ISO/IEC 27017:2015 Cloud Security Controls
An information security framework called ISO/IEC 27017 is designed for businesses using (or considering adopting) cloud services. Cloud service providers must adhere to this standard because it provides a uniform and all-encompassing approach to information security, making their cloud service clients (and others) safer. A risk assessment has become more crucial than ever due to the lack of data protection, and increased threats on cloud services.
The ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards, which offer best-practice recommendations for information security management, includes ISO 27017, which is great for cloud security controls. The extra cloud security controls suggested by this standard, which was created from ISO/IEC 27002, are not completely stated in that standard.
Detailed instructions for implementing extra cloud security controls and pertinent measures are listed in ISO/IEC 27002, including guidelines for using cloud services and data protection. Additionally, additional security measures are applicable.
Customers must feel secure about the security of their data in the cloud computing environment in that they choose to store their data. By showing your dedication to information security practices, ISO/IEC 27017 is a well-recognized methodology that, when implemented, will significantly lower the chance of data breaches and boost cloud customer trust.
The framework, when implemented, is designed to address a large range of concerns including asset ownership, in regards to the files of the user stored on the cloud, the removal, and the return of those assets if the customer chooses to terminate the contract.
The framework outlines administrative procedures for managing a cloud environment—criteria to fortify a virtual machine in line with corporate requirements.
Your business must demonstrate that it is taking all reasonable steps to reduce the risks posed by data breaches, whether you are a cloud service provider or a cloud service customer.
Does your Company need a ISO/IEC 27017 Certification?
ISO 27017 is crucial to make sure you follow best practices if you run a cloud storage service, use a SaaS, or if you directly integrate cloud storage into your business framework
For particular large-scale and government initiatives, consideration of ISO 27017 is increasingly becoming necessary. As these organizations will only collaborate with companies that exhibit a methodical dedication to risk reduction. Therefore, without a strong information security framework and certification, these organizations are unlikely to collaborate or partner due to the constant risk of data breaches.
The choice of appropriate information security controls framework implementation will depend on any legal, contractual, regulatory, or other cloud-specific information security requirements that are stated before they can operate.
