Philadelphia, PA
Qlik® today announced the achievement of the German C5 Attestation, underscoring its continued investment in secure, compliant, and high-performance cloud solutions for customers worldwide. This milestone is particularly significant for those operating in highly regulated industries such as healthcare, insurance, and the public sectors.

The Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalogue (C5), developed by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI), establishes a rigorous baseline for cloud security. Achieving C5 Attestation reflects Qlik’s continued investment in meeting evolving global standards for data protection and information security, further strengthening its position as a trusted provider for organizations managing sensitive data.

“German C5 Attestation is an important validation of the standards we hold ourselves to as a trusted enterprise technology partner,” said Gareth Vincent, Senior Vice President of Sales, EMEA, Qlik. “German organizations operating in highly regulated environments must earn trust with disciplined execution and strong governance. This achievement reinforces our commitment to helping customers protect sensitive data while accelerating their use of analytics and AI with confidence.”

As regulations governing German Personal Health Information (PHI) continue to evolve and take full effect, cloud service providers are required to meet C5 Type 2 certification standards to host or process such data. Qlik’s C5 Attestation ensures customers can confidently process, transfer, and store German PHI while aligning with national regulatory requirements.

Qlik’s C5 Attestation ensures that sensitive personal health and public sector data is protected in accordance with German government security and compliance criteria. This milestone enables organizations across healthcare, insurance, and government sectors to leverage Qlik’s platform while maintaining strict regulatory adherence.

In addition to compliance, customers benefit from Qlik’s advanced cloud services, including AI-driven analytics and automation capabilities. These features empower organizations to integrate data, streamline workflows, and generate deeper insights—all within a secure and compliant environment aligned with German regulatory standards.

With this achievement, Qlik meets critical German government and regulatory requirements, ensuring that data is stored and processed according to national standards. The attestation also supports the development of compliant systems that take advantage of Qlik’s latest innovations, including Agentic AI-powered capabilities such as Qlik Answers®, Qlik Predict®, and Qlik’s expanding suite of intelligent agents.
