By Nipto – Independent Cloud Security Auditors

Full Service Description

ISO/IEC 27017 provides cloud-specific security controls and implementation guidance aligned with ISO/IEC 27001. It addresses cloud governance, shared responsibility, data protection, virtualization security, and supplier oversight in cloud environments.

Nipto delivers independent ISO/IEC 27017 Internal Audit services to help organizations evaluate the effectiveness of cloud security controls and ensure readiness for certification, surveillance audits, and regulatory expectations.

Our audit approach is risk-based and evidence-driven. We assess cloud deployments across IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS environments, focusing on governance, technical controls, operational security, and contractual responsibilities between cloud service providers and customers.

The engagement provides clear, prioritized findings that enable management to strengthen cloud governance, reduce misconfiguration risks, and enhance overall cloud security maturity.
