HUAWEI CLOUD Becomes the World's First to Obtain Both ISO/IEC 27034 and CSA STAR 2021 Certifications
Nov 29, 2021
HUAWEI CLOUD was awarded the ISO/IEC 27034 application security standard certification and CSA STAR 2021 Gold Certification by the British Standards Institution (BSI), making HUAWEI CLOUD the world's first cloud service provider to have earned both certifications. These certifications have been granted to all the availability zones (AZs) of HUAWEI CLOUD around the world.
What Is ISO/IEC 27034?
ISO/IEC 27034 is the first ISO standard for secure programs and frameworks. It clearly defines risks in application systems and provides guidance to assist organizations in integrating security into their processes. ISO/IEC 27034 provides a way for organizations to verify their own product security and make security a competitive edge. This standard also outlines a compliance framework at the application layer for global cloud service providers, promoting the security of the R&D process, applications, and the cloud.
What Is CSA STAR 2021 Gold Certification?
The Cloud Security Alliance Security, Trust, Assurance, and Risk (CSA STAR) assessment is an authoritative international assessment performed by BSI and CSA to address specific issues related to cloud security. Based on the ISO/IEC 27001 standard and the Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM), CSA STAR uses the maturity model and assessment methods provided by BSI to comprehensively assess the cloud security management and technical capabilities of organizations.
CSA largely updated the CCM this year, which now consists of 17 domains and 197 control objectives. Requirements for new cloud computing technologies, control methods, and security responsibility matrix were added, accountability of control items was improved, and interoperability and compatibility with other standards were enhanced. HUAWEI CLOUD earned the CSA STAR 2021 Gold Certification after several rounds of strict review.
