Cloud computing has become the foundation of modern digital infrastructure, yet the absence of a unified architectural and compliance framework impedes interoperability, auditability, and robust security. This paper introduces a formal, machine-readable semantic model for Cloud Engines, integrating the architectural taxonomy of ISO/IEC 22123 (Cloud Reference Architecture) with the security and compliance controls of ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC TR 3445:2022. The model decomposes cloud systems into four canonical interfaces--Control, Business, Audit, and Data--and extends them with a security ontology that maps mechanisms such as authentication, authorization, and encryption to specific compliance controls. Expressed in RDF/Turtle, the model enables semantic reasoning, automated compliance validation, and vendor-neutral architecture design. We demonstrate its practical utility through OpenStack and AWS case studies, and provide reproducible validation workflows using SPARQL and SHACL. This work advances the state of cloud security modeling by bridging architectural and compliance standards in a unified framework, with a particular emphasis on auditability.
