ISO/IEC 27017 is a security standard developed for cloud service providers and users to make a safer cloud-based environment and reduce the risk of security problems. [1] It was published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) under the joint ISO and IEC subcommittee, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27.

Cloud computing and storage provide users with the capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers. [1] Organizations use the cloud in a variety of different service models (with acronyms such as SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS) and deployment models (private, public, hybrid, and community).
One of the main challenges of cloud computing, in comparison to more traditional on-premises computing, is data security and privacy. Cloud users entrust their sensitive data to third-party providers, who may not have adequate measures to protect it from unauthorized access, breaches, or leaks.
It covers information security 'hot topics' such as consumer devices, critical infrastructure, cybercrime attacks, office equipment, spreadsheets and databases and cloud computing. The Standard is aligned with the requirements for an Information Security Management System (ISMS) set out in ISO/IEC 27000-series standards, and provides wider and ...
Organizations are shifting to hybrid cloud and on-prem IT infrastructure for more control over data. This trend is driven by data privacy, security concerns, and AI's growing influence.
The standard would have multiple levels of security assurance: [2] Tier 1: Designed for non-business critical data and system, with baseline security controls to address security risks and threats in potentially low impact information systems using cloud services (e.g.: Web site hosting public information)
In recent years, cloud computing has introduced unique security challenges, and ISO/IEC 27017 was developed to address these concerns. [11] This standard provides guidelines for implementing cloud-specific information security controls, ensuring secure use of cloud services by both cloud providers and customers.
Alfresco, an example of on-premises document management software An Example of on-premises software (MediaWiki). On-premises software (abbreviated to on-prem, and often written as "on-premise") [1] is installed and runs on computers on the premises of the person or organization using the software, rather than at a remote facility such as a server farm or cloud.
