Everbridge Achieves German C5 Compliance Standard

Everbridge is only U.S.-based emergency notification provider to obtain C5 accreditation for cloud operations

BURLINGTON, Mass., June 13, 2019 – Everbridge, Inc. (NASDAQ: EVBG), the global leader in critical event management and enterprise safety software applications to help keep people safe and businesses running, today announced that it has completed its assessment for the Cloud Computing Compliance Controls Catalogue (C5) set out by the Federal Office for Information Security in Germany, also known as Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI). Everbridge is the first and only U.S.-based emergency notification providerto achieve BSI C5 attestation. This accreditation assures that the Everbridge Critical Event Management platform has undergone a rigorous third-party audit to ensure it complies with all security requirements defined by C5.

Everbridge’s commitment to applying the highest levels of compliance in controls and security is shown by meeting the C5 standard that serves not only as a benchmark for the German market, but also increasingly as a measure for institutions across Europe and Asia. Using Everbridge’s C5 audit report, customers can effortlessly evaluate how legal regulations (e.g. data privacy), their own policies, or the threat environment relate to their use of the Everbridge platform.

Javier Colado, Senior Vice President, International at Everbridge, commented, “Everbridge is fully committed to the highest standards in all aspects of our operations no matter where that might be in the world. We are proud to be the first U.S.-based critical event management provider to meet the stringent C5 compliance requirements – something that should increase the trust placed in us by our growing client base not only in Germany, but also around the world.”

C5 is intended primarily for professional cloud service providers, and their auditors and customers. It has 17 distinct control requirements that cloud providers either have to comply with or meet defined minimum standards. It is a required assessment for working with the public sector in Germany and is increasingly being adopted by the private sector.

In addition to obtaining C5 compliance – which covers the Everbridge Critical Event Management platform both in the U.S. and EU – Everbridge is also ISO 27001 certified and SSAE18 SOC 2/SOC 3 compliant.C5 is a further seal of quality that underlines the commitment of Everbridge to growing its presence around the world and ensuring that it always operates at market-leading standards.
