ISO/IEC 27018 - Information Technology - PII in Public Clouds

This standard helps Cloud Service Providers demonstrate that data they hold is protected and only used for purposes explicitly consented to.

The cloud brings flexibility, cost savings and mobile access to organizations and consumers, but it also requires the robust protection of data

Data protection and privacy in the cloud is particularly important when it comes to personally identifiable information (PII).

PII includes any information that can identify a specific user. The more obvious examples are names and contact details or your mother’s maiden name. But ones 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 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.
