Free consultation — 30 min response
ISO/IEC 27017:2026 is the current edition for cloud security controls. It replaced ISO/IEC 27017:2015. The standard helps providers and customers address cloud-specific responsibilities, but the commercial certification route is normally ISO/IEC 27001, with ISO/IEC 27017 controls included in the ISMS scope and assessment evidence.
The 2026 edition is written for both cloud service providers and cloud service customers. A useful implementation therefore begins by defining each party's responsibilities, the cloud services in scope and the evidence available across the service chain.
Organisations commonly use the controls within an ISO/IEC 27001-certified ISMS. A customer, tender or assurance programme may also ask for an assessment statement or evidence that relevant ISO/IEC 27017 controls have been implemented. The exact deliverable must be agreed before work starts.
For the certifiable management-system route, review ISO 27001 certification.
Critical: Only certificates issued by IAF-accredited bodies are genuinely valid for GeM, CPPP, and international procurement. India has thousands of fraudulent ISO bodies selling unaccredited certificates that are regularly rejected by compliance teams. London Cert is IAF-accredited.
Document which security activities belong to the provider, the customer and any subcontractor. The responsibility matrix should cover configuration, identity, logging, backup, incident response, vulnerability management, data return and secure deletion.
Control administrative interfaces, privileged accounts, remote access and separation of duties. Evidence should show approval, authentication, logging, periodic review and prompt removal of access.
Assess isolation, hardening, image management, network segregation and change control for virtual machines, containers and orchestration platforms.
Agree what is logged, who monitors it, how alerts are shared and how the provider and customer coordinate investigation, containment, notification and recovery.
Define data location, backup, retention, return, portability and deletion arrangements. Cloud contracts and operating procedures should match the implemented controls.
1. Define the cloud services, regions, platforms, data and legal entities in scope.
2. Identify provider, customer and shared responsibilities for each relevant control.
3. Complete an information security risk assessment covering cloud-specific threats and dependencies.
4. Map selected controls into the ISO/IEC 27001 Statement of Applicability and supporting procedures.
5. Collect technical, contractual and operational evidence from providers and internal teams.
6. Remediate control gaps and verify implementation through testing, interviews and record review.
7. Use the completed evidence within the ISO/IEC 27001 audit or agreed assurance engagement.
The quotation should separate ISO/IEC 27001 certification activity from ISO/IEC 27017 implementation or control-assessment support. Do not promise a fixed completion period until scope and readiness have been reviewed.
Organisations processing personal data in public clouds should also review ISO 27018 cloud privacy controls.
London Cert can help define the correct commercial route before a proposal is issued. The first step is to establish whether the organisation needs ISO/IEC 27001 certification, a cloud-control gap assessment, implementation support or evidence for a specific customer requirement.
The scope and deliverable should be documented clearly so the buyer understands what will be assessed, what evidence will be produced and what is not being presented as a standalone accredited certificate.
It is the current ISO/IEC standard providing information security controls and implementation guidance for cloud service providers and cloud service customers.
Yes. ISO lists ISO/IEC 27017:2015 as withdrawn and ISO/IEC 27017:2026 as the current published edition.
Yes. It addresses both sides of the cloud relationship and is especially useful for clarifying shared responsibilities.
It covers information security for cloud services. ISO/IEC 27018 provides additional guidance for protecting PII in public clouds when the provider acts as a PII processor.
The main factors are cloud scope, number of services and providers, regions, data sensitivity, technical complexity and the maturity of the existing ISMS.
Prepare architecture and data-flow diagrams, a responsibility matrix, risk records, control mappings, access evidence, monitoring records, supplier assurance and incident or recovery evidence.
Tell London Cert which cloud services, customers, contracts and certification goals are driving the project. The team can scope the appropriate ISO/IEC 27001 certification and ISO/IEC 27017 control work without presenting the guidance standard as a standalone certificate.

Why we don't publish exact prices: ISO/IEC 27017:2026 Cloud Security Controls certification cost depends on your specific company size, number of locations, number of employees, industry, and documentation complexity. A fixed published price would either overcharge small businesses or undercharge complex ones. Contact us for a personalised, binding quote within 24 hours — specific to your business.
More employees = more audit time. Audit duration is directly tied to your employee count and the scope of operations being certified.
Each additional location may require separate or extended audit time. Multi-site certifications are priced accordingly — contact us to discuss.
Simple service businesses have fewer process documents than complex manufacturing operations. Documentation scope directly affects cost.
If you already have some quality management processes documented, less preparation work is needed — which can reduce the overall cost.
Remote audits are available for all businesses and are typically more cost-effective. On-site audits are available for clients who need or prefer physical presence.
Most certification companies require you to hire a separate consultant to prepare documentation — and then pay the certification company for the audit on top. London Cert does both. This integrated approach saves time and significantly reduces total cost.
