Safeguard your cloud services through robust information security controls
Safeguard your cloud services through robust information security controls
Ever more businesses are offering cloud-based services to customers, and so purchasing departments increasingly demand evidence that data stored on those cloud servers is safe. ISO/IEC 27017 standard is a set of guidelines for safeguarding cloud-based environments and minimising the potential risk of security incidents.
The ISO 27017 cloud security standard addresses topics such as:
Any organisation which provides cloud-based services can benefit from ISO/IEC 27017 certification – from online email providers and document management platforms to cloud-based apps and tools. It demonstrates to customers that you are following the most stringent cloud services security standards and have processes in place to manage any unforeseen problems.
If your organisation provides cloud services your customers will want assurances that their data, documents, messages and activity are protected under any circumstances. They will also want evidence that they will be able to retrieve and move their data whenever they wish. ISO/IEC 27017 cloud standard gives them that confidence.
Becoming ISO/IEC 27017 certified provides multiple benefits:
TÜV SÜD is a world leader in cloud computing service auditing and assessments and works with companies around the globe to provide independent audits and certification. Based on years of technical experience, our auditors are able to rapidly understand your cloud system’s architecture and assess whether or not it conforms to the standard. If it is non-conformant, you can use our reports to see which areas you need to improve on and receive certification.
As TÜV SÜD is vendor agnostic, our assessments are both impartial and independent, and we follow the highest standards of auditing practice to ensure neutrality and reliability every time. Our rigorous approach ensures greater trust for your customers.
The ISO 27017 standard provides the following recommendations for information security controls applicable to the provision and use of cloud services:
The benefits of the ISO 27017 certification process are as follows:
ISO/IEC 27001 is a certifiable standard, whereas 27017 is not. While going through the ISO 27001 certification process, you can certify against ISO 27017. To “certify” against ISO 27017, you must include the appropriate ISO 27017-related controls in the Statement of Applicability. While updating your risk management plan, establish the necessary controls, and convey the changes to your certification body. The certification body can then adjust the surveillance/certification audits based on your input.
