About CSSF S3
In the CSSF S3 system, data is stored as objects organised in buckets. An object is a file with its metadata; a bucket is the container for these objects. Each entity is connected to a dedicated bucket, divided into two folders.
- Submission: the reporting files you send
- Feedback: the feedback files returned by the CSSF

Frequently asked questions
What is CSSF S3?
The CSSF’s S3 (Simple Storage Service) solution is an object storage system, accessible through a web service interface, for secure file exchanges with the CSSF. Files are stored as objects, with their metadata, in buckets.
How is a bucket organised?
Each entity has a dedicated bucket with two folders: Submission, for the reporting files, and Feedback, for the feedback files returned by the CSSF.
How does an entity get access?
Through eDesk. The entity creates an advanced user with a “New advanced user request”, if not done already. The advanced user approves eDesk users on behalf of the entity and can designate an IT expert, who receives the credentials to access S3.
Where are the access keys stored?
In your own IT environment. The reports go directly to the CSSF, without any intermediary.
Which reports can be sent?
AIFMD Annex IV (AIFREP), CSSF U1.1, EMIR, SFTR and cross-border marketing notifications, among the procedures the CSSF accepts through S3.
Are files checked before filing?
