Step 1 - Comprehensive Gap Analysis
Step 1 – Comprehensive Gap Analysis
Our experts perform a comprehensive gap analysis to evaluate your organization’s current state of compliance with ISO/IEC 27018 requirements. Building upon your existing ISO/IEC 27001 framework, we identify areas where additional controls and measures are needed to address the specific privacy concerns associated with personal data in the cloud.
Step 2 - Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)
Step 2 – Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA)
We conduct a detailed Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to identify personal data flows, potential privacy risks, and compliance gaps within your cloud environment. Collaborating closely with your team, we collect crucial information through interviews, questionnaires, and technical assessments.
Step 3 - CSP Evaluation and Compliance
Step 3 – Cloud Service Provider (CSP) Evaluation and Compliance
Ducara assists in evaluating and selecting a cloud service provider (CSP) that meets the specific requirements of ISO/IEC 27018. We thoroughly assess CSPs against privacy commitments, data protection controls, and contractual agreements to ensure compliance with ISO/IEC 27018.
Our experts work alongside your team to review service level agreements (SLAs), negotiate necessary privacy and security clauses, and monitor the CSP’s ongoing compliance with ISO/IEC 27018.
Step 4 - Privacy Controls Implementation
Step 4 – Privacy Controls Implementation
Building upon your existing ISO/IEC 27001 controls, Ducara implements additional privacy controls specific to ISO/IEC 27018 requirements.
We collaborate with your IT and development teams to integrate Privacy by Design principles into your cloud infrastructure and processes. This includes implementing data minimization techniques, encryption mechanisms, access controls, and privacy-enhancing technologies.
Step 5 - Data Classification and Handling
Step 5 – Data Classification and Handling
Ducara helps establish a robust data classification framework, enabling your organization to categorize and handle personal data appropriately within the cloud.
We collaborate with your stakeholders to identify sensitive data types, define access controls, and establish data retention and deletion policies aligned with ISO/IEC 27018 guidelines.
Step 6 - Incident Response and Breach Management
Step 6 – Incident Response and Breach Management
We develop and implement an incident response and breach management plan that encompasses the specific privacy concerns outlined in ISO/IEC 27018. Ducara assists in establishing robust processes for detecting, reporting, and responding to privacy incidents and data breaches within the cloud environment.
Through regular incident response drills and tabletop exercises, we ensure your team is well-prepared to address privacy-related incidents effectively and efficiently.
Step 7 - Ongoing Monitoring and Compliance
Step 7 – Ongoing Monitoring and Compliance
Ducara emphasizes continuous monitoring and compliance management to maintain ISO/IEC 27018 standards alongside ISO/IEC 27001. We help implement security monitoring tools, perform regular vulnerability assessments, and conduct privacy audits to identify and mitigate potential risks or compliance gaps.
