LLP System Management offers certification services for ISO/IEC 27017:2015 — the international standard for cloud computing security. If your company in Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan uses cloud technologies, this standard will help you enhance data protection and strengthen customer trust.
Let’s look at what ISO/IEC 27017 covers, the benefits it brings to your business, and how we can support you in achieving certification.
What does the ISO/IEC 27017:2015 standard cover
ISO/IEC 27017 is an extension of the ISO 27000 series standards that sets requirements for cloud security. The document provides additional guidelines on protecting information in cloud computing, both for cloud service providers and their customers.
The standard covers:
- Cloud infrastructure and data management policies;
- Protective measures to prevent unauthorised access;
- Ensuring confidentiality and data integrity;
- Control over data processing and transfer processes;
- Risk management when working with cloud services.
Thus, ISO/IEC 27017 certification guarantees that your cloud technologies comply with international security requirements.
Specifics of data security in cloud environments
Cloud computing provides flexibility and convenience, but it also introduces new risks. These include data leaks, unauthorised access, and breaches of confidentiality. ISO cloud security standards, in particular ISO/IEC 27017, help to manage these risks.
Key aspects of ensuring cloud data security include:
- Access control: Managing who can view or modify specific data.
- Encryption: Protecting data during transfer and storage.
- Authentication and authorisation: Using multi-factor authentication to prevent breaches.
- Monitoring and auditing: Continuously tracking user activity and identifying suspicious behaviour.
These measures provide comprehensive protection in line with ISO cloud security standards and help prevent security incidents.
Key recommendations and control measures under ISO/IEC 27017
The ISO/IEC 27017 standard includes a set of control measures that must be implemented to protect cloud services. Among the key recommendations are:
- Responsibility of parties: Clear allocation of responsibilities between the cloud service provider and the customer.
- Virtual machine management: Secure configuration and control of the cloud infrastructure.
- Remote access control: Use of VPNs and encryption to ensure secure connections.
- Regular backups: Creation of backup copies and protection against unauthorised alterations.
- Secure data disposal: Proper destruction of information once it is no longer required.
Implementing these measures enhances ISO-compliant cloud security and reduces the likelihood of data leaks or losses.
Business benefits of implementing ISO/IEC 27017
ISO/IEC 27017 certification brings numerous advantages to your business, especially if you operate in the field of cloud technologies:
- Customer trust: Demonstrating a high level of data protection enhances your reputation.
- Regulatory compliance: Meeting international cloud security standards helps you pass audits more easily.
- Risk minimisation: Reducing the likelihood of cyberattacks and data breaches.
- Competitive advantage: Certification provides an additional argument when participating in tenders.
- Process optimisation: Implementing best practices in information security management.
In this way, ISO cloud technologies become not only secure but also efficient for business.
