*Abstract*<br>
<br>
Audits and certificates can help to evaluate and proof cloud infrastructures
and ecosystems according to specific compliance catalogues. Subjects of
cloud audits are typically the quality of processes and services, the level
of security and data protection as well as other standardised checklists.
Examples such as the EuroCloud Star Audit are based on CSA CCM, ISO 27001/27017,
and ISAE 3000/ ISAE3402.<br>
<br>
Current certification processes, conducted once a year or even only every
two years, however, are only partly adjusted to the characteristics and
needs of cloud ecosystems. The challenge is to specify new approaches,
processes, and controls in order to reflect the flexibility, dynamics and
on demand nature of clouds. Heading for dynamic certification means getting
the current status of a cloud ecosystem on demand reflecting compliance
rules based for instance on the standards above. A typical question from
cloud customers nowadays: “Is the cloud service continuously operating
compliant to local data protection laws?”<br>
<br>
The goal of this workshop is (1) bringing together science, industry, administration
and standardisation and (2) elaborating how (abstract) requirements from
standards, legislations, and policies can be boiled down to technical means
that can be monitored, aggregated, and analysed in a highly dynamic cloud
environment in a (half-)automated way.<br>
