In this presentation we explore the Interoperability and Portability (IPY) domain of the Cloud Control Matrix (CCM), which comprises four control specifications aimed at ensuring secure and seamless data exchange across multiple platforms and Cloud Service Providers (CSPs). These controls help Cloud Service Customers (CSCs) avoid vendor lock-in and foster an environment where interoperability and portability are not limited by security concerns.

In the Shared Security Responsibility Model (SSRM), both CSPs and CSCs independently share responsibility for ensuring interoperability and portability in the cloud ecosystem. CSPs are typically responsible for implementing standardized communication protocols, maintaining cross-platform compatibility, and ensuring secure data exchange. CSCs, on the other hand, must leverage these tools for secure data backup, transfer, and restoration, as well as manage the integration of cloud environments. Both parties are responsible for documenting data portability obligations, such as defining data ownership and migration procedures.

This presentation will help you understand how effective interoperability and portability controls contribute to a secure, flexible, and vendor-neutral cloud ecosystem.
