SAP Cloud Platform is the SAP Business Application Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering. As an essential part of SAP’s cloud strategy, it enables SAP and its partners and customers to develop, deploy, run, operate, and use applications in a cloud environment. The cloud platform is built to enable interoperability and at the same time to ensure security and integrity required by applications operating in a distributed network environment.

SAP Cloud Platform is a multitenant public cloud offering which allows application providers, including SAP itself, to build lightweight, collaborative, network-oriented applications to complement and extend existing SAP solutions.

SAP Cloud Platform consists of services that are offered on different infrastructures, leveraging SAP infrastructures or external Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider.  

SAP Cloud Platform is a product implemented by SAP, and as such, it uses the Innovation Cycle framework for product and solution creation, certified with ISO 9001:2015.

The Cloud Computing Compliance Controls Catalogue (abbreviated “C5”) is intended primarily for cloud service providers as well as their customers and auditors. It is defined which requirements (also referred to as controls in this context) the cloud providers have to comply with or which minimum requirements the cloud providers should be obliged to meet. The catalogue is divided into 17 thematic sections (e.g. organization of information security, physical security). The surrounding parameters provide additional information on the data location, provision of services, place of jurisdiction, certifications and duties of investigation and disclosure towards government agencies and contain a system description.
