Public institutions handle sensitive citizen data, biometric records, and classified information. Tallence builds compliant cloud architectures on AWS that meet the strict data protection requirements of German public sector IT.

AWS Cloud for Public Sector

Industry challenges

Public sector IT demands sovereignty and auditability.

Government agencies and public institutions process data that requires the highest levels of protection. Data classification, infrastructure control, and audit trails are non-negotiable. Tallence operates the ImageSign biometric photo solution for Ringfoto on AWS, processing passport and ID photos for a significant share of the German photographer market.

Data sovereignty and jurisdiction

Citizen data must stay within EU regions. The CLOUD Act creates a residual risk on US-owned hyperscalers that must be assessed, documented, and mitigated through technical and contractual controls.

Biometric and classified data handling

Storage and processing of biometric data, identity documents, and classified records require dedicated infrastructure with strict access controls.

BSI compliance and IT-Grundschutz

Federal and state agencies must comply with BSI standards, IT-Grundschutz catalogues, and sector-specific security requirements.

Procurement and operational constraints

Public procurement rules, multi-year budget cycles, and limited internal cloud expertise create unique operational challenges.

Relevant frameworks

Compliance frameworks for public sector.

Public institutions face the most demanding compliance landscape in Germany. Tallence maps your AWS environment against the frameworks regulators require.
