Security and Compliance at Vast.ai

At Vast.ai, your security is our priority. We're proud of our track record of excellence over the past six years serving clients worldwide while keeping up the highest standards of regulatory compliance.

In fact, here at Vast.ai, we're currently in the process of completing our SOC 2 Type 1 certification – further solidifying our commitment to data security and regulatory compliance.

Our Compliance Policy is designed to protect your data every step of the way. Here's how:

Strengthening Security with Datacenter Partners

On our GPU cloud platform, our top-tier datacenter providers set the standard. These aren't your average hosts. We partner exclusively with vetted datacenter providers who maintain rigorous third-party compliance certifications. They hold a minimum of ISO 27001 certification – and many go further, maintaining compliance with industry-specific regulations in areas like healthcare, finance, and government.

You can trust that any datacenter provider you work with through Vast has undergone extensive due diligence. We audit their compliance regularly, ensuring that everything from physical access controls to continuous monitoring systems are in place. If you need documentation, we can provide the relevant certifications directly to your compliance team.

To filter for these providers only on Vast, be sure to select the "Secure Cloud (Only Trusted Datacenters)" checkbox.

Key Security Features of Our Datacenter Partners

To ensure the highest level of security for your data, our trusted datacenter partners implement a comprehensive set of protective measures. Here are the key features that set them apart:

Third-Party Certifications

All of our datacenter partners are ISO 27001-certified, ensuring they meet globally recognized information security standards. They may also hold additional certifications, such as HIPAA, NIST, PCI, and HITRUST, as well as GDPR compliance.

Physical and Environmental Security

Our partners manage their equipment in secure facilities with restricted physical access, regular access reviews and recertifications, continuous video monitoring with 90+ day retention, and stringent asset tracking and removal approval processes. Environmental controls, including fire suppression systems and power backups, are tested regularly to prevent disruptions.

Enhanced Auditing

We conduct thorough audits of our datacenter partners, verifying their ownership structure, source of funds, and identity, while ensuring they adhere to best practices and maintain equipment in line with their certifications.

Extended Legal Agreements

All datacenter hosts sign expanded hosting agreements that include a separate Data Processing Agreement (DPA) for added protection.

Other compliance measures include robust incident response protocols and regular security and compliance training for all employees.

Securing Your Peace of Mind

Compliance can be complex and daunting – but we're here to help!
