ISO 27017:2015 CLD.9.5.2: Virtual machine hardening

Objective CLD.9.5 applies. Control, in substance: cloud virtual machines are to be hardened to the degree the business requires. Cloud service customer and provider (the same guidance for both): when configuring virtual machines, ensure that appropriate aspects are hardened, for example enabling only the ports, protocols and services needed, and that appropriate technical measures such as anti-malware and logging are in place for each virtual machine used.
