German IT Security experts 'Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik' (BSI) validated ownCloud as a modern, internet-based successor to the proprietary server software in the report on the operation and security of ownCloud. The software traditionally provided file and messaging functionality to organisations and workgroups.

The report specifies the requirements, measures and considerations, and the security assessment with the risks involved with a high-protection deployment of ownCloud in the organisations of IT managers and other decision makers. The software is available as a free community-supported version and as an Enterprise edition that comes with additional features and support.
