CSA CCM vs ISO 27017 and ISO 27018: Cloud Standards Compared

Compare CSA Cloud Controls Matrix with ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 — how cloud providers and customers use each.

Published: September 2026 Compliance · CSA CCM 8–12 min read

Cloud assurance uses overlapping languages. CSA CCM is a control catalogue popular in STAR programmes; ISO 27017 and 27018 extend ISO 27002-style guidance for cloud security and cloud PII processors.

Most mature providers map all three rather than picking a single religion.

Buyer tip: Ask for a mapping, not a logo wall — which CCM domains and ISO controls cover your shared-responsibility gaps.

CSA CCM

Domain-based cloud control objectives used across STAR Level approaches and questionnaires (CAIQ). Strong for cloud-native shared responsibility discussions.

ISO 27017 / 27018

27017 clarifies cloud security roles; 27018 focuses on PII protection for public cloud processors. Often pursued as ISO extensions beside 27001.

Using them together

Maintain one control library with tags for CCM domains and ISO clauses; collect evidence once.
