Folks,
Accredited Standards Committee X9, Financial Services, has asked OMG, to review and suggest improvements to a draft standard, ANSI X.125, "Cloud Management and Security" (it should add "… for Financial Services" in the title). The OMG has a newly ratified liaison agreement with the CSA.
In the OMG chairperson's opinion, the document does require quite a bit of work, mostly because it was written by people with little or no exposure to the work of bodies such as the Cloud Security Alliance or OMG. We CSA members have expertise that allows us to provide feedback and suggestions, and several of the guides and papers we published since 2010 should be leveraged and cited in the X9 standard.
Accordingly, we invite you to enter comments and suggested edits in this Google Doc:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k4dO1OxKKzshni3JDoK_LDHFqoVt58HmwwBoJpNbm9I/edit?usp=sharing (if you are in a country where you cannot access Google services, or if anything else goes wrong, please let me know).
OMG added more instructions in the document itself in a text box on page 1. If you want to submit longer sections that don't fit well as a suggestion, send me a detailed e-mail; the OMG chairman and I can handle the merge.
Please attempt to complete this by the end of Sunday, November 1. Don't panic -- there are only 8 pages to review, and you can of course focus on just the parts you care about or have expertise in.
