ISO 27018 Certification
(Personally Identifiable Information)
The ISO 27018 is a cloud-focused standard for securing confidential client public data on the cloud. With GORICO, our AI-enabled platform, and Accorian’s expert team, organizations can streamline their journey to ISO 27018 Certification.
Why Do You Need An ISO 27018 Certification?
ISO/IEC 27018 certification verifies that an organization protects Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in public cloud environments through defined privacy and security controls. It helps organizations safeguard sensitive customer data, meet privacy expectations, and build trust with clients and partners using cloud services.
