ISO/IEC 27017 – Cloud-Specific Information Security Controls

ISO/IEC 27017 is an extension of ISO 27001 that provides additional controls and guidance tailored for cloud service providers and cloud customers. It addresses cloud-specific threats, responsibilities, and risk scenarios that traditional information security standards may not fully cover.

This standard promotes a shared responsibility model between cloud providers and customers to ensure clarity in roles, secure provisioning, and consistent cloud governance.
