing importance of the sovereign cloud in France, a sector where security and compliance are paramount.
The obtaining of the SecNumCloud qualification by Numspot specifically concerns its infrastructure as a service (IaaS) offer. This essential cloud component provides the computing, storage, and network resources necessary for companies to deploy their applications. It forms the foundation on which many technological innovations rely, from web hosting to artificial intelligence.
Numspot thus joins a select group of providers having this certification on IaaS, a domain where certification is rarer compared to SaaS or PaaS services. This qualification strengthens Numspot’s position as a trusted player in the sovereign cloud, thus offering a portable and reversible infrastructure to its clients.
Numspot does not stop there and plans to qualify its PaaS offer, which includes artificial intelligence services. This expansion underscores the company’s commitment to providing comprehensive and secure solutions to its clients, going beyond infrastructure to include the operation of critical applications.
Eric Haddad, executive president of Numspot, emphasizes that this approach represents a “concrete marker” of the company’s level of requirement. The focus is on the quality of operation and data protection, essential aspects for building lasting trust with clients.
The sovereign cloud sector in France is undergoing transformation, with particular attention paid to cybersecurity. With the entry into force of new regulations and the obtaining of certifications such as SecNumCloud, sector players like Numspot must navigate an increasingly complex landscape.
Companies like Outscale and Thales/S3NS also play a key role in this area, developing hybrid and secure solutions. The SecNumCloud certification thus becomes an essential criterion for providers wishing to strengthen their position in the market.
