Benefits Of Cloud Security
Benefits:
Inspires trust on the business as customers have greater reassurance to customers and stakeholders
It provides the competitive advantage to the organization - robust controls are in place to protect data
Helps grow business - provides common guidelines across different countries making it easier to do business globally
Streamlined global operations - Because ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 guidelines are universal, conformance makes it easier for cloud service providers to participate in the global market place and for customers to sign international contracts.
Offering and adopting cloud can still cause misunderstanding. Any organization entrusting sensitive customer data to third part has to know that there are grey areas where rights and responsibilities have not been clearly defined.
There is a lot that has been taken on trust and that is not necessarily the best long term approach for success - especially when ISO/IEC 27017 now makes responsibilities crystal clear.
