Building Trust with Transparency – Zitadel Achieves SOC 2 Type II

We are proud to share a big milestone in our mission to provide the most secure and developer-friendly identity infrastructure for modern B2B SaaS companies. Zitadel has officially achieved SOC 2 Type II certification!

As an open-source solution built to solve complex multi-tenancy and authentication and authorization challenges, we know that security is the bedrock of your product. This attestation provides independent validation that our internal controls - protecting everything from secure logins to audit trails - are operating effectively.

By adding SOC 2 Type II alongside our ISO 27001 certification, we offer users and partners the highest level of assurance. This combination proves our identity data is handled securely, with consistent service uptime and protection from unauthorized access. — Florian Forster, CEO

Why This Matters for You

If you are building applications on Zitadel, you are entrusting us with your users' most sensitive identity data. Using Zitadel means you are building on a foundation that is already enterprise-ready:

  • Proven Security: It validates that our security practices aren't just theoretical—they are tested and proven over time.
  • Enterprise Readiness: For many of you, this removes a major barrier to adoption. You can now confidently deploy Zitadel in regulated industries and enterprise environments.
  • Accelerate Your Own Compliance: When your customers send you security questionnaires, using a SOC 2 Type II compliant identity provider simplifies your own audit process.

"We know that developers often face strict compliance requirements from their own organizations. By securing this attestation, we are drastically reducing the compliance burden for our users to adopt Zitadel, allowing them to ship faster without getting bogged down in security questionnaires." — Elina Sokolovska, Product Manager

SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 - Complementary Trust

You might remember we already hold ISO 27001 certification, but we decided to add SOC 2 Type II to our compliance program.

Think of ISO 27001 as the blueprint for how we manage Information Security - it proves we have a comprehensive framework (“Information Security Management System”) for managing risk. SOC 2 Type II, on the other hand, is the stress test. An external auditor assesses specific controls over a period of time (in our case, June to September 2025) to prove that we actually do what we say we do. Together, they provide a complete picture of a mature, secure, and compliant organization.

Get the Details

We believe in transparency. You can access our SOC 2 Type II report, along with our ISO 27001 certificate and other compliance resources, directly in our Trust Center.
