Cloud security and privacy

Adopting cloud services introduces specific risks beyond traditional ISO 27001 controls. ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 provide the framework to manage these risks systematically.

ISO 27017 — Cloud security

  • Cloud responsibility mapping (CSP vs. customer)
  • GAP analysis against ISO 27017 controls
  • Cloud asset inventory and classification
  • Implementation of cloud-specific controls
  • Cloud provider security assessments
  • Preparation for extended certification

ISO 27018 — Cloud privacy (PII)

  • GAP analysis against ISO 27018 controls (PII)
  • Integration with GDPR privacy policies
  • Data subject rights management in cloud environments
  • Cloud provider privacy assessment
  • Preparation for joint certification with ISO 27001
