Exam CAS-004 topic 1 question 160 discussion

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.

According to the ISO 27018 standard, several key requirements are in place to ensure the protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) in cloud environments.

Source issims.online What is ISO 27018 standard? What is ISO 27018? 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.

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....."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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

Iso/iec 27018 is the International standard for protecting information in cloud storage. The terms personal itself cover PII

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 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.

A is the correct answer
