ISO/IEC 27017 & ISO/IEC 27018

As organizations increasingly rely on cloud platforms for infrastructure, storage, and application delivery, ensuring cloud security and privacy has become a business priority. ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018 provide internationally recognized frameworks for securing cloud environments and protecting personally identifiable information (PII). These certifications demonstrate your commitment to cloud security, data privacy, and regulatory compliance.

What are ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018?

ISO/IEC 27017 and ISO/IEC 27018 are cloud-focused extensions of ISO/IEC 27001 that provide additional controls and best practices for cloud security and privacy protection.

ISO/IEC 27017 – Cloud Security
ISO 27017 focuses on information security controls for cloud service providers and cloud customers. It provides guidance on managing cloud-specific risks such as shared responsibilities, virtual machine security, asset management, monitoring, and cloud infrastructure protection.

ISO/IEC 27018 – Cloud Privacy
ISO 27018 focuses on protecting Personally Identifiable Information (PII) processed within public cloud environments. It provides guidance on privacy controls, consent management, data protection, disclosure management, and compliance with privacy regulations.

Together, these standards help organizations strengthen cloud security, protect customer information, and demonstrate responsible data handling practices.
