Aligning Cloud Architectures with ISO 27001 Controls

Introduction

ISO 27001 is the international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). Aligning your cloud architecture is critical for winning enterprise work.

Mapping Controls to Cloud Resources

• Access Control (A.9): Enforce Entra ID SSO and MFA.
• Cryptography (A.10): Force TLS 1.3 in transit and encrypt databases at rest.
• Physical & Environmental Security (A.11): Inherited automatically from AWS/Azure datacentre compliance certifications.

Continuous Compliance

Regular auditing of IAM permissions and automated vulnerability scanning keeps systems aligned.
