We're pleased to announce that Vast.ai has successfully completed the SOC 2 Type I audit, a significant milestone as we continue to deliver secure and scalable GPU compute to a global user base.

Security remains central to everything we do here at Vast.ai. We've spent the past 6+ years delivering reliable service worldwide while meeting the [highest standards](https://vast.ai/article/security-and-compliance-at-vast-ai) of regulatory compliance. 

### Vast.ai’s Secure Cloud Offering

Our [Trust Center](https://trust.vast.ai/) includes additional information about our controls, compliance stance, FAQs and Subprocessors.

For customers with heightened security and compliance requirements, our [**Secure Cloud**](https://cloud.vast.ai/?secure_cloud=true) offering provides access to GPUs hosted exclusively by our certified datacenter partners. This environment already delivers an added layer of assurance – now further backed by an independent SOC 2 audit on our platform infrastructure.

Achieving **SOC 2 Type I certification** is a clear validation of the controls we've built to protect customer data and ensure the integrity of our infrastructure.

Here's a brief overview of SOC 2 Type I and what it entails.

### What Is SOC 2 Type I?

Put simply, SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2\) compliance assesses an organization's security measures. The audit determines whether internal controls are appropriately designed to meet [trust services criteria](https://www.aicpa-cima.com/topic/audit-assurance/audit-and-assurance-greater-than-soc-2) – covering areas like security, confidentiality, privacy, and processing integrity – in order to safeguard customer data.

Developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the SOC 2 Type I report is essentially a detailed snapshot evaluating the design and implementation of these controls at a specific point in time. Its goal is to ensure that security measures meet rigorous industry standards.

### Why This Matters

Our SOC 2 Type I certification affirms to our customers and partners that we've put strong, well-designed controls in place to protect their data and maintain operational reliability. We take data security seriously and follow industry-recognized best practices.

The Type I audit is only the first step in a broader compliance roadmap. We are currently preparing for the SOC 2 Type II audit, which evaluates how effectively internal controls perform over an extended period. That assessment will validate that we maintain our security practices consistently, both in design and in day-to-day execution.

We're also advancing our compliance efforts across other standards, to help us better serve organizations with strict regulatory requirements.

### Our Ongoing Commitment

Earning this SOC 2 Type I certification reflects our commitment to protecting the privacy and integrity of the data entrusted to us by developers, researchers, and organizations worldwide. As a distributed peer-to-peer platform powering global compute, we take our responsibility seriously. This certification is one step in our ongoing effort to provide users with infrastructure they can trust.
