Trust is the foundation of any platform that handles student data. That is why Kinobi AI is ISO 27001 certified and applies ISO 27018 controls for the protection of personally identifiable information in the cloud.

For the universities and students we serve across APAC, this is more than a badge. It is an independent, internationally recognised assurance that the personal data on our platform is handled to a defined and audited standard.

What ISO 27018 Covers

ISO 27018 is the international code of practice for protecting personally identifiable information in public cloud environments. It sets out specific controls for how a cloud provider handles personal data, with a focus on transparency, consent, and keeping control of that data in the right hands. It works as an extension of ISO 27001, the international standard for information security management.

What This Means for Institutions

For a university, this provides a benchmark backed by independent audit rather than a vendor’s assurance alone. It signals that student data on the Kinobi AI platform is managed according to globally recognised practice, and it supports institutional compliance obligations under data protection regulations such as PDPA.

Security Built into the Student Success System

Protecting student and institutional data is not a feature we add on. It is built into how the Kinobi AI Student Success System is designed and operated, across our Career, Internship, and Mentoring Management Systems and the connected institutional systems around them.

As we continue to grow across Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and the wider region, that commitment stays constant: the institutions and students who trust Kinobi AI with their data can be confident it is protected to the highest recognised standard.
