Enhancing Cloud Security with a Trusted Multi-Tiered Certification

The Multi-Tiered Cloud Security (MTCS) Singapore Standard (SS 584:2015) is the world’s first cloud security standard.

This standard covers multiple tiers of cloud security

It aims to encourage the adoption of sound risk management and security practices for cloud computing.

MTCS prescribes cloud computing security practices and controls, applied to cloud users and Cloud Service Providers (CSPs), to strengthen governance, reliability and resilience of cloud security. MTCS serves the needs of differing cloud users for data sensitivity and business criticality. As cloud computing resources are shared across public sector organizations and private companies, in various locations and within diversity of information security maturity levels, risks have emerged of unsanctioned access to sensitive data.

The Benefits

MTCS certification helps CSPs structure disclosure clauses in service level agreements with end-user contracts.

Level 1 – For non-business critical data and systems, with baseline security controls.
Level 2 – For organizations running critical data and systems through stringent security controls.
Level 3 – For regulated organizations with specific requirements on high impact risks and threats.
