Protection of personal data in the cloud with ISO 27018 certification
Cloud services have become an integral part of our digital world. Organizations increasingly rely on the cloud for storage, computing power, and applications. However, processing personal data in the cloud presents unique challenges. ISO 27018 offers a solution.
What is ISO 27018?
ISO 27018 and ISO 27017 are very similar, but there are differences. 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 personally identifiable information (PII). ISO 27018 certification demonstrates that your organization complies with the highest standards in the field of data protection in the cloud.
Key features of ISO 27018
- Focuses on protecting personal data in cloud environments.
- Provides guidelines for transparency, security, and compliance with legislation.
- Supports cloud providers in complying with legal and contractual obligations.
What are the benefits of ISO 27018 certification?
- Improved data protection: You minimize risks such as data leaks and unauthorized access.
- Compliance with laws and regulations: ISO 27018 certification helps you comply with privacy legislation such as the GDPR.
- Increased trust: Customers and partners see your commitment to data protection.
- Demonstrable compliance: You demonstrate that you comply with relevant standards and best practices in the field of data security.
How does ISO 27018 certification work?
ISO 27018 and ISO 27017 are based on ISO 27001, but ISO 27018 focuses specifically on the processing of personal data in the cloud. During the ISO 27001 audit, DEKRA additionally assesses the ISO 27018 measures. This includes identifying risks relating to personal data and implementing measures to mitigate these risks.
If the result is positive, your organization will receive an ISO 27018 certificate, which you can use to demonstrate your commitment to data protection.
