Summary

PubNub has achieved SOC 3 compliance, providing an independent verification of its security controls that is publicly accessible and enhances trust for its users. Both SOC 2 and SOC 3 reports verify an organization's adherence to Trust Services Criteria for security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy, but while SOC 2 reports are detailed and shared only under NDA, SOC 3 reports generalize these findings for public distribution. This development is particularly beneficial for those in regulated industries, like healthcare and financial services, who require proof of data protection during vendor evaluations. The audit, conducted over 12 months by an independent firm, comprehensively examined PubNub's infrastructure and operations, covering security, availability, confidentiality, and privacy controls. This SOC 3 compliance does not change PubNub's security posture but allows potential customers to assess vendor risk early in their procurement process without needing an NDA. The SOC 3 report complements PubNub’s existing compliance certifications, such as SOC 2 Type 2, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, HIPAA, and GDPR, and is available on their website.
