Frequently asked questions

Is this certificate IAF-accredited?

No. This certificate is issued by a non-IAF-accredited certification body (such as IAS, UAF or ASCB). An IAF-accredited certificate requires a body accredited by a national accreditation body under the IAF framework — a different and costlier certification path. The non-IAF certificate is valid for the same period and accepted by most domestic buyers and government authorities in India.

What is ISO/IEC 27017:2015 certification?

ISO/IEC 27017:2015 provides guidelines for information security controls applicable to the protection of information in cloud computing. It pairs with ISO 27001 and offers cloud customer and cloud provider specific controls.

How long does ISO 27017 certification take in India?

With a live ISO 27001 ISMS, certification is achieved in 14-30 days via non-IAF accredited bodies such as IAS, UAF and ASCB. First-time applicants need 2-4 months for cloud ISMS implementation before audit.

Is this Non-IAF accredited?

Yes. This is a non-IAF mark issued by accredited CBs including IAS, UAF, ASCB and others. Global cloud buyers widely accept non-IAF marks with body accreditation.

What is the validity of an ISO 27017 certificate?

Validity is 3 years from issue, subject to annual surveillance audits and a re-certification audit at the end of year 3.

Is ISO 27001 sufficient for cloud customers?

No. ISO 27001 covers general ISMS while ISO 27017 adds cloud-specific controls for shared responsibility, tenant isolation and key management. Customers increasingly require both.

Does ISO 27017 replace SOC 2?

No. SOC 2 Type II is an attestation under AICPA Trust Services Criteria. ISO 27017 is a certifiable standard. Many cloud providers pursue both as complementary.

Does ISO 27017 apply to all cloud service models?

Yes. ISO 27017 applies to IaaS, PaaS and SaaS models. The shared responsibility matrix clarifies which controls apply to the CSP vs the customer in each model.

What is the cost of ISO 27017 in India?

Non-IAF ISO 27017 in Gujarat starts from ₹14,999 with annual surveillance at ₹6,999. Final cost depends on cloud scope, regions and number of tenants.

About this service

Cloud security controls (ISO 27017:2015) extend ISO 27001's ISMS to the specific risks of cloud computing — shared responsibility models, virtual machine isolation, cloud-specific threat vectors. For managed service providers and cloud hosting companies operating from Gujarat's industrial zone data centres, and for enterprises in GIFT City using Infrastructure-as-a-Service or SaaS products, ISO 27017 provides a checklist of 17 cloud-specific controls beyond the standard ISO 27001 Annex A. RBI's outsourcing guidelines for banks require financial technology vendors to have documented cloud security controls; ISO 27017 is accepted as evidence of due diligence. For IT companies in the Ahmedabad GIDC cluster providing SaaS or cloud services to government PSUs, ISO 27017 demonstrates that your cloud infrastructure meets the security expectations of public sector procurement. FinTax24 helps cloud providers and enterprise cloud adopters in Gujarat assess and implement the ISO 27017 control set within an existing or new ISO 27001 ISMS framework.
