ISO/IEC 27017:2026 INFORMATION SECURITY, CYBERSECURITY AND PRIVACY PROTECTION – INFORMATION SECURITY CONTROLS BASED ON ISO/IEC 27002 FOR CLOUD SERVICES
CODE OF PRACTICE FOR INFORMATION SECURITY CONTROLS BASED ON ISO/IEC 27002 FOR CLOUD SERVICES.
ISO/IEC 27017:2026 — Information Technology – Security Techniques — provides guidelines to implement information security controls applicable to the provision and use of cloud services. It serves as an extension to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002, offering additional controls and implementation guidance specific to cloud environments.
What is ISO/IEC 27017:2026?
Some of the guidelines are for cloud service customers who implement controls, and some are for service providers to support the implementation of said controls.
Selecting appropriate information security controls will depend on a risk assessment and any other cloud-sector specific information security requirements.
Why does an Organisation need ISO/IEC 27017:2026?
ISO/IEC 27017:2026 provides practical information about what to expect from cloud service providers. It also outlines the roles and responsibilities that users of cloud services have.
An organisation that implements this standard can be confident that they are effectively utilising cloud services while protecting themselves. ISO/IEC 27017:2026 allows you to provide your customers with the assurance that their information is secure.
What are the Benefits of Implementing ISO/IEC 27017:2026?
As more businesses offer cloud-based services, the protection of cloud services has become increasingly important. Stakeholders want to be reassured that their data is secure, and they expect evidence that their data, activity activities, documents, and messages are protected under all circumstances.
ISO/IEC 27017 certification provides multiple benefits, such as:
- A reduction in operational risk because vulnerabilities are analysed, and risks are mitigated.
- An independent third-party certification builds the reputation of the organisation and earns trust.
- Responsibilities are clearly outlined and defined.
