Server compliance standards ensure that servers meet regulatory, security, and operational requirements. Key standards include:
ISO/IEC 27001 – An international standard for information security management systems (ISMS). It requires servers to implement controls for data protection, access management, and risk assessment.
Example: A financial institution uses ISO 27001-compliant servers to safeguard customer data.
PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) – Mandatory for servers handling credit card transactions. It mandates encryption, vulnerability scanning, and access control.
Example: An e-commerce platform stores payment data on PCI DSS-certified servers.
HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) – Applies to servers storing or processing healthcare data. Requires encryption, audit logs, and strict access controls.
Example: A hospital uses HIPAA-compliant servers to manage patient records.
GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) – Requires servers handling EU citizens' data to ensure privacy, data minimization, and breach notification.
Example: A global SaaS company deploys GDPR-compliant servers in multiple regions.
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) – Focuses on security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy. Common for cloud services.
Example: A startup hosts its app on SOC 2-compliant servers to attract enterprise clients.
