Standard Compliance
ISO/IEC 27017
ISO 27017: 2015 standard is a comprehensive framework for cloud security that focuses on providing guidance for information technology controls and security techniques specifically tailored for cloud services. It offers additional controls beyond those in ISO/IEC 27002, with a total of 37 controls based on ISO 27002 and 7 exclusive controls. These controls cover key areas such as shared roles and responsibilities within a cloud computing environment, removal and retrieval of customer assets post-contract termination, and much more. ISO 27017 is designed to help organizations, both cloud service providers and cloud service customers, enhance their security posture in the cloud environment and reduce the risk of security breaches.
Methodology
Obtaining ISO 27017 certification is essential for companies aiming to demonstrate a robust commitment to cloud security. While ISO 27017 is not a standalone management standard, companies can integrate its controls into their ISO 27001 audit. Compliance requires ongoing monitoring, surveillance audits, and system updates to ensure alignment with ISO standards.

GAP Analysis
An ISO 27017 Gap Analysis, also known as a Compliance Examination or Pre-Assessment, assesses the organization’s current level of compliance and the extent of its ISMS scope across all business functions. It provides businesses with necessary information and recommendations for implementing controls to address identified gaps.
Policy Drafting
During this phase, we will develop policies for the client’s organization aligned with ISO 27001 guidelines/framework and pertinent to ISMS. ISO 27017: 2015 policies encompass the Data Retention Policy, Data Protection Policy, Information Security Policy, and Access Control Policy.
Implementation
Once we’ve developed policies, we assess how important information security is for the business. The first step in implementing ISMS is to define its scope and security policy. We use assessment results to classify risks into different levels, helping the client take appropriate actions.
Internal Audit and Review
Once we’ve finished all the previous steps, we’ll move forward with obtaining ISO 27017 certification for your organization. This involves carefully examining your organization’s ISMS to ensure it meets the standard’s requirements. Audits are conducted to gather information about the client and the organization, identifying areas needing special attention.
Certification Audit
Finally, we’ll support you through the ISO 27017: 2015 certification procedure. This involves gaining a comprehensive grasp of the diverse documentation prerequisites and ensuring implementation validity.
Benefits
Cybersecurity is important because it protects organizational assets and services from malicious attacks and safeguards all types of data, including but not limited to sensitive data, protected health information (PHI), and personally identifiable information (PII) from theft and loss.
