Define provider vs customer responsibilities in the agreement, strengthen virtualization and multi-tenancy security, document data location and jurisdictions, and build an evidence pack that supports audits and customer assurance. This is practical implementation guidance, not legal advice. Validate final decisions against primary sources and your operating context. [Jump to guides](#topics) ## What this artifact helps you do - **Define shared responsibility**: Turn provider-versus-customer ambiguity into a responsibility matrix and contract language that teams can operate. - **Implement cloud-specific controls**: Apply ISO/IEC 27017 guidance on multi-tenancy, virtualization, admin operations, logging, and data lifecycle controls. - **Build audit-ready evidence**: Collect the artifacts auditors and customers ask for: agreements, disclosures, procedures, logs, tests, and review records. By Sorena AI | Updated 2026 | No signup required ### Quick start *ISO 27017* - **Shared responsibility model**: A practical matrix for IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, grounded in the requirement to agree and document roles and responsibilities. - **Cloud provider checklist**: Due diligence questions + evidence to request from CSPs and vendors. - **ISO 27001 mapping**: How to map ISO 27017 guidance and cloud-specific control themes into an ISO 27001 Statement of Applicability. ISO 27017 succeeds when roles, evidence, and cloud-specific operating controls are explicit. These guides focus on that reality. | Value | Metric | | --- | --- | | 5 | Guides | | Cloud | Focused | | Provider | Customer | | Evidence | Ready | **Key highlights:** Define responsibilities | Harden multi-tenancy | Prove with evidence ## Topic Guides - [ISO 27017 Cloud Provider Checklist (Due Diligence + Evidence)](/artifacts/global/iso-27017/cloud-provider-checklist.md): ISO/IEC 27017 cloud provider checklist for due diligence: what to ask, what evidence to request. - [ISO 27017 Compliance (Cloud Controls Implementation Playbook)](/artifacts/global/iso-27017/compliance.md): A practical ISO/IEC 27017 compliance playbook for cloud security controls: scope, shared responsibility, cloud-specific control implementation. - [ISO 27017 Control Mapping to ISO 27001 (SoA + Evidence)](/artifacts/global/iso-27017/control-mapping-to-iso-27001.md): How to map ISO/IEC 27017 cloud security guidance to an ISO/IEC 27001 ISMS: Statement of Applicability, control owners, shared responsibility. - [ISO 27017 FAQ (Cloud Security Controls, Audit, and Evidence)](/artifacts/global/iso-27017/faq.md): Frequently asked questions about ISO/IEC 27017: what it is, how it relates to ISO 27001 and ISO 27002, shared responsibility in cloud security. - [ISO 27017 Shared Responsibility Model (Provider vs Customer)](/artifacts/global/iso-27017/shared-responsibility-model.md): A practical ISO/IEC 27017 shared responsibility model for cloud services: who owns which security responsibilities in IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS. ## Explore ISO 27017 guides *Guides* Use these subpages for implementation deep dives: compliance, provider checklist, shared responsibility, ISO 27001 mapping, and FAQ. ## How to run cloud security controls that work *Navigation* ISO/IEC 27017 is practical when you translate cloud-sector guidance into owned controls, contract language, and evidence. Use these guides to build an operating model that providers and customers can both explain and audit. *Next step* ## Turn ISO/IEC 27017 Cloud security controls implementation hub into an operational assessment workflow ISO/IEC 27017 Cloud security controls implementation hub should be the shared entry point for your team. Route execution into Assessment Autopilot for live work and into SSOT when the artifact needs deeper research, evidence governance, or supporting analysis. - Start from ISO/IEC 27017 Cloud security controls implementation hub and route the work by entity, product, team, or control owner. - Use Assessment Autopilot to turn the guidance into owned tasks, evidence requests, and review checkpoints. - Use SSOT to keep documents, evidence, and control records in one governed system. - Move from artifact reading to accountable execution without rebuilding the guidance in separate files. - [Open Assessment Autopilot](/solutions/assessment.md): Turn the guidance into owned tasks, evidence requests, and review checkpoints for ISO/IEC 27017 Cloud security controls implementation hub. - [Open SSOT](/solutions/ssot.md): Keep documents, evidence, and control records in one governed system from the same artifact. - [Talk through ISO/IEC 27017 Cloud security controls implementation hub](/contact.md): Review your current process, evidence model, and next steps for ISO/IEC 27017 Cloud security controls implementation hub. --- [Privacy Policy](https://www.sorena.io/privacy) | [Terms of Use](https://www.sorena.io/terms-of-use) | [DMCA](https://www.sorena.io/dmca) | [About Us](https://www.sorena.io/about-us) (c) 2026 Sorena AB (559573-7338).
