Where you belong:
French Sovereign Cloud Context
SecNumCloud imposes requirements beyond standard ISO 27001 or SOC2 in several critical areas:
Data sovereignty: physical access and data processing confined to French territory; HSM-based key management with no foreign key escrow
Personnel security: production system operators subject to ANSSI vetting; non-EU nationals require explicit derogation
Supply chain control: all sub processors subject to ANSSI review; non-EU sub processors require derogation approval
Incident reporting: mandatory ANSSI notification within defined SLA separate from CNIL breach notification obligations
Audit cadence: annual PASSI surveillance audits; full qualification renewal every three years
This context defines the operating reality of the role candidates without prior exposure to this regulatory environment should expect a 69-month ramp before operating autonomously.
