Harmonize cloud security procedures with SS 584 Multi Tier Cloud Security Standard (MTCS)

In recent years, cloud computing has grown to become one of the fastest growing segments of the IT industry. Nowadays, companies of all sizes are beginning to understand the potential benefits of cloud computing technology.

However, concerns about cloud security of IT infrastructure remains, as cloud security standard, is still an uncharted territory. Therefore, the cloud computing industry and service providers need to harmonize their cloud security standards and procedures, in order to penetrate the enterprise market, and to harness as much potential as possible.

In order to help businesses understand cloud security standard provided by different cloud service providers (CSPs), the SS 584, which is the Multi Tier Cloud Security Standard for Singapore (MTCS SS), was introduced, and is the world’s first cloud security standard that covers multiple tiers.

Tier 1:
Designed for non-business critical data and systems with basic security control, that address security risks and threats targeting low-impact information systems. (e.g.: Web site hosting public information)

Tier 2:
Designed for organizations that use cloud services to protect business or personal information, and run critical business data and systems in a moderate impact information systems. CSPs in this tier have more stringent security controls (e.g.: Email / CRM – Customer relation management systems)

Tier 3:
Designed for companies with specific needs and more stringent security requirements. Industry specific regulations may also be applied, to supplement and address security risks and threats, in a high impact information systems using cloud services (for example but not limited to: Financial / Medical records)
