ISO/IEC 27017:2015 · Evidence & Implementation Kit
Your ISO 27001 covers the ISMS. ISO 27017 is what an auditor asks for once your data lives in the cloud.
Every ISO 27017 control handed to you as an adopt-ready document, with the customer and provider responsibilities separated, the exact evidence your auditor examines, and the finding they most often raise. You personalize it, split the responsibilities per service, and you are ready.
Cloud audit-ready in a weekend, not a quarter.
Here is the honest situation. ISO/IEC 27017 is the cloud extension to ISO 27001, and it is where cloud audits actually fail. It adds cloud-specific implementation guidance to 37 of your existing ISO 27002 controls and introduces 7 new controls that exist only in the cloud, covering shared responsibility, virtual machine hardening, segregation of tenants, and monitoring of cloud services. The hard part is producing the evidence: a shared-responsibility matrix per provider, hardening baselines, privileged cloud access reviews, cloud logging with defined retention, all mapped to what an assessor examines. A consultant charges twenty to fifty thousand dollars. Doing it yourself is weeks while your certificate and your enterprise deals wait.
This Kit removes the build. It is the complete ISO 27017:2015 control set and evidence guide, written for cloud, that you personalize in a weekend.

1
Gap & Readiness Assessment. Score each control and the workbook tells you your readiness as a single percentage, and exactly what to fix next.

This sits on top of ISO 27001, it does not replace it
ISO 27017 is certified as an extension to ISO 27001. These controls are an overlay on your Statement of Applicability, not a separate system. The 7 new CLD controls are where most cloud findings land, so the Kit puts them first and shows the shared-responsibility boundary that moves between IaaS, PaaS and SaaS.
What one control looks like
This is CLD.6.3.1, Shared roles and responsibilities, the anchor of the whole standard. All 44 are built to this depth.
CLD.6.3.1 Shared roles and responsibilities within a cloud computing environment NEW CLOUD CONTROL
Adopt this control
[Organization] shall document, agree, communicate and implement the allocation of shared information security roles and responsibilities for every cloud service it uses. The [cloud service provider] shall publish its security capabilities and the responsibilities it retains, and [Organization] as cloud service customer shall extend its own policies to cover the responsibilities it must manage, mapped to the applicable service model of IaaS, PaaS or SaaS.
Cloud specifics
The division of duties shifts with the service model, so responsibilities a provider owns under SaaS become the customer's under IaaS and must be reallocated per service.
Evidence your auditor examines
- The shared-responsibility matrix agreed with each cloud service provider, broken down by service model
- Provider capability and responsibility statements on file
- Your policies extended to cover customer-side cloud responsibilities
- Sign-off confirming no responsibility gaps remain
Common finding they raise: no documented shared-responsibility matrix, leaving customer-side duties like access management and configuration assumed to be the provider's job.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. Generic templates give you a cloud policy. This tells you exactly what an assessor examines and the finding they raise, for every control. That is what passes a cloud audit.
- Written for the shared-responsibility model. Every control separates what you own from what your provider owns, across IaaS, PaaS and SaaS.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. ISO 27017 overlays ISO 27001 and ISO 27002, so the work you do here strengthens your core ISMS and your privacy posture under ISO 27018.
Who buys this
Cloud service customers hardening their tenancy, cloud providers preparing for attestation, and the security and compliance leads who own the ISMS and answer the cloud questions in enterprise procurement. Whether it is your first ISO 27017 extension or a surveillance audit, you save weeks and walk in with the shared-responsibility matrix and evidence ready.
