A regulated fintech uses WAF++ to map cloud controls to DSGVO, BSI C5, and NIS2, then closes Sovereign and Security gaps before an audit.
The company is a German payment services provider moving its core workload from a managed data centre to a multi-cloud setup. Regulators require documented evidence for data residency, encryption, access control, and incident response. The team needs a vendor-neutral way to structure the review and track gaps.
They run a WAF++ assessment focused on the Security, Sovereign, and Operational Excellence pillars. Each control is mapped to the relevant regulation, and missing evidence is recorded as a PASS score gap. The Security and Sovereign pillars receive extra weight because they are audit-relevant.
The team produces an audit-ready report with control mappings, evidence links, and a remediation backlog. PASS scores improve from 54 to 78 over two sprints, and the external audit finds no critical findings related to cloud controls.
WAF++ now includes an eighth pillar — AI-assisted architecture reviews, autonomous remediation, and policy-aware agents for secure cloud operations.
