ISO 27018:2025 represents a landmark amendment in cloud privacy, building on the foundational ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Management System (ISMS) framework to address the unique challenges of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) processing in public cloud environments.
This course provides a structured, in-depth examination of the 2025 amendments, including enhanced controls for transparency, data subject rights, lawful basis for processing, and data breach notification. Using real-world examples from leading cloud providers such as Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), learners develop actionable skills to implement and audit ISO 27018:2025-compliant practices. The course is ideal for data protection officers, cloud architects, compliance managers, and information security professionals seeking to align organizational practices with international PII standards.
As organizations increasingly migrate sensitive data to public cloud environments, the need for a robust, internationally recognized privacy framework has never been more pressing. ISO 27018:2025 responds to this demand by introducing updated controls that reflect the evolving regulatory landscape, including alignment with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), enabling organizations to meet diverse compliance obligations through a single, coherent standard while strengthening their overall privacy posture across multiple geographies.
