ISO 27017 certification
Enhanced cloud security with DEKRA
Cloud services play a crucial role in our modern digital world. From storage and computing power to applications – businesses and individuals increasingly rely on the cloud. However, this convenience also comes with risks. Unauthorized access to sensitive data can lead to serious issues such as data loss or identity theft. That’s where ISO 27017 comes in.
What is ISO 27017?
ISO 27017 is an international standard specifically developed for cloud service security. It provides guidelines to improve the security of cloud environments – both for service providers and their customers. With ISO 27017 certification, organizations can demonstrate compliance with the highest cloud security standards.
Key features of ISO 27017
- Focuses on specific security controls for cloud service providers.
- Addresses the relationship between providers and customers.
- Helps identify security risks and implement effective solutions.
What are the benefits of ISO 27017 certification?
- Reduced security risks: By following ISO 27017 guidelines, you lower the risk of cyberattacks and data breaches.
- Stronger competitive advantage: Certification shows your organization prioritizes security, boosting customer trust.
- Demonstrable compliance: You prove that your cloud security meets relevant standards and best practices in data protection.
- Enhanced customer confidence: Transparency and compliance with the standard strengthen stakeholder relationships.
How does certification work?
ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 are build upon ISO 27001, but ISO 27017 is specifically tailored to address the unique challenges of cloud services. During the ISO 27001 audit, we assess the additional ISO 27017 controls. DEKRA auditors evaluate the core aspects of your cloud security – including identifying risks and implementing specific measures to manage them.
Upon a successful outcome, your organization receives an ISO 27017 certificate. This confirms that your cloud services comply with the highest security standards.
