Formbricks Achieves SOC 2 Type II Compliance

Formbricks SOC 2 Type II Compliance

We're excited to announce that Formbricks has achieved SOC 2 Type II compliance! This significant milestone represents our commitment to enterprise-grade security and data protection for organizations that trust us with their experience management data.

What is SOC 2 compliance?

SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a rigorous auditing framework developed by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA). It evaluates how companies handle customer data based on five trust service criteria:

  • Security: Protection against unauthorized access
  • Availability: System availability for operation and use
  • Processing Integrity: System processing is complete, accurate, and timely
  • Confidentiality: Information designated as confidential is protected
  • Privacy: Personal information is collected, used, retained, and disclosed in accordance with privacy principles

Formbricks' SOC 2 journey

Achieving SOC 2 Type II compliance involved a comprehensive audit of our controls, powered by OneLeet:

Security controls

  • Access Management: Multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, and least-privilege access to production systems
  • Data Encryption: All data encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256), including backups
  • Infrastructure Security: Hosted in Germany, with network segmentation, DDoS protection, and container scanning with Trivy
  • Code Quality: Automated static analysis with SonarQube, dependency scanning with Dependabot

Operational excellence

  • Incident Response: Documented procedures for security incidents
  • Change Management: Peer review, CI/CD testing, and strict quality gates on every code change
  • Vendor Management: Rigorous assessment of third-party providers
  • Employee Training: Security awareness and policy review as part of onboarding

Data protection

  • Privacy Controls: Full GDPR and CCPA compliance
  • Audit Logging: Comprehensive tracking of system activities
  • Backup and Recovery: Daily encrypted backups with tested disaster recovery
  • Penetration Testing: Annual independent tests. Reports available via our Trust Center
