ISO 27017:2015 CLD.9.5.1: Segregation in virtual computing environments

Objective CLD.9.5 (access control of customer data in shared virtual environments): reduce the security risk that comes from sharing a virtualised cloud environment. Control, in substance: each customer's virtual environment in the cloud service is to be shielded so that neither other tenants nor anyone unauthorised can reach it. Cloud service customer: no additional guidance. Cloud service provider: enforce appropriate logical segregation of customer data, virtualised applications, operating systems, storage and network, both to separate resources used by different customers in multi-tenant environments and to separate the provider's internal administration from resources used by customers; where the service involves multi-tenancy, implement controls ensuring proper isolation of resources used by different tenants, and consider the risks of running customer-supplied software within the services it offers. Other information: logical segregation depends on the virtualisation technology, for example virtualised network and storage configuration with software segregation functions, or access control on a metadata table where customer data shares physical storage; secure multi-tenancy and ISO/IEC 27040 guidance apply.
