ENISA listet EuroCloud Star Audit

31. Jänner 2014, 13:59 – Die ENISA (European Union Agency for Network and Information Security) nennte die uroCloud Zertifizierung neben den ISO Standards als relevantes Zertifizierungsschema für sämtliche Cloud Services.

Before buying a cloud service, customers want to know if the service is secure and reliable. But cloud computing services are complex and built up from many different ICT components (cables, large data centers, software, et cetera), so it is not really feasible for customers to check all the technical details by themselves. In a cloud certification scheme one fixed set of security requirements is checked, once for all customers.

In this way a certification can simplify the procurement of cloud services by customers. Cloud Certification Schemes List (CCSL) gives an overview of the different existing certification schemes which could be relevant for cloud computing customers. CCSL also shows which are the main characteristics of each certification scheme. For example, which are the underlying standards, who can perform the certifications, who audits the cloud services. CCSL also provides links and references to each certification schemes for further reading.
