KineticSkunk today confirmed certification to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 (five years) and its extension ISO/IEC 27017:2015, signalling a security-first approach to cloud delivery and governance. The certifications validate an enterprise information security management system (ISMS) and cloud-specific controls that clarify shared responsibilities across people, process and technology.
What this means for customers
- Proven framework: ISO/IEC 27001:2022 ensures confidentiality, integrity and availability are managed systematically across the organisation.
- Cloud controls by design: The extension ISO/IEC 27017:2015 adds guidance for cloud workloads, which covers asset management, logging/traceability and control design.
- Risk management you can trust: Risks are identified, assessed and treated continuously and tested through an accredited audit process.
- Independent verification: Certifications were issued by an accredited body and can be verified via the International Accreditation Forum (IAF).
- Customer confidence: Globally recognised standards demonstrate that security is embedded in day-to-day practice, not just policy.
What the ISO 27017 extension means
- Cloud-specific controls by design: Practical guidance for securing cloud services and clarifying shared responsibilities between provider and customer (eg, asset management, logging/traceability, access control patterns for cloud).
- Built on ISO 27001: The extension sits on a certified ISMS that manages confidentiality, integrity and availability across people, process and technology.
- Independent verification: Issued by an accredited certification body and verifiable via the International Accreditation Forum (IAF).
- Customer assurance: Stronger, evidence-based cloud governance for migrations, day-to-day operations and continuous improvement.
Why this matters for cloud projects
For fintechs and regulated teams, ISO 27017 helps ensure that cloud controls are explicit, tested and auditable, from encryption and identity to logging, monitoring and operational handoffs so resilience, compliance and cost discipline are baked in from day one.
