Specification for multi-tiered cloud computing security (MTCS) - Lead Auditor & Lead Implementer Training

Cloud computing offers great potential in reducing cost and increasing flexibility to the enterprise. However, the Cloud Service subscribers cannot always make informed, risk-based decisions relating to the adoption of Cloud Services.

The Singapore Standard SS 584: 2015 Specification for multi-tiered cloud computing security, commonly known as MTCS, is the world’s first cloud security standard that covers multiple tiers of cloud security developed under the Information Technology Standards Committee (ITSC) for Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) in Singapore. The standard builds on recognized international standard, such as ISO 27001, with the added enhancement to provide Cloud Service Users with a mechanism to benchmark and tier the capabilities of Cloud Service Providers against a set of minimum baseline security requirements. This benefits the Cloud Service Users by providing assurance to the users that the provider meets accepted minimum baseline security requirements for each tier. Cloud Service Providers benefit from having a mechanism to demonstrate the security of their offerings.
