Statement of Applicability (SoA)

The Statement of Applicability (SoA) is the central document of an information security management system. It lists the security controls of the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standard (Annex A, 93 controls) and, for each one, states whether it applies to Bunker and where we stand.

We publish it for the same reason as the rest of our security policy, to make our posture verifiable without having to ask for it. A public buyer, a CISO or a DPO can read it before the first conversation.

Status regarding the ISO/IEC 27001 standard

Our ISMS is aligned with the ISO/IEC 27001 standard. Our controls are self-assessed and not certified by a third party to date. ISO 27001 certification is a stated objective. This statement reflects our self-assessment, and not the outcome of a certification audit.

How to read this statement

Each control carries a status, assigned from concrete evidence (infrastructure configuration, code, procedures, contracts), not from intent. We would rather declare a control partial than over-declare it.

StatusMeaning
ImplementedThe control is in place and operational in production.
PartialThe control is in place for the essentials, but one aspect (formalisation, coverage, scope) remains to be completed.
PlannedThe control is identified and on our roadmap, not yet deployed.
Not applicableThe control does not concern our activity (justified where relevant).

The scope of this statement is that of the ISMS, namely developing the platform and hosting it in our three datacenters located in France, with no dependency on a hyperscaler (see Scope).

A model designed for resilience

Bunker is designed to be highly resilient at the system level. Losing an entire datacenter is an event that is expected and non-critical by design (multi-datacenter replication and failover), rather than the classic single-site model that must keep running at all costs. Several physical controls of a given site are therefore assessed as compensated by this architecture. The availability objective is met through multi-datacenter design, not through the infallibility of any single site. The security model details this principle.

A.7 Physical controls

Bunker owns and operates its three datacenters. Physical security is part of our scope, not delegated to a third-party host. The controls below are therefore applicable (unlike a provider that outsources hosting). Physical hardening rolls out site by site; gaps at a given site are compensated by the multi-datacenter architecture.

Available on request

This statement gives the overview. The per-control detail (evidence, internal procedures, the record of processing activities under Article 30 of the GDPR, insurance certificates and tender documents) is provided on request to the DPO, as our internal review progresses. Write to [email protected].

Path to certification

Our priority is ISO 27001 certification. The certification path will include an external penetration test (A.5.35) and a third-party audit that will turn our self-assessment into an independent attestation. The French ANSSI SecNumCloud qualification is a longer-term objective, subject to how our resources and our market evolve.

We claim no certification we do not hold. Any change to this status will be published here and on our security page.
