ISO 27001:2022 5.23: Information security for use of cloud services

Processes for buying, using, managing and leaving cloud services are to be set up so that they satisfy what the organization requires for information security. Purpose (stated in ISO/IEC 27002:2022): specifies and manages information security for the organization's use of cloud services. As an Annex A reference control, it is compared with the controls determined in risk treatment (6.1.3 c) and recorded in the Statement of Applicability as included or excluded, with the justification and implementation status (6.1.3 d); implementation guidance is ISO/IEC 27002:2022 5.23.
