CWA 16871-1:2015

CWA Recommendations for Assurance in Cloud Security (RACS) promotes recommendations on security assurance management in the context of auditing and certification of cloud-based services and systems. The recommendations in the present document have been collected from a number of EU research pioneer projects in cloud assurance and from RACS target different stakeholders (policy makers, industry and final users) interested in upcoming challenges concerning cloud security assurance. The focus of CWA RACS is mainly on the type of assurance and assessment activities that can be done without the physical presence of an auditor and at any point in time.
