"A SOC 2 Type II attestation report is available on request at trust.cursor.com. We commit to at-least-annual penetration testing by reputable third parties. An executive summary of the latest report is also available on request via our trust portal.— Excerpt from Cursor's Cursor Security Practices
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: SOC 2 Type II is an AICPA-framework attestation; it is not a regulatory certification but is widely accepted as evidence of security controls in enterprise procurement. GDPR Article 32 requires appropriate technical and organizational measures, and SOC 2 reports are commonly used to demonstrate compliance. The FTC's data security enforcement framework also considers whether companies have undergone independent security assessments. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. The commitment to annual penetration testing and the availability of the SOC 2 report on request are standard enterprise security disclosures. The governance exposure is limited but note that the report is provided on request rather than publicly, which is standard practice for SOC 2 reports. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU customers subject to GDPR Article 28 DPA requirements may cite the SOC 2 report as evidence of appropriate sub-processor controls. Jurisdictions with sector-specific security certification requirements (e.g., financial services, healthcare) should verify whether SOC 2 alone satisfies those requirements. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should request the full SOC 2 Type II report through trust.cursor.com and review the scope, audit period, and any exceptions noted. The penetration testing executive summary should also be requested to assess the currency and scope of third-party security testing. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should note the report's audit period and confirm it covers the services and data types relevant to their use case. Annual re-review of the report should be incorporated into vendor management schedules.
