ISO/IEC 27017 – Security Controls for Cloud Services

ISO/IEC 27017 provides additional guidance and controls for cloud service providers and customers, building on the ISO/IEC 27001 framework.

Benefits of ISO/IEC 27017

  • Clarifies shared responsibilities for security in cloud environments.
  • Provides cloud-specific control guidance aligned with ISO/IEC 27002.
  • Helps assure customers about how their data and services are protected.
  • Supports contractual commitments around security in the cloud.

How it works with 27001

  • ISO/IEC 27017 is typically implemented as an extension to a 27001-certified ISMS.
  • We assess how your cloud controls map to the additional guidance in 27017.
  • Audit activities are usually combined with your main 27001 audit for efficiency.
