Privy renews SOC 2 Type II compliance
Demonstrating our ongoing commitment to protecting user data and assets

While security documentation describes a company’s intended controls, real security is defined by how systems are actually operated. Demonstrating those controls run correctly, consistently, over time, under independent scrutiny is critical for trust.
Today, Privy is excited to announce that it has renewed its SOC 2 Type II compliance. Privy has achieved both Type I and Type II compliance for the past two years. SOC 2 compliance is a voluntary privacy and control standard that informs companies how they should design and implement security systems to protect user data. There are two levels of compliance:
Type I indicates that a company has well-designed controls;
Type II means those controls have been tested and validated over time by an independent auditor
Demonstrating Type II compliance signals that a company’s security execution is ongoing.
This stamp shows developers, businesses, and institutions that Privy means what we say about our ongoing commitment to verifiable security at scale.
An independent auditor reviewed Privy’s systems across a period running from November 1, 2025 through February 1, 2026 to ensure that all controls outlined in our policies were operating effectively. We were also able to organize our controls and documents with the help of Vanta, the leading compliance software tool. Privy has been a Vanta customer since 2023.
What was audited
A SOC 2 Type II audit examines more than whether security controls exist in documentation. It tests whether they were designed appropriately and operated effectively over time.
The audit covered three things:
Whether the description of Privy’s controls accurately reflects how the system works;
Whether the controls described were designed to meet the applicable trust services criteria; and
Whether those controls actually operated as designed over the audit period.
During evaluation, auditors tested controls across areas that matter most for a platform handling private key material, including access, change management, AWS configurations and monitoring tool setups, as well as multiple areas of encryption enforcement. They also performed procedures to test controls related to availability, confidentiality, processing integrity, and privacy.
The audit process also confirmed that Privy maintains cyber insurance coverage. As a Stripe company, Privy is covered under Stripe’s robust insurance program, which provides a financial backstop for customers in the event of cyber-related incidents.
What this means for teams building on Privy
At Privy, all engineering is security engineering. Every customer deserves and receives battle-tested, modern security infrastructure, backed by a commitment to continually improve and harden those systems.
We pursued both Type I and Type II SOC 2 compliance to demonstrate our ongoing security commitments. All customers need more than architecture documentation. Those in regulated industries, in particular, need evidence that the systems handling their users' keys operated as claimed, verified by an independent party.
This evidence is now available. For security reviews, vendor assessments, or compliance conversations, we can provide the full report and more at trust.privy.io.
Privy is the wallet infrastructure layer powering over 120 million accounts across over 2,000 applications. That scale requires systems that are not only well designed, but consistently operated and independently verified. SOC 2 is one way we make that visible.
