If you are a cloud security lead or compliance officer at a financial institution, this playbook was built for you.
Financial institutions face increasing regulatory scrutiny when migrating core banking systems to public cloud environments. You are expected to maintain the same level of control rigor as on-premises infrastructure while adapting to dynamic cloud architectures from providers like AWS and Azure. Demonstrating compliance with both ISO/IEC 27017 and PCI DSS across cloud workloads requires precise mapping of responsibilities, documented control implementation, and auditable evidence trails. Without a structured approach, teams risk control gaps, audit findings, and operational delays during cloud adoption initiatives.
Traditional alternatives are costly and slow. Engaging a Big-4 consultancy to develop a custom cloud security governance framework typically costs between EUR 80,000 and EUR 250,000. Alternatively, assigning internal resources would require 3 full-time engineers or compliance analysts working for 4 to 6 months to research, draft, test, and validate controls across AWS and Azure environments. This playbook delivers the same outcome for $395 , a fully documented, field-tested implementation framework ready for deployment.

Domain assessments
Each of the seven domain assessments contains 30 targeted questions designed to evaluate current state alignment with ISO/IEC 27017 and identify implementation gaps in cloud environments:
- Cloud Access Management: Evaluates identity lifecycle controls, role-based access, just-in-time provisioning, and privileged account monitoring in AWS IAM and Azure Entra ID.
- Data Protection in Transit and at Rest: Assesses encryption standards, key management practices, and data classification policies applied to cloud storage and databases.
- Shared Responsibility Model Alignment: Verifies that responsibilities between the financial institution and cloud provider are clearly defined and documented per service type.
- Virtual Network Configuration: Reviews AWS VPC and Azure Virtual Network designs for segmentation, firewall rules, flow logging, and DNS security.
- Incident Response and Logging: Tests the presence of cloud-native monitoring, alerting, log retention, and integration with SIEM systems.
- Change and Configuration Management: Examines processes for tracking infrastructure-as-code deployments, configuration drift detection, and approval workflows.
- Third-Party Risk and Vendor Oversight: Checks contractual obligations, audit rights, and security assurance documentation for cloud provider services.
