As cloud adoption pervades, one of the bigger security and privacy challenges for cloud service customers is having to relinquish a significant amount of control and ownership of their data and infrastructure to cloud service providers.

Every CSP will implement security differently and every cloud model will have varying degrees of security control ownership, which is why it might be difficult for them to meet all security requirements.

A cloud cybersecurity control framework provides a systematic approach to identifying, assessing, and mitigating security risks.

There are a number of different cloud cybersecurity control frameworks available, including the Cloud Controls Matrix proposed by the Cloud Security Alliance, the Information Security Forum's Standard of Good Practice, the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework, and the ISO/IEC 27002.

They help organizations maintain a record of cloud services, their usage, security controls and capabilities across on-premises, off-premises, private and public cloud.

No framework is perfect, so choose your cloud security framework carefully.
