ISO27018 is the internationally recognised standard for protecting personally identifiable information (PII) in the cloud.
The Importance of ISO 27018
Many organisations rely on private, public and hybrid cloud services, which can introduce risks such as unauthorised access to personal data, data breaches, and compromised integrity.
- Establishing Objectives and Controls for ISO 27018 Certification: Achieving ISO 27018 certification requires that you have established objectives and controls to guide PII protection measures. These measures are aligned with the privacy principles in ISO/IEC 29100 for a public cloud computing environment.
- Challenges and Costs of Implementing ISO 27018: Meeting these measures requires specific skill sets, and experience with the certification process. This may be missing within many organisations and can create ongoing management costs as organisations recruit teams of people to start internal projects.

How it Works
ISO 27018 FAQs
ISO/IEC 27018:2019 is a code of practice for the protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in public clouds, acting as PII processors. ISO27018 is an internationally recognised standard which has been adopted by many organisations.
It confirms that an organisation has established objectives, controls and guidelines for implementing PII protection measures. These measures are aligned with the privacy principles in ISO/IEC 29100 for a public cloud computing environment.
It specifies guidelines based on ISO/IEC 27002, taking into consideration the regulatory requirements for the protection of PII. These requirements are applicable within the context of the information security risk environment of a provider of public cloud services.
Achieving ISO 27018 compliance helps organisations build a comprehensive and robust security program that takes into account the unique risks associated with storing and processing personal data in the cloud. Additionally, ISO 27018 provides guidance on how to effectively implement technical and organisational measures to protect personal data in the cloud, and how to ensure that these measures are appropriate to the risks posed.
