About ISO 27018

ISO/IEC 27018 is a unique information technology code of practice for protection of personally identifiable information (PII) in public clouds acting as PII processors. The cloud offers organizations and consumers a variety of benefits: cost savings, flexibility and mobile access to information top the list. It also raises concerns about data protection and privacy; particularly around personally identifiable information (PII).

PII includes any piece of information that can identify a specific user. The more obvious examples include names and contact details or your mother’s maiden name. But elements that people may not readily think of are medical records, IP addresses and banking statements.

Used with ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27018 has been published to allow Cloud Service Providers whose infrastructure is certified to the standard to tell their existing and potential customers that their data is safeguarded and won’t be used for any purposes for which they don’t specifically give consent.
