Which of the following is required for an organization to meet the ISO 27018 standard?
Which of the following is required for an organization to meet the ISO 27018 standard?
The ISO 27018 standard focuses on the protection of personally identifiable information (PII) in public cloud environments. It is based on principles that align with the EU's GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), which sets out stringent requirements for data protection, including user consent, data subject rights, and breach notifications. Therefore, meeting GDPR equivalent standards is essential for compliance with ISO 27018, as both aim to ensure robust privacy and data protection controls.
Answer is A --------------------------------------------------- ISO/IEC 27018 is a security standard part of the ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards. It was the first international standard about the privacy in cloud computing services which was promoted by the industry. It was created in 2014 as an addendum to ISO/IEC 27001, the first international code of practice for cloud privacy. It helps cloud service providers who process personally identifiable information (PII) to assess risk and implement controls for protecting PII.[1] It was published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) under the joint ISO and IEC subcommittee, ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27. --------------------------------------------------- In 2014, the ISO adopted ISO/IEC 27018:2014, an addendum to ISO/IEC 27001, the first international code of practice for cloud privacy. Based on EU data-protection laws, it gives specific guidance to cloud service providers (CSPs) acting as processors of personally identifiable information (PII) on assessing risks and implementing state-of-the-art controls for protecting PII.
So, Im going to point out in this the section that says "Based on EU data-protection laws...", which means "GDPR". So, this in itself, points to C. Also ISO 27018 does not mandate encryption of PII.
SO/IEC 27018 is a security standard part of the ISO/IEC 27000 family of standards. It was the first international standard about the privacy in cloud computing services which was promoted by the industry. It was created in 2014 as an addendum to ISO/IEC 27001, the first international code of practice for cloud privacy. It helps cloud service providers who process personally identifiable information (PII) to assess risk and implement controls for protecting PII SO GDPR is a bunch of rules and requirements to protect PII IMPORTANT - ISO27018 does not specify that ALL PII must be encrypted (must be protected). The correct answer is: GDPR equivalent standards must be met
ISO 27018 is an international standard that provides guidance on protecting personal data in the cloud. It is based on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which is a European Union (EU) regulation that sets out specific requirements for the protection of personal data. To meet the ISO 27018 standard, an organization must comply with GDPR equivalent standards, which means that it must meet the requirements set out in the GDPR for the protection of personal data.
Among the options provided, the closest to the requirements of ISO 27018 is C. GDPR equivalent standards must be met. This option is the most aligned because ISO 27018 aims to help cloud service providers that process PII to address privacy protection requirements in a way that's consistent with privacy principles in ISO/IEC 29100. While ISO 27018 does not explicitly require meeting GDPR standards, its principles align closely with GDPR in terms of the protection of personal data. Both set of standards emphasize consent, data subject rights, data breach notifications, and the secure processing of personal information.
Answer is A ISO/IEC 27018 is the international standard for protecting personal information in cloud storage. The term for the personal data it covers is Personally Identifiable Information or PII. ISO 27018 is a code of practice for public cloud service providers
GDPR and ISO 27018 serve slightly different functions. GDPR sets out data privacy and protection regulations. ISO 27018 gives you a practical framework to manage data protection and information security risks. Implementing ISO 27001, in conjunction with 27018, gives you a solid foundation for GDPR compliance.
ISO 27018 requires that the organization comply with applicable laws and regulations related to privacy and data protection, including GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) equivalent standards. Option A is incorrect because while encryption is a security measure that can be used to protect PII, ISO 27018 does not mandate that all PII must be encrypted
While it doesn't mandate that ALL PII must be encrypted, I wouldn't be surprised if CompTIA is looking for the answer to be A. Only because the ISO 27018 standard is referring to the protection of PII in public clouds. Here's the link to the standard: https://www.amnafzar.net/files/1/ISO%2027000/ISO%20IEC%2027018-2019.pdf
Iso/iec 27018 is the International standard for protecting information in cloud storage. The terms personal itself cover PII
A is the correct answer

Answer is A On your link it says "some of these reccomendations will likely feel familiar, as they show up in regulations like the GDPR". That isn't a requirement to meet the stanard. In this link you'll find "The extended security controls include: PII encryption requirements during storage and transmission" https://www.isms.online/iso-27018/#:~:text=What%20is%20ISO%2027018%3F,for%20public%20cloud%20service%20providers.
I think you're misinterpreting the quote from your link. It's stating that the ISO 27018 includes extended security controls. These controls explain the PII encryption requirements, NOT that encryption is for sure required. You have to look at the 27018 document itself to assess the controls and requirements. The answer to whether it needs to be encrypted depends on the situation.
Select A. "....ISO 27018 adds new guidelines, enhancements, and security controls..., which help cloud service providers better manage the data security risks unique to PII in cloud computing....."
A, PII is the only topic covered in the ISO 27018 not GDPR.
The standard is international and does not endorse any particular legislation, but does state that legislation can vary. I say A, even though typically on tests you want to avoid all/never choices, but it seems more correct than the others.
A. All PII must be encrypted. This option aligns closely with the requirements of ISO 27018. Encryption of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is a significant aspect of data protection and is often a requirement in various data protection standards, including ISO 27018. Encrypting PII helps safeguard sensitive information, particularly when it's stored or transmitted through cloud services. The other options, such as network traffic inspection (option B), GDPR equivalent standards (option C), and COBIT equivalent standards (option D), although relevant in broader information security and compliance contexts, might not be specifically mandated or articulated within ISO 27018.
Test taking skills 101 with option A. Always, never, All = False option C is in the text of the ISO.

ISO 27018 is the code of practice for the protection of personally identifiable information (PII) in public clouds. We’re going to explore what it means for both providers and customers.
ISO/IEC 27018:2014 establishes commonly accepted control objectives, controls and guidelines for implementing measures to protect Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in accordance with the privacy principles in ISO/IEC 29100 for the public cloud computing environment.
