Nakisa achieves ISO 27018 certification, strengthening cloud privacy assurance for enterprise customers

The certification builds on Nakisa's existing ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 credentials, adding independently audited assurance for how customer data is protected in Nakisa cloud services.

Independent assurance for customer data in the cloud

Nakisa has achieved ISO 27018 certification, the international standard for protecting personally identifiable information (PII) in public cloud services.  The certification adds a standard dedicated to privacy for customer data in the cloud to Nakisa's existing ISO 27001 and ISO 27017 certifications. Customers now have independently audited assurance that their PII is handled according to a globally recognized benchmark. 

Congratulations to Nakisa for earning their ISO/IEC 27018 certification, which is a widely recognized signal of trust and security. It’s great to work with organizations like Nakisa who understand the value of expertise in driving an efficient audit and the importance of a high-quality final report.

COO of A-LIGN

ISO 27018 is built specifically for cloud service providers that process PII on behalf of their customers. It sets requirements for consent, transparency, and data minimization that go beyond the general controls covered by ISO 27001. For Nakisa customers in the Global 2000, public sector, and highly regulated industries, ISO 27018 strengthens the evidence available to procurement, security, and compliance teams when assessing how customer PII is protected in Nakisa cloud services. 

ISO 27018 represents the newest milestone in a compliance roadmap our customers can watch mature year over year. It gives them independently audited assurance, built specifically for cloud environments, that protecting their personal data remains a standing priority as we continue investing in and growing our compliance program.
