A wide range of services for your cloud security with ISO 27017 and ISO 27018
Many of us rely on cloud services for storage space, computing power and the applications we use on a daily basis. Although the cloud is very convenient, there are significant risks too because unauthorised access to personal information can lead to data loss or identity theft. So, users quite rightly have high expectations of cloud service security. Here at DEKRA, we understand these concerns and certify against ISO 27017 and ISO 27018.
ISO 27017 and ISO 27018: Safety assurance for your Cloud
The ISO 27017 certification proves that cloud services are effectively secured against risks such as data breaches, misconfigurations and unauthorized access. ISO 27018 additionally focuses specifically on the protection of personal data in the cloud. This standard ensures that sensitive data such as names, contact information or identification numbers are processed in accordance with applicable privacy laws.
By certifying against ISO 27017 and ISO 27018, cloud service providers and administrators of cloud environments demonstrate that they meet the highest international standards for cloud security and data protection. This not only strengthens the trust of customers and partners, but also contributes to compliance, risk reduction and competitive advantage in an increasingly digital market. Moreover, good information security provides demonstrable assurance towards regulators and other stakeholders.
ISO 27018 is an international standard that focuses on the protection of personal data in cloud services. This standard was developed specifically for cloud providers that process personal data.
