Hi there,

As we approach the end of the year, we're excited to share the achievements and milestones of the FINOS Common Cloud Controls Project in a series of blog posts. 

Progression of the FINOS Common Cloud Controls Project

From the announcement in July to open sourcing in October, the FINOS CCC project has gained significant momentum, reinforcing the commitment of FINOS members and the wider open source community to establish a standardized framework for common cloud controls.

The links below are a gathering of the highlights of project so you can gauge your company's interest in joining the community that has grown around FINOS CCC.

Director of Community, James McLeod reflects on the project progress to this point, read and watch the FINOS CCC presentations from the Open Source in Finance Forum - featuring Citi's CTO Jim Adams, BMO's CIO for US Capital Markets Kim Prado and David Homovich from the Office of the CISO at Google Cloud and many more. And the rest of the links will provide more background on how and where to get involved (including Jim Adams' initial blog post on why common cloud controls should be addressed in financial services)!
