As organizations increasingly migrate to cloud and multi-cloud infrastructures, cloud auditing has emerged as a critical discipline that bridges traditional compliance expectations with the complex, dynamic nature of cloud services. Unlike conventional IT audits, cloud auditing requires a specialized understanding of virtualized resources, shared responsibility models, regulatory landscapes, and automated infrastructures. This book is a comprehensive guide to auditing in cloud environments, designed to provide readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to navigate the complexities of cloud computing environments. This book systematically builds your knowledge, starting with core auditing principles and cloud models such as IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, then tackling strategic issues like the shared responsibility model and establishing GRC frameworks. You will also learn essential compliance through specific discussions on GDPR, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS, and learn to apply global standards from NIST, ISO/IEC 27017, and the CSA CCM. The book delivers practical application by guiding you through auditing technical controls for cloud infrastructure, IAM, and data privacy, culminating in best practices for cloud service provider assessment and leveraging automation to manage emerging trends like Zero Trust architectures. By the end of this book, the reader will be able to confidently apply the knowledge and skills gained and assess the cloud control, including security and privacy, allowing them to independently and effectively audit the cloud environments.
