In the annual Flexera State of the Cloud report, security has long been named the top cloud challenge for organizations of all sizes. Does the hosting provider have adequate security controls? Does the provider meet regulatory requirements? SECURITY CERTIFICATIONS OFFER CONFIDENCE Certifications offer a reliable benchmark that organizations can use when evaluating cloud and hosting providers. To obtain SOC 2 Type 2 certification, for example, a service provider must have security controls based upon the five “trust principles” of security, availability, processing integrity, privacy and confidentiality. The MSPAlliance Cloud Verify Program is based on the 10 control objectives of the Unified Certification Standard for cloud and managed service providers (MSPs). Both certifications must be documented and validated by an independent auditor.
