LINKÖPING, Sweden, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- International medical imaging IT and cybersecurity company Sectra (STO: SECT-B) has achieved a Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalogue (C5) Type 2 attestation for its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) for enterprise imaging, Sectra One Cloud. Building on last year's C5 Type 1 attestation, this confirms that Sectra's security controls have been operating effectively over an extended period, giving healthcare providers in Germany even greater confidence to move to the cloud.
The C5 attestation is created by Germany's national cybersecurity authority Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI), an authority that defines IT-Security requirements for all governmental systems in Germany. The attestation aims to strengthen the transparency and security for cloud-based solutions and contains a collection of requirements that defines what security measures a cloud service provider should have implemented to sell services handling patient data. A Type 2 attestation goes further than the initial Type 1 assessment, confirming not only that the right controls are designed, but that they have been consistently and effectively applied over a testing period of several months.
Sectra One Cloud, which operates within the Microsoft Azure public cloud environment, now has both C5 Type 2 and CSA STAR Level 2. While the CSA STAR Level 2 certificate, received in 2024, applies to global standards, the C5 attestation addresses requirements specific to the German market. Together, these certificates reflect Sectra's proactive leadership in advancing cloud security and transparency for the global healthcare market.
"Many healthcare providers are turning to the cloud to manage growing imaging volumes, reduce the IT-burden, and strengthen cybersecurity. In healthcare, it's critical that systems are robust and resilient to cyberthreats, something that's becoming increasingly important in today's digital landscape. We're proud to have achieved this attestation, as it confirms that our solution meets these high standards and gives providers the confidence to move to the cloud with us. Being one of the first in our field to receive it reinforces our commitment to supporting healthcare with secure and reliable solutions," says Guido Bötticher, Managing Director, Sectra DACH.
More about the attestation can be found on the website of BSI.
