ISO/IEC 27017 — Cloud Security

Cloud-specific security controls that extend ISO 27001, giving cloud service providers and customers a shared reference for cloud security responsibilities.

What It Is

Security controls built for the cloud

ISO/IEC 27017 provides additional implementation guidance for information security controls specific to cloud services, clarifying which security responsibilities sit with the provider and which sit with the customer.

It's typically implemented alongside ISO 27001 rather than as a standalone certification.
