What is Cloud Computing Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access
to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Networks, servers, storage, applications, and services that can be rapidly
provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
This cloud model promotes availability and is composed of five essential characteristics, three service models, and four deployment models.

What is Cloud Computing
The Unique Alternative to the Big Four®

Opportunities Cost savings – Customers pay for only the computing resources used. There
are no physical space requirements or utility costs. All dollars are expensed (that is, receive a U.S. tax benefit).
Speed of deployment – The time to fulfill requests for computing power and applications can change from months to weeks, weeks to days, and days to hours.
Scalability and better alignment of technology resources – Companies can scale up or down their capacity without capital expenditures.
Decreased effort in managing technology – Cloud computing provides the organization more time to focus on core purpose and goals; more consistent technology upgrades; and expedited fulfillment of IT resource requests.
Environmental benefits – Significant adoption of cloud computing should yield less overall power consumption, carbon emissions, and physical land use.

Risks Some of the typical risks associated with cloud computing are:
Disruptive force Residing in the same risk ecosystem as the cloud service provider (CSP) and other
tenants of the cloud Lack of transparency Reliability and performance issues Vendor lock-in and lack of application portability and interoperability Security and compliance concerns Creation of high-value cyber-attack targets Risk of data leakage IT organizational changes Viability of the CSP

Changes in the Operating Environment With Cloud Computing Risks and other cloud computing effects should be incorporated in ERM
programs. Organizations can engage cloud computing solutions while bypassing normal
management oversight controls. Cloud computing solutions are: a) easily adopted within a short period of time,
b) require a small monetary investment, and c) involve very few personnel.

Risk Levels – Shared Control Environment

Shared Control Environment Risk Profile Impact of CSPs and
fellow cloud tenants Using cloud computing converts an
organization’s internal environment into a combination of its own internal environment and the internal environment of the contracted CSP.
Why Both? Data and processes are hosted in a
shared environment with other cloud tenants.
Behavior and events of the CSP and fellow tenants could have a direct impact on the organization.

Cloud Governance Cloud governance” refers to the
controls and processes in place for cloud planning and strategy, vendor selection, contract negotiation, implementation, operation, monitoring and possible termination and transition of cloud services.

Third Party Risk Management Activities Vendor management activities performed should be based on risk associated
with the vendor In order to ensure the risks with outsourcing cloud services are properly
addressed organizations should consider performing the following activities: Review cloud provider’s policies and procedures Request cloud provider respond to internal control questionnaires Perform an onsite review of cloud provider operations Review a Service Organization Control (SOC) Report
Organizations can use SOC reports to obtain a level of comfort over a cloud provider’s controls related to security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality and privacy controls.

Service Organization Controls (SOC) Reports – Overview AICPA created separate reports on internal controls over financial reporting and
reports on other types of controls. The AICPA has added additional reporting options. The three reporting options
now are: SOC 1 SOC 2 SOC 3

Types of SOC Reports
SOC 1
• Internal controls related to financial reporting
SOC 2
• Trust Services Principles
• Restricted Use Report
SOC 3
• Trust Services Principles
• General use report

Who May Need to Issue a SOC 2 Report? Organizations that need to demonstrate how they process transactions and/or
data on behalf of their customers Organizations that need to demonstrate how their security controls operate Organizations that need to demonstrate how their controls related to system
availability function Organizations that need to demonstrate how their controls related to data privacy
or confidentiality operate
A Cloud Service Provider Fits These Characteristics!

Trust Services Principles
Security – The system is protected against unauthorized
access (both physical and logical).
Availability – The system is available for operation and use
as committed or agreed to.
Processing Integrity – System processing is complete,
accurate, timely, and authorized.
Confidentiality – Information designated as confidential is protected as committed or
agreed to.
Privacy – Personal information is collected, used, retained, disclosed, and destroyed in conformity with the commitments in the entity’s privacy notice and with criteria set forth in
generally accepted privacy principles (GAPP) issued by the AICPA and the
Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA).

The Unique Alternative to the Big Four®

Example Criteria and Illustrative Controls
Security Principle - Criteria 3.3 Procedures exist to restrict physical access to the defined system including, but not limited
to, facilities, backup media, and other system components such as firewalls, routers, and servers.
Illustrative Controls: Physical access to the computer rooms, which house the entity's IT resources, servers,
and related hardware such as firewalls and routers, is restricted to authorized individuals by card key systems and monitored by video surveillance.
Physical access cards are managed by building security staff. Access card usage is logged. Logs are maintained and reviewed by building security staff.
Requests for physical access privileges to the entity's computer facilities require the approval of the manager of computer operations.
Documented procedures exist for the identification and escalation of potential physical security breaches.
Offsite media are stored in locked containers in secured facilities. Physical access to these containers is restricted to facilities personnel and employees authorized by the manager of computer operations.

Example Criteria and Illustrative Controls
Security Principle - Criteria 3.4 Procedures exist to protect against unauthorized access to system resources.
Illustrative Controls: Login sessions are terminated after three unsuccessful login attempts. Virtual private
networking (VPN) software is used to permit remote access by authorized users. Users are authenticated by the VPN server through specific "client" software and user ID and passwords.
Firewalls are used and configured to prevent unauthorized access. Firewall events are logged and reviewed daily by the security administrator.
Unneeded network services (for example, telnet, ftp, and http) are deactivated on the entity's servers. A listing of the required and authorized services is maintained by the IT department. This list is reviewed by entity management on a routine basis for its appropriateness for the current operating conditions.
Intrusion detection systems are used to provide continuous monitoring of the entity's network and early identification of potential security breaches.
The entity contracts with third parties to conduct periodic security reviews and vulnerability assessments. Results and recommendations for improvement are reported to management.
