"Compliance SOC 1 SOC 2 SOC 3 ISO 27001:2013 CSA STAR Level 2 TISAX ISO/IEC 42001:2023 Resources View all SOC 1 Type 2 Report SOC 2 Type 2 Report GitHub SOC 3 Report April - September 2025Excerpt from GitHub's Copilot Business Privacy Statement
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: SOC 2 Type 2 reports are relevant to GDPR Article 28 processor obligations and support the assessment of technical and organizational measures implemented by GitHub as a data processor. ISO 27001:2013 certification engages information security management system requirements. PCI DSS v4.0.1 documentation is referenced, implicating payment card industry compliance for relevant enterprise environments. TISAX certification indicates relevance to automotive industry information security requirements. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. The availability of SOC 2 Type 2 reports and bridge letters covering recent periods reduces third-party vendor risk assessment burden for enterprise procurement teams. However, access procedures for obtaining these reports (whether they require NDA or are publicly available) are not specified in the Trust Center text. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU organizations using Copilot as a data processor must verify that SOC 2 Type 2 controls satisfy the technical and organizational measure requirements under GDPR Article 32. UK organizations should assess equivalence under UK GDPR. US federal contractors should assess whether available certifications satisfy FedRAMP or equivalent requirements. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should formally request the SOC 2 Type 2 report and PCI DSS Shared Responsibility Matrix as part of vendor onboarding documentation, noting that bridge letters are available through December 2025, indicating coverage continuity between formal audit periods. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should establish a process to obtain updated SOC 2 Type 2 reports and bridge letters on an annual basis and should review the PCI DSS Shared Responsibility Matrix to confirm which compliance controls are the customer's responsibility versus GitHub's.
