Mission

The mission of the Taxonomy WG is to define and maintain a comprehensive taxonomy of service(s) offered by the cloud hyperscalers. This initiative aims to establish a standardized nomenclature and attributes for common service categories such as VMs, Storage, and Networking. By creating this uniform taxonomy, the WG will facilitate the application of a set of controls across various cloud provider implementations, addressing common risks and promoting broader applicability of the CCC project's resources.

Approach & Responsibilities

  • Identify common cloud service categories, prioritizing those most commonly used within financial service institutions
  • Create and maintain an index of all common service categories each organized by common categorical delineations
  • Create and maintain a list of descriptions for the minimum viable features of each service category
  • Create and maintain an asset describing the ways to test the presence of each feature for a service
  • Ensure all artifacts comply with requirements documented by the Delivery WG prior to release
  • Collaborate with Delivery WG to publish each release on the agreed schedule
  • Collaborate with the Communications WG to incorporate user feedback into the development cycle

Output / Deliverables

The following artifacts will be created and stored in the project GitHub repo:

  • Index of common service categories
  • List of feature descriptions for each service in the index
  • Test descriptions for each feature on each service

  • Working on assets related to cybersecurity topics
