INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR CLOUD IMPLEMENTATION

 INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS FOR CLOUD IMPLEMENTATION

International standards play an important role in guiding organizations toward best practices and ensuring interoperability and compatibility across borders.

Some key international standards relevant to cloud implementation:

 

1. ISO/IEC 17788:2014: This standard provides definitions and concepts for cloud computing, serving as a foundational framework for understanding cloud computing terminology, service models, and deployment models.

 

2. ISO/IEC 17789:2014: Complementary to ISO/IEC 17788, this standard focuses on cloud computing reference architecture, providing guidance on the structure and components of cloud computing environments.

 

3. ISO/IEC 19086-1:2016: Part of the ISO/IEC 19086 series, this standard specifies cloud services and deployment models, offering guidance on selecting appropriate cloud services and deployment options based on organizational needs and requirements.

 

4. ISO/IEC 19941:2017: This standard focuses on service level agreement (SLA) frameworks for cloud computing, providing guidelines for defining, negotiating, and managing SLAs between cloud service providers and consumers.

 

5. ISO/IEC 27017:2015: Building upon ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management System) and ISO/IEC 27002 (Code of Practice for information security controls), this standard offers guidelines and controls specific to information security in cloud computing environments.

 

6. ISO/IEC 27018:2019: This standard focuses on the protection of personally identifiable information (PII) in public cloud computing environments, providing guidance for cloud service providers on handling PII and addressing privacy concerns.

 

7. ISO/IEC 27036-4:2016: Part of the ISO/IEC 27036 series, this standard offers guidance on information security for supplier relationships, including considerations for managing security risks associated with cloud service providers and third-party suppliers.

 

8. ISO/IEC 38500:2015: This standard provides principles and guidelines for corporate governance of information technology, including cloud computing governance, emphasizing the importance of aligning IT with organizational objectives and ensuring accountability and transparency in decision-making.

 

9. ISO/IEC 30141:2018: Known as the "Internet of Things (IoT) Reference Architecture," this standard offers guidance on the architecture and interoperability of IoT systems, including considerations for integrating IoT with cloud computing environments.

 

10. ISO/IEC 30182:2017: This standard focuses on interoperability and data exchange between cloud computing environments, providing guidelines for ensuring compatibility and seamless integration across different cloud platforms and services.
