Financial industry: DORA-ready operations

Operational resilience and outsourcing management need evidence, not assurances – from German data centres, with a BSI certificate and C5 attestation.

Why centron

What the financial sector needs from the cloud

DORA has applied directly since January 2025. That shifts the requirement from policy to technology: recovery and restoration must demonstrably work.

Evidence for your outsourcing file

ISO 27001 based on IT-Grundschutz (BSI certificate BSI-IGZ-0773) and an unqualified BSI C5:2020 Type 1 attestation – including scope, technical measures and the data processing agreement in the Trust Center.

German company, German locations

centron GmbH, based in Hallstadt near Bamberg, with no foreign parent company. Customer data is processed exclusively in German data centres, with no transfer to third countries.

Separated backup environment

Backups independent of the production system, immutable via the object lock function of S3 Object Storage, with a dedicated permission and network concept for the backup path.

Named contacts instead of ticket numbers

Fixed contacts who answer questions from internal audit, outsourcing management and supervisory authorities – without escalation chains across time zones.

From risk analysis to recovery

Infrastructure that withstands the audit

You define the recovery objectives – RTO and RPO determine how often backups run, how long they are retained and whether a second environment runs permanently or is only built in an emergency. centron provides the infrastructure and the documentation: certificates with scope, an overview of technical and organisational measures, and the data processing agreement. You classify the outsourcing as material or not; we supply a reliable service description for it.

Industries & sectors FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is centron suitable as an outsourcing provider under BAIT and MaRisk?

You classify the outsourcing as material or not, based on your own risk analysis – responsibility towards the supervisory authority remains with the institution. centron supplies the documents: service description, certificates with scope (ISO 27001 based on IT-Grundschutz, BSI certificate BSI-IGZ-0773), the unqualified BSI C5:2020 Type 1 attestation, documentation of technical and organisational measures, and the data processing agreement. Everything is available in the Trust Center.

How does centron meet the DORA requirement for separated backup systems?

With a backup environment that is not attached to the production system: backups run through cBacks into a separate environment, immutable via the object lock function of S3 Object Storage, with a dedicated permission and network concept for the backup path. Anyone who can reach the backups through the production system loses both in an incident – separation prevents exactly that.

Who defines RTO and RPO?

You do. Your institution's impact analysis determines the acceptable downtime (RTO) and acceptable data loss (RPO). From those follow how often backups run, how long they are retained and whether a second environment runs permanently or is only built in an emergency. We work through that calculation with you – but you set the values.

Is data processed outside Germany?

No. Customer data is processed exclusively in German data centres, with no transfer to third countries. centron is a German company based in Hallstadt near Bamberg with no foreign parent company – a point that comes up regularly in outsourcing reviews.
