ISO/IEC 27017 is a globally recognized standard that guides cloud service providers in the practice of information security control measures. This standard builds upon the frameworks of ISO 27001 and ISO 27002 to provide customized security control guidance for various cloud service models, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). It covers not only additional controls specific to cloud services but also includes specific guidance for implementing these controls, as well as newly introduced control mechanisms to address the unique needs of cloud services.

By obtaining ISO 27017 certification, enterprises can enhance the information security management of their cloud services, strengthen customer trust, reduce business disputes, and eliminate technical and managerial barriers. This certification ensures that customer assets are properly protected, reduces the risk of data breaches, enhances market competitiveness, maintains brand image, avoids penalties for non-compliance, and promotes the development of the enterprise's global business. It also helps enterprises meet compliance requirements such as the GDPR. The certification process for ISO 27017 includes determining the scope of certification, system audits, internal reviews, selecting a certification body, undergoing audits, and obtaining a certificate, thereby improving the enterprise's information security management level and market reputation.
