Sept 1 (Reuters) – OVHcloud has obtained France’s SecNumCloud ​cybersecurity qualification for ‌its public cloud offering, as the country tightens rules ‌governing ​where ⁠sensitive state data ⁠can be stored and processed, the company said ​on Tuesday.

The French cloud provider ⁠said ⁠the service was ​aimed at government ​bodies, regulated companies and ‌software providers serving the public sector. It ⁠plans to deploy the platform in other ⁠European ‌regions as ⁠well, with Italy, ​Germany ‌and Poland ​next, subject ⁠to national requirements.
