Cyber threats and compliance requirements are evolving faster than ever. Canadian organizations need to ensure their sensitive data remains secure and compliant while not impeding on their ability to innovate and evolve. By aligning with Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) Cloud Assessments, SAP Canada Inc is giving organizations a compelling, complete and future-proof option to embrace all the opportunities the cloud can offer.
SAP has completed the Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) Cloud Assessment for our SAP Sovereign Cloud for Canada portfolio covering Cloud Medium (Protected B / Medium Integrity / Medium Availability (PBMM)) and the Protected B High Value Asset (PBHVA) Overlay. This achievement is another example of our expanded investment in Canada and commitment to remain compliant to existing and evolving requirements. The CCCS Summary Reports are available through the SAP Trust Center.
SAP Sovereign Cloud for Canada solutions and services in scope of the latest CCCS Assessment include:
- SAP S/4 HANA Private Cloud Edition
- SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)
- SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC)
- SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP)
- SAP FieldGlass
Additional SAP solutions and services are currently available in Canada and will be assessed in 2026.
What is CCCS and the CCCS Cloud Assessment Process?
The Canadian Centre for Cyber Security (CCCS) is the Government of Canada’s authoritative source of cyber security expert advice, guidance, services and support on cyber security for Canadians. CCCS manages the Cloud Service Provider Information Security Assessment Process. More information about the latest process and security control profiles is available on Government of Canada websites or by contacting CCCS. Completing CCCS cloud assessments is often a contractual requirement in Government of Canada contracts for cloud services.
Why CCCS Cloud Assessments Matter
CCCS Cloud Assessments help our customers manage risk in a shared responsibility model enabling them to confidently rely on SAP to securely store and process sensitive data. Even if customers do not require CCCS assessments, public and private sector organizations across Canada and the world benefit from the rigorous CCCS cloud assessments that validate SAP’s adherence to some of the highest security standards globally.
Organizations should consider the rigour of third-party assessments and CCCS cloud assessments to:
- lower compliance costs and reduce audit burden;
- enhance trust and stakeholder confidence from third-party validated security controls;
- unlock new opportunities for digital transformation with cloud services that are proven to meet Canadian security standards; and
- increase productivity, improve citizen services, and create competitive advantage
