Information technology — Security techniques — Code of practice for protection of personally identifiable information (PII) in public clouds acting as PII processors
This document establishes commonly accepted control objectives, controls and guidelines for implementing measures to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in line with the privacy principles in ISO/IEC 29100 for the public cloud computing environment. In particular, this document specifies guidelines based on ISO/IEC 27002, taking into consideration the regulatory requirements for the protection of PII which can be applicable within the context of the information security risk environment(s) of a provider of public cloud services. This document is applicable to all types and sizes of organizations, including public and private companies, government entities and not-for-profit organizations, which provide information processing services as PII processors via cloud computing under contract to other organizations. The guidelines in this document can also be relevant to organizations acting as PII controllers. However, PII controllers can be subject to additional PII protection legislation, regulations and obligations, not applying to PII processors. This document is not intended to cover such additional obligations.
ISO/IEC 27018:2019 is an international code of practice for protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) when processed in the public cloud by organizations acting as PII processors. The standard provides commonly accepted control objectives, controls and implementation guidelines that adapt the information security controls of ISO/IEC 27002 to address privacy in cloud environments and aligns with privacy principles in ISO/IEC 29100. It is applicable to all sizes and types of cloud providers and is relevant to cloud customers, auditors and privacy professionals evaluating PII handling in cloud services.
ISO/IEC 27018 supplements ISO/IEC 27002 by focusing on PII protection in public cloud contexts. Key topics covered include:
ISO/IEC 27018 emphasizes aligning technical and organizational controls with applicable legal and regulatory requirements while recognizing that PII controllers may have additional obligations beyond those for PII processors.
