New global privacy
regulation certifications reinforce Cloudflare’s commitment to
cloud security and data protection in Europe
Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the security, performance, and
reliability company helping to build a better Internet, today
announced it has joined the EU Cloud Code of Conduct (EU Cloud CoC)
General Assembly, to help increase the impact of the trusted
ecosystem and encourage more organizations to adopt GDPR-compliant
cloud services. Cloudflare also announces that it has achieved two
new cloud security certifications: ISO/IEC 27018:2019 and C5 –
Cloud Computing Compliance Criteria Catalog – introduced by the
Federal Office for Information Security in Germany.
The EU Cloud Code of Conduct brings trust and transparency to
the European cloud computing market, helping organizations to
source cloud services from GDPR-compliant providers. Importantly,
following a positive opinion by the European Data Protection Board,
the EU Cloud Code of Conduct was fully approved by the Belgium Data
Protection Authority and is therefore a legally operational Code of
Conduct pursuant to Article 40 of the EU’s General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR). The Code covers all cloud service layers and its
compliance is overseen by accredited monitoring body SCOPE Europe.
Cloudflare’s global network and strong commitment to upholding the
very highest data protection standards will speed up adoption of
cloud services across the continent by allaying users’ data
protection concerns.
Commenting on the membership, Cloudflare’s Chief Privacy
Officer, Emily Hancock said, “As many businesses are realizing the
full flexibility of cloud services, building trust is paramount to
addressing any data privacy and security concerns they may have.
The EU Cloud CoC is leading the charge so that European companies
can grow and innovate with compliance built in. We look forward to
enabling more companies to benefit from the power of the cloud with
confidence.”
Cloudflare has also obtained two new security and privacy
compliance certifications, further reinforcing its commitment to
security and data protection in Europe. ISO/IEC 27018:2019 is a
global ISO privacy certification, implementing measures to protect
the processing of personally identifiable information (PII) in
public clouds acting as PII processors. Cloudflare is also
certified as a PII Controller and PII Processor to ISO/IEC
27701:2019, which is aligned to various data protection regulations
including the GDPR, and ISO 27001:2013. Meanwhile, the C5
attestation is an important validation against a defined baseline
security level for cloud computing. Cloudflare received a C5 report
in May 2022.
