DOME certification baseline
DOME marketplace will foster the adherence to the upcoming Cloud Rule Book. The EU Cloud Rulebook it is envisioned as a ???light??? regulation with no strict obligation (based on voluntary adoption) and issued as a ???Recommendation??? but the Member States will have the power to enforce it in their jurisdictions, if they wish, or even make compulsory a subset or a superset of it . For more details please refer to the Cloud Rule Book.
Consistent to this approach, the DOME certification compliance functionality will allow the services providers to check which certification they own and to allow the customers to search/filter the catalog upon the kind of qualification they aim to achieve. In the EU Cloud Rulebook it is expected to have different compliance levels, i.e. Level 1, Level 2, Level 3. Similarly, DOME will also support the labeling strategy initially into 3 categories based on the number of verified certifications (from the supported ones). The services will be tagged (by different colors) accordingly into these categories: Red - Level 1 (No verified certifications), Yellow Level 2 - (Some supported certifications verified), and Green - Level 3 (All the certifications have been verified by a Certification Body accepted in DOME).
For the first version of the platform the certifications supported are:
Characteristic / Tag to be included for each service:
DOME Level 1 - No certifications provided/achieved
DOME Level 2 - Partially verified (some certifications have been verified)
DOME Level 3 - All the certifications are verified
ThisDOME information will be also reflected at certification level, in the Compliance profile:
VERIFIED (verification passed), ,
SELF-DECLARED (self-declaration of certification compliance, there is no assurance from DOME about the validity)UNDER EVALUATION (validation process not finished) INVALID (validation not passed),Not achieved yet (evidences not provided)EXPIRED (expired certificate).
