The principles of ISO/IEC 27017 revolve around enhancing security controls specifically tailored for cloud computing environments. These principles are aligned with the overarching goals of information security management and focus on ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data stored and processed in the cloud. Here are the key principles of ISO/IEC 27017:
By adhering to these principles, organizations can strengthen their cloud security posture and effectively mitigate risks associated with cloud computing. ISO/IEC 27017 provides a comprehensive framework for implementing security controls that address the unique challenges of cloud environments while fostering trust and confidence among cloud service providers and customers.
Cloud computing refers to the delivery of computing services, including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and more, over the internet (“the cloud”). Instead of owning and maintaining physical infrastructure or data centers, organizations can access these resources on-demand from cloud service providers. Cloud computing offers flexibility, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility, allowing businesses to innovate and scale their operations more efficiently.
ISO/IEC 27017 is integral to cloud computing security, offering guidelines and best practices tailored for cloud environments. It addresses the unique challenges and risks inherent in storing and processing data in the cloud, building upon the broader ISO/IEC 27001 standard. By adhering to ISO/IEC 27017, both cloud service providers and customers can bolster the security of their cloud environments, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data while mitigating risks like data breaches, unauthorized access, and service disruptions.
Making clients feel safe about their data being stored in the cloud is vital. Having ISO/IEC 27017 standard allows an internationally standardized framework that can help reduce the risk of data breaches and build customer trust by showing your commitment to information security. The standard also gives guidance to cloud service customers on what they should want from their cloud service hosts.
The standard covers a range of topics such as asset ownership, removal and return of assets when a customer contract has been terminated, protection and separation of a customer’s virtual environment and more. With a growing risk of cloud data breaches now more than ever is important to know you and your organization are doing the most to try and reduce these risks as a cloud service provider and/or a cloud service customer.
As ISO 27017 is built from the foundations of ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 framework, the certification shows compliance internationally and helps your organization for both the cloud service providers and cloud service customers against risks within the cloud.
