Cloud privacy protection with ISO 27018
Personal data in the cloud is exposed to risks you can't always see—multi-tenancy, data location uncertainty, and access controls that aren't yours.
Tidal brings visibility and control. Implement cloud privacy best practices, document data locations clearly, and protect PII with proven cloud security measures.
ISO 27018 in depth
ISO 27018 is an international standard that focuses on protecting personal data in public cloud environments. The standard provides additional guidelines on top of ISO 27001 for organisations that process personal data as a cloud service provider.
In practice, uncertainty arises about how privacy in the cloud should be organised. Customers entrust their data to cloud providers, while transparency about use, storage, and access is often limited.
By applying ISO 27018, clarity emerges. Personal data is processed according to established privacy principles and customers gain insight into how their data is protected within the cloud.
