What is ISO/IEC 27018?
Privacy guidance for public-cloud providers acting as processors of personally identifiable information. It complements ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002; it is not a regulation, standalone certification, or claim that ControlFrame is certified.
Who does ISO/IEC 27018 apply to?
ISO/IEC 27018 applies to cloud services, SaaS, technology, all sectors, global, per ISO/IEC 27018:2025.
What is the current version of ISO/IEC 27018?
The current edition is 2025, issued by ISO/IEC 27018:2025 and published 2025-08-26. Source: https://www.iso.org/standard/27018.
What does an assessment under ISO/IEC 27018 require?
No control catalog has been ingested for ISO/IEC 27018 yet — the registry tracks it as planned (Tracked metadata: we name the regime and monitor its issuing authority. No control or requirement model is implemented), so an assessment under this framework currently requires the authority's own catalog rather than a ControlFrame-parsed one.

Authority and version facts, with a parsed public catalog when available; no tenant blueprint or executable evidence method is activated.

ISO/IEC 27018 is tracked in the registry — authority, version ledger, verification — and nothing else is modelled for it yet. Import its catalog to begin.

Licensed standard — purchase from ISO or a national member body and obtain software-use rights before verbatim ingestion.
