Zoho products (SaaS applications) have been awarded ISO 27018 Certification. Zoho’s practices were vetted by an independent third-party auditing firm to help Zoho in ensuring that Zoho standards of accountability for data-handling meet the difficult and rigid requirements for ISO.
ISO is an independent, non-governmental international organization with a membership of 164 national standards bodies.
The ISO audit included all of Zoho’s cloud offerings, including its ManageEngine and Site24x7 and all the application software that Zoho operates in the cloud – their Software-as-a-Service (Saas).
The auditors were able to take into account the data that is processed by Zoho in their capacity as a Personally Identifiable Information (PII) Processor (‘Service Data’).
