BaFin issued guidance on outsourcing to cloud service providers (BaFin Cloud Outsourcing Guidance) to create greater transparency into the supervisory assessment of cloud outsourcing.

The BaFin Cloud Outsourcing Guidance provides specific outsourcing guidance for financial institutions on contractual terms, including information and audit rights, the right to issue instructions, data security and protection, termination and chain outsourcing.

Google Cloud's contracts for financial institutions in Germany address the requirements in the BaFin Cloud Outsourcing Guidance.
