ISO 27001 is the global information security standard. Cloud migration creates new control requirements. This guide covers what changes when you move to cloud and how to maintain compliance.

Cloud providers hold their own ISO 27001 (AWS, Azure, GCP all certified). But that covers THEIR infrastructure, not YOUR configuration. Your cloud config controls — access, encryption, logging, change management — remain YOUR responsibility.
A.9 Access Control: Cloud IAM, MFA, role separation. A.10 Cryptography: Encryption at rest/transit, Key Vault/KMS. A.12 Operations: Cloud-native monitoring, patch management, vulnerability scanning. A.13 Communications: Network segmentation, ExpressRoute/Direct Connect. A.17 BCM: Multi-region replication, automated failover.
No cloud-native CSPM, insufficient logging (cloud generates 10-100x more log data), identity federation not implemented, encryption policies not extended to cloud storage, incident response not updated for cloud.
Phase 1 (Wks 1-4): Extend ISMS scope, asset inventory, enable CSPM. Phase 2 (Wks 5-12): Implement A.9-A.18 cloud controls, update policies. Phase 3 (Wks 13-20): Internal audit, remediate. Phase 4: External certification audit.
TCOIQ security assessment maps cloud environment against ISO 27001 controls — identifies which of 114 controls are implemented, gaps with severity, and produces remediation roadmap. Gap analysis from weeks to minutes.
