Webex is first platform to achieve EU Cloud CoC compliance

Webex by Cisco – comprising Webex Meetings, Webex Messaging and Webex Calling – is the first collaboration and conferencing solution to achieve Level 3 adherence with the European Union’s Cloud Code of Conduct (EU Cloud CoC).

The EU Cloud CoC is a assurance framework for cloud service providers to demonstrate compliance with the EU’s GDPR, including transparency, accountability, data minimisation, data breach notification, and lawful data processing.

It also provides significant protections for individuals whose personal data is stored and processed in the cloud by setting clear expectations on how their personal data will be processed.

Webex underwent an independent third-party assessment and audit that verified all code controls, which was validated by SCOPE Europe, the monitoring body for the EU Cloud CoC.

In 2021, Cisco made a public commitment to incorporate the EU Cloud CoC controls into its solutions. The company operationalised these controls into the Cisco Cloud Controls Framework (CCF). By centralising various compliance requirements, the CCF offers a unified approach to understanding and meeting the requirements, regardless of where a standard originates.
