Droit Achieves ISO/IEC 27018:2019 Certification

In a significant advancement for cloud security, Droit, a pioneering technology firm specializing in computational law and regulation, has secured the prestigious ISO/IEC 27018:2019 certification. This certification stands as a testament to Droit’s commitment to safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII) in public cloud environments. As data privacy laws continue to evolve globally, this achievement further solidifies Droit's status as a trusted cloud service provider (CSP).

In the realm of cloud services, trust and compliance are paramount, especially for financial institutions that rely on secure handling of sensitive customer data. The ISO/IEC 27018 standard signifies that Droit has adopted best practices designed to protect personal data processed in public cloud settings. This certification is particularly timely, as regulatory demands surrounding data privacy are intensifying across various jurisdictions, making compliance a crucial requirement for all CSPs.

Droit has built upon its prior accomplishments, having also received recertification for ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27017:2015 earlier this year. Together, these certifications provide clients with increased confidence in the security of their data as they transition to cloud-based systems. Droit’s comprehensive trio of certifications works to reassure financial institutions that their data, as well as cloud services, are secure and compliant with both current and emerging regulations.

A critical aspect of the ISO/IEC 27018 certification is its alignment with the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This is particularly relevant as it governs how organizations within the EU must manage personal data. The assurance offered by this certification ensures that Droit adheres to the stringent data handling regulations that serve to protect the rights of individuals.

Kaveh Moravej, the Head of Information Security at Droit, expressed pride in this achievement: "ISO 27018 is the world’s best-known privacy standard for the cloud and represents a natural evolution from our existing ISO certifications. To obtain ISO 27018, we enhanced our security and privacy protocols and fostered awareness throughout our organization to ensure compliance with all the standard's requirements. We can now better navigate both existing and future global data privacy regulations, giving our clients confidence in our alignment with their privacy needs."

Peter Bals, the Chief Technology Officer at Droit, emphasized the significance of the certifications: "Droit’s ISO certifications underscore our commitment to both cloud security and data privacy, crucial for maintaining the trust of the financial institutions we serve. Achieving ISO 27018 validates our focus on security and establishes Droit as a leading cloud services provider, ensuring that our best-practice controls support clients throughout their cloud journeys."

The rigorous process to obtain these certifications included an audit by an external, independent, and accredited team, ensuring that Droit's practices align with the highest industry standards.
