ISO 27018 Certification
(Personally Identifiable Information)

The ISO 27018 is a cloud-focused standard for securing confidential client public data on the cloud. An accreditation of this type clearly shows an organization’s commitment to robust security procedures. This offers clear guidelines for cloud service providers handling Personally Identifiable Information (PII). It helps in gaining confidence and assurance, which is a crucial step in safeguarding cloud data.

Why Should You Adopt ISO 27018?

ISO 27018 empowers organizations to safeguard personal data and foster trust by adhering to an established standard for cloud data protection. This framework enables businesses to strengthen the security of personally identifiable information (PII) in the cloud while demonstrating a commitment to data protection regulations.

ISO 27018 provides guidance on adopting secure controls to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in the cloud. This reduces the likelihood of data breaches and unauthorized access.
