Understanding ISO/IEC 27017 Information Security Controls for Cloud Services
As businesses increasingly adopt cloud computing for their operations, ensuring the security of data and information in the cloud becomes paramount. This is where ISO/IEC 27017 comes in. ISO/IEC 27017 is a standard that provides guidelines for information security controls applicable to cloud services.
The standard outlines best practices for cloud service providers and cloud customers in ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information in the cloud. It provides guidance on risk assessment, cloud computing threats and vulnerabilities, security controls, incident management and response, business continuity, compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, cloud computing contract considerations, and certification and accreditation.
The standard is intended to be used in conjunction with ISO/IEC 27001, which provides a framework for information security management systems. While ISO/IEC 27001 provides a general approach to information security management, ISO/IEC 27017 specifically addresses the unique security challenges presented by cloud computing.
Businesses that adopt ISO/IEC 27017 can benefit from increased trust and confidence in their cloud services, as well as improved risk management and compliance with regulatory requirements. Additionally, ISO/IEC 27017 provides a common language for cloud service providers and customers to communicate about information security requirements.
To become certified in ISO/IEC 27017, individuals must complete a BSI accredited training course and pass the certification exam. The exam is provided by BSI and consists of 40 questions to be completed in one hour. The pass mark is 65%.
