Three years of research, innovation and collaboration are coming together as EMERALD approaches its conclusion.

The 3rd and final EMERALD Annual Summary has been published, offering a comprehensive overview of the project’s achievements during its final year and highlighting the transition from technical development to an integrated and validated solution for continuous cloud certification.

The publication presents the final EMERALD Compliance-as-a-Service framework, bringing together automated evidence extraction, intelligent metric mapping, assessment and certification mechanisms, and a user-centred interface. Particular attention is given to the validation activities carried out across four industrial pilots, demonstrating the framework’s applicability in public cloud, software and hybrid cloud-edge environments.

The Annual Summary also highlights the project’s achievements in dissemination, exploitation, networking and standardisation, including collaboration within the European Cluster for Cybersecurity Certification (EC3), and explores the sustainability and future uptake of EMERALD’s results beyond the project’s lifetime.

Discover the results of three years of collaborative research and the foundations laid for more efficient, automated and evidence-based cloud certification.

The Annual Summary is available for download in the Communication section of the EMERALD website.
