What is ISO 27018:2014 Certification?
ISO 27018:2014 is the first international code of practice specifically designed for protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in public cloud computing environments. It extends ISO 27001 controls with additional requirements addressing cloud-specific privacy risks, including data location transparency, unauthorized access prevention, and clear consent mechanisms for data processing. This certification mandates that cloud service providers implement strict contractual obligations, limiting how customer data can be used and ensuring PII is never used for advertising or marketing without explicit consent.
The standard requires cloud providers to maintain complete transparency about data storage locations, subcontractor usage, and government access requests while implementing robust technical controls for data isolation and encryption. Organizations certified under ISO 27018:2014 demonstrate their commitment to privacy-by-design principles, providing customers with assurance that their personal data is protected according to internationally recognized standards, facilitating compliance with global privacy regulations including GDPR and CCPA.
