At Accent-TS, we recognize that Personal Identifiable Information (PII) is among the most sensitive assets our clients entrust to us. Our dedication to privacy in the digital age is solidified by our compliance with ISO/IEC 27018, the international code of practice for Protecting Personal Data in the Cloud.
As a supplement to our existing security frameworks, ISO 27018 establishes specific control objectives and guidelines for implementing measures to protect PII in accordance with the privacy principles in ISO/IEC 29100.
What ISO 27018 Means for Our Clients:
- Complete Data Sovereignty: You maintain full ownership of your data. We process PII only according to your explicit instructions, ensuring that your data is never used for unauthorized purposes like advertising or marketing.
- Enhanced Transparency: We provide clear disclosures regarding the geographic location of your data and the identities of any sub-processors. You have full visibility into how and where your information is handled.
- Legal & Regulatory Compliance: Our adherence to ISO 27018 helps our clients meet stringent global data protection requirements, such as GDPR, by providing a verified framework for cloud privacy.
The Foundation of Our Privacy Protection:
Maintaining ISO 27018 certification requires Accent-TS to uphold the highest levels of accountability in the cloud:
- Data Minimization & Purpose Specification: We ensure that only the minimum necessary data is collected for a specific, defined purpose, reducing the risk and impact of potential data exposure.
- Notification of Breaches: In the unlikely event of a security incident involving your data, we have established protocols to notify you promptly, providing the information necessary for you to fulfill your own legal obligations.
- Rigorous Auditing: We undergo regular independent audits to verify that our privacy controls are operating effectively, giving you peace of mind that your data is managed by a partner that values integrity.
