Overview
ISO/IEC 27017 is a code of practice giving guidelines for information security controls that apply to the provision and use of cloud services. It builds on ISO/IEC 27002, adding cloud-specific guidance to many of its controls and introducing further controls unique to the cloud. It addresses providers and customers alike, with the architects, auditors and procurement teams who must settle where one party's obligations end and the other's begin. It is not a standalone certifiable system: it is used alongside an ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS, and conformity is typically assessed as an extension of that certification, its scope explicitly naming the cloud controls.
The subject matter is practical: dividing security responsibilities between provider and customer, removal and return of assets on contract termination, segregation within virtualised environments, the operational security of cloud administrators, monitoring of cloud services, and alignment of the virtual network environment with the physical one. The documentation carries the ISMS spine those controls attach to, plus cloud security and acceptable use policies, shared responsibility guidance and a cloud asset register. ISO/IEC 27018 commonly accompanies it where public clouds hold personally identifiable information.
What this system covers
- Shared responsibility: allocating each control and naming who evidences it
- Virtualisation and segregation: hardening virtual machines, separating tenant environments
- Cloud administrator operational security: privileged operations, monitoring and log review
- Cloud asset identification and classification: bringing cloud instances into the register
- Contract termination: return of assets, media disposal and withdrawal of access
- Cloud vendor assessment and acceptable use: supplier evaluation and rules for users
- Risk assessment, incident investigation and continuity testing in the underlying ISMS
- Personnel security across the joiner, mover and leaver cycle, with role-based training
Who it's for
Intended for cloud providers answering customer due diligence, and for organisations whose critical workloads now sit on third-party platforms while their ISO/IEC 27001 scope has yet to catch up. The trigger is usually a client audit or a tender clause; the outcome is a control set with every cloud control assigned to a named party.
