ISO 27018 Certification Consulting & Cloud Privacy Audit Services Image

Protect personal data in the cloud and prove compliance with ISO 27018.

ISO/IEC 27018 is the international ISO 27018 standard for protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in the cloud. It builds on ISO 27001 by introducing cloud-specific controls that ensure data privacy, security, and compliance with regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA. For SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS providers, achieving ISO 27018 certification demonstrates a strong commitment to data protection, customer trust, and regulatory alignment, positioning your organization as a responsible and secure cloud service provider.

FAQ

How does ISO 27018 differ from ISO 27001 and ISO 27701?

ISO 27001 is your general information security foundation. ISO 27018 extends ISO 27001 with cloud-specific PII controls. ISO 27701 covers privacy management across your entire organization, not just the cloud.

If you’re deploying AI in the cloud handling PII, you may also want ISO 42001 for AI governance controls.

ISO 27018 controls align directly with GDPR, CCPA, and HIPAA requirements for handling personal data. Your ISO 27018 implementation satisfies multiple compliance frameworks simultaneously, avoiding duplicate control-building efforts.

Technically yes, but not practically. ISO 27018 is designed to extend ISO 27001. Most organizations implement ISO 27001 first, then add ISO 27018 for cloud-specific privacy requirements.

Typically 4-8 months depending on how many cloud environments you have, existing privacy maturity, and organizational size. Organizations with documented controls and clear data flows move faster.

Yes. You’re still responsible for managing how you use those services, monitoring for security issues, and ensuring compliance with privacy regulations. ISO 27018 applies to how you govern cloud-stored PII, regardless of whether the cloud provider built or manages the underlying platform.

Annual surveillance audits are required to maintain certification. We offer ongoing advisory and managed compliance services to keep your cloud privacy controls current as regulations evolve and your cloud architecture changes.
