"Infrastructure access is granted according to the principle of least privilege. We enforce multi-factor authentication, deploy cybersecurity tools, and monitor system logs and activity.— Excerpt from Cursor's Cursor Security Practices
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: Least privilege access controls and MFA are standard requirements under GDPR Article 32 appropriate technical and organizational measures, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and SOC 2 Security Trust Service Criteria. These disclosures are directly relevant to vendor security assessments under these frameworks. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. These are standard access control disclosures that align with commonly expected enterprise security practices. The governance exposure is limited to verifying that the disclosed controls are accurately represented in the SOC 2 attestation. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU customers relying on these controls as part of GDPR Article 32 documentation should verify they are covered within the scope of the SOC 2 attestation report. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should confirm that the access controls described are within the SOC 2 audit scope and request the full attestation report via trust.cursor.com to verify. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams conducting vendor risk assessments should cross-reference these disclosures against the SOC 2 Type II report to confirm independent validation of the stated controls.
