7 Summary Most of the security standards are mature and accepted by the market, except Requirement of IdM in Cloud Computing Significant number of cloud security best practices and related documents are publicly available, yet few tailored for the local environment Although different organizations have different cloud security framework, the basic components are similar 7

8 Potential Focus Areas of the Working Group Development of cloud security best practices, guidelines or standards d that are tailored df for the local l environment. For example, a best practices guide on cloud security and privacy of public cloud for local SMEs. Participation in the development of security standards that t not yet available or being developed d but not yet t approved or accepted by the market. For example, Identity and Access Management standards. Identification of cloud security framework components that the Working Group would pay more attention to. For example, Compliance and Audit. 8

9 Objectives of Cloud Security Standards Create a common, shared and consistent language/terminology in describing security controls Provide an open and fair framework for industry level compliance Enable cloud users to compare different cloud offerings off erings Encourage cloud service providers to invest in IT security controls Lower overall risk and cost for Hong Kong industry to adopt cloud computing 9
