ISO 27017 Certification For Cloud Security

What is ISO 27017?

ISO 27017 is a security standard developed for cloud service providers (CSP) and customers (CSC) to make a more secure cloud-based environment by implementing controls to reduce the risk of security and cyber threats.

The ISO 27017 certification is based on the code of practice for information security controls for ISO 27002 but focuses on cloud services. The standard introduces 7 new controls and enhancements to 38 existing security controls from ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 and gives guidance for both Cloud Service Providers (CSP) and Cloud Service Customers (CSC).

As a new standard, ISO 27017 reflects the continually changing landscape of IT and the security controls to be implemented to ensure that information and systems remain secure from growing security and cyber threats. This is why obtaining an ISO 27017 certification is vital in keeping you, your clients, and your customers’ data secure on cloud services.
