MTCS
MTCS is based on ISO 27001/02 Information Security Management System standards. The certification was prepared by the Multi-Tiered Cloud Security Working Group of the Cloud Computing Standards Coordinating Task Force. It was overseen by the Information Technology Standards Committee (ITSC).
Why do you need to adopt Multi-Tier Cloud Security?
The Multi-Tier Cloud Security (MTCS) is the pioneering security standard globally that entails cloud security at several layers. The MTCS standard encourages adoption of cloud computing through the spectrum of various industries by providing detailed security service levels of Cloud Service Providers. Level 1 being the base and Level 3 being the most stringent, it is designed for companies with regulatory compliance requirements that addresses security risks to high impact IT systems using cloud services.
With the controls already in place, there might be few Industry specific regulations applied to supplement and address security risks and threats in high impact information systems using cloud services.
MTCS has a self-disclosure requirement, which means that providers are obliged to report on data retention, data sovereignty, data portability, liability, availability, business continuity, disaster recovery and incident management.
