It meticulously outlines privacy prerequisites and augments security controls to ensure their effective implementation within the purview of cloud service providers.

 

This standard operates in tandem with ISO 27017:2015, which centers on Security Controls for Cloud Services, and ISO 27701:2019, a framework for Privacy Information Management. These standards, like ISO 27018, stem from the foundational principles of ISO 27001:2013.

In its capacity as an extension to ISO 27001, ISO 27018 imparts guidance on 16 controls delineated in ISO 27002.
Additionally, it introduces 25 new controls dedicated to privacy and security.

These encompass mandates for collaboration with personally identifiable information (PII) controllers,
safeguarding the rights of PII principals, adherence to core privacy requisites such as data minimization and accuracy, and the championing of transparency and accountability principles.

Furthermore, it specifies supplementary security controls and sets forth requirements pertaining to sub-contracted processing.
