Scope and applicability

Cloud-specific security control guidance and assessment

Generally voluntary, it may support contracts and supply-chain requirements. Distinguish the guidance standard from a body's certification or verification scheme and confirm the 2026 edition and recognized scope.

Korean certification schemes and international standards are different. A translated guide does not extend a Korean certificate to other countries. Confirm the target market, product classification and current requirements with the relevant body.

Who this is for

  • Cloud customers managing shared responsibilities
  • Teams extending an existing ISMS
