ISO/IEC 27017 – Securing cloud environments and services
Security of cloud environments and services
ISO/IEC 27017:2026 provides security controls and recommendations specifically adapted to cloud services. Based on ISO/IEC 27002, it clarifies in particular the shared security responsibilities between cloud providers and customers, and applies to public, private, and hybrid environments.
It is particularly relevant for SaaS and cloud providers, organizations that depend heavily on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, or private environments, as well as regulated companies whose critical data or applications are hosted outside their traditional infrastructure.
Implementation makes it possible to identify poorly defined responsibilities, risky configurations, privileged access issues, monitoring gaps, and dependencies on suppliers. It is a particularly good complement to an ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS.
Indicative effort: 2 to 5 months; 50 to 150 internal person-hours; approximately 80 to 220 Quantum Beyond hours, depending on the number of platforms, accounts, regions, providers, and cloud architectures.
The work of Quantum Beyond's experts can include mapping responsibilities, architecture analysis, IAM and privileges, configurations, logging, segmentation, backups, supplier management, and the integration of cloud controls into the overall cybersecurity system.
The main benefit is a much clearer view of cloud security: who protects what, how controls are verified, and where gray areas remain that could turn into vulnerabilities.
The strategic nature of our engagements demands impeccable confidentiality.
