Can my organization become ISO/IEC 27017-certified automatically by using Huawei Cloud?
Although Huawei Cloud has earned ISO/IEC 27017 certification and provides you with secure and reliable cloud services on this basis, using services provided by Huawei Cloud does not certify your organization's compliance with ISO/IEC 27017. ISO/IEC 27017 certification requires us to establish, implement, maintain, and continuously improve the cloud-based information security management system of our organizations based on the ISO/IEC 27017 guidelines, standards, and best practices. To assess your own system and get your organization certified, you can invite an independent third-party certifying body.
