Secure your cloud environment and demonstrate responsible data management with ISO/IEC 27017:2015 certification. QMatrix provides end-to-end ISO 27017 consulting, implementation, and certification support to organisations across India.
ISO/IEC 27017:2015 is an internationally recognised standard that provides guidelines for information security controls applicable to the provision and use of cloud services. It extends the controls of ISO/IEC 27002 with cloud-specific guidance and introduces additional controls that address the unique security requirements of cloud environments.
Why is ISO 27017 Important for Your Organisation?
As organisations increasingly migrate operations, data, and applications to the cloud, information security risks multiply. Customers, regulators, and partners require assurance that cloud-hosted data is protected under a structured and auditable security framework.
ISO/IEC 27017:2015 certification helps organisations establish, implement, and maintain robust information security controls specifically designed for cloud environments. Key advantages include:
- Strengthen the security posture of cloud services and environments
- Clearly define and document shared responsibilities between cloud service providers and customers
- Establish controls for asset ownership, data segregation, and virtual machine security
- Identify, assess, and manage cloud-specific information security risks
- Build trust with clients, partners, and regulators through independent third-party certification
- Support compliance with applicable data protection laws and contractual security obligations
- Demonstrate commitment to global best practices in cloud information security
- Complement and extend your existing ISO 27001 Information Security Management System
- Gain a competitive advantage when tendering for contracts that require cloud security certification
