    Can you get certified to ISO 27017?

    ISO 27017 is a guidance standard. It offers recommendations rather than auditable requirements, so no accredited body can certify an organisation to ISO 27017. Any claim of "ISO 27017 certification" should be treated with caution.

    What is ISO 27017?

    ISO 27017 provides guidance on information security controls for cloud computing services. It supplements ISO 27001/27002 with cloud-specific security controls.

    Applying ISO 27017 in your organisation
