October 2022 Summaries

Gitpod has achieved Service Organization Control (SOC) 2 Type II compliance. This achievement reflects the company's commitment to maintaining appropriate security controls and continuously improving its security posture. The SOC 2 framework, based on Trust Services Criteria maintained by AICPA, is a widely recognized standard for managing customer data. Gitpod's security program goes beyond SOC 2 compliance, offering features such as open-source code, cloud-based infrastructure, isolated workspaces, integration with best-in-class solutions, passwordless authentication, encrypted data transmission and storage, artifact provenance, vulnerability disclosure, and continuous security monitoring.
