Cloud service provider Droit obtains certification for secure cloud offerings

In a significant move towards strengthening its commitment to cloud security and data privacy, Droit has announced that it has received the ISO/IEC 27018:2019 certification. This global standard pertains to the protection of personal data in public cloud environments.

To achieve this certification, Droit augmented its existing security and privacy programs, working across the business on new protocols and raising awareness to ensure all the requirements of the standard were met. Peter Bals, the Chief Technology Officer at Droit, stated that the ISO certifications reinforce Droit's commitment to cloud security and data privacy.

The ISO/IEC 27018 certification specifically addresses the protection of personal data within public clouds and aligns with the requirements of Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Kaveh Moravej, Head of Information Security at Droit, stated that the ISO 27018 certification is the world’s best-known privacy standard for the cloud.

This certification reinforces Droit's capacity to meet evolving data privacy obligations worldwide. By attaining this certification, Droit offers institutions an internationally recognized framework for compliance. The ISO 27018 certification is a globally recognized benchmark for safeguarding personally identifiable information (PII) in public cloud environments.

Peter Bals also mentioned that the ISO 27018 certification provides independent validation of Droit's focus on security. He further stated that the best practice controls associated with the ISO certifications are integral to supporting clients on their cloud journeys. Achieving ISO 27018 is seen by Peter Bals as a means of cementing Droit's position as a major cloud services provider.

Droit's existing ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 27017:2015 accreditations have been successfully recertified in its most recent audit. Together, these certifications demonstrate Droit's robust approach to data governance, security, and regulatory alignment. The ISO/IEC 27018:2019 certification in 2025 underscores Droit's commitment to building trust with the global financial institutions it serves.

In conclusion, Droit's recent ISO/IEC 27018:2019 certification underscores its dedication to maintaining the highest standards of data protection and privacy in public cloud environments. This move reinforces Droit's position as a trusted partner for financial institutions seeking secure, compliant, and resilient cloud services.
