Cloudflare obtains new ISO/IEC 27701:2019 privacy certification and what that means for you

Cloudflare has achieved ISO/IEC 27701:2019 certification, making it one of the first organizations in its industry to do so. The company is also the first web performance and security firm to be certified as both a data processor and controller under this new international privacy standard. This certification provides assurance to Cloudflare's customers that their personal data will be handled according to GDPR requirements. The ISO 27701 standard focuses on protecting and managing the processing of personal data, aligning closely with the GDPR. It is a privacy extension to the existing industry standards ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002. Cloudflare's certification as both a data controller and processor demonstrates its commitment to maintaining high-standards in data handling practices and transparency about those practices.
