About ISO/IEC 27017 Copilot
ISO/IEC 27017:2015 extends ISO/IEC 27002:2013 with cloud-specific implementation guidance and seven additional controls covering shared responsibilities, virtual environments, and cloud monitoring. ISMS Copilot helps you navigate both the cloud-specific guidance in the standard body and the CLD.* control set in Annex A.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ISO/IEC 27017?
ISO/IEC 27017:2015 is a code of practice that extends ISO/IEC 27002:2013 with cloud-specific implementation guidance and introduces seven additional controls (the CLD.* set in Annex A) covering areas unique to cloud computing, such as shared responsibilities, virtual environment segregation, and cloud service monitoring.
How does the ISO/IEC 27017 Copilot help?
The Copilot helps you interpret the standard's two-part structure — the cloud-specific guidance layered onto ISO 27002:2013 clauses 5–18 and the standalone CLD.* controls in Annex A — so you can identify what applies to your role as a cloud service customer or provider and work toward incorporating those controls into an ISO 27001 Statement of Applicability.
Can an organisation certify directly against ISO/IEC 27017?
ISO/IEC 27017 is not a standalone certification standard; conformance is typically demonstrated through an ISO 27001 certification where the CLD.* controls and cloud-specific guidance are included in the Statement of Applicability and the scope covers cloud services.
