ISO 22123 Cloud Computing Security Framework Testing
The ISO/IEC 27046:2012 framework, including its addendum ISO 22123, is a comprehensive standard that establishes the requirements for security controls and measures to ensure secure cloud computing environments. This service focuses on validating compliance with these standards through rigorous testing procedures.
The ISO/IEC 27046:2012 framework aims at ensuring data security, integrity, confidentiality, and availability in cloud-based services. Compliance with this framework can help organizations meet regulatory requirements such as GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS. The specific focus of ISO 22123 is on the security controls that are critical for cloud computing environments.
Our testing service involves a detailed assessment of cloud infrastructure to ensure it meets all the stringent requirements laid out in this framework. This includes evaluating identity management systems, access control mechanisms, data protection measures, and compliance with regulatory standards. The testing process is designed to identify vulnerabilities that could potentially compromise security and provide recommendations for remediation.
Our team of experts uses advanced methodologies and tools to conduct these tests. We employ a combination of automated scanning tools and manual assessments to ensure thorough coverage. Our approach ensures that no area of the cloud environment is overlooked, providing organizations with complete assurance that their systems are secure.
| Test Phases | Scope |
|---|---|
| Preparation and Planning | Identification of relevant controls, risk assessment. |
| Scanning and Detection | Automated identification of vulnerabilities using industry-standard tools. |
| Manual Assessment | In-depth evaluation to identify potential risks not detected by automated means. |
