The SOC 2 Type 2 report provides enterprise customers with independent third-party evidence of GitHub Copilot's security controls over a defined audit period, which is commonly required by procurement and legal teams during vendor assessments.
Interpretive note: The page lists SOC 2 as a certification but the full scope of the audit and which Copilot products are covered is only available in the underlying report, which requires an access request.
Enterprise customers evaluating GitHub Copilot can access the SOC 2 Type 2 audit report by requesting it through this Trust Center page, supporting vendor due diligence processes and contractual security review obligations.

"SOC 2— Excerpt from GitHub's GitHub Copilot Business Privacy Statement
(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: SOC 2 Type 2 reports are evaluated under AICPA Trust Services Criteria. For GDPR-regulated organizations, a SOC 2 report may partially satisfy Article 28 processor due diligence obligations but does not substitute for a Data Processing Agreement. The FTC may consider SOC 2 representations relevant to unfair or deceptive practice assessments if security claims made to customers are found materially inconsistent with audit findings. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low. The disclosure of a SOC 2 Type 2 certification is standard practice for enterprise SaaS vendors. The primary governance consideration is confirming that the audit scope covers the specific Copilot product features and data flows relevant to the enterprise customer's use case. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA organizations should note that SOC 2 is a US framework and does not by itself satisfy GDPR processor obligations. California-based organizations subject to CCPA may reference SOC 2 reports as part of service provider due diligence. Heightened scrutiny may apply in regulated sectors such as financial services or healthcare. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement teams should confirm the audit period covered by the available report and whether the bridge letter (Dec 2025) covers any gap period. The report should be reviewed for any qualified opinions or exceptions that may affect risk acceptance decisions. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should map the SOC 2 scope to their organization's specific Copilot usage, request the report formally through the access request mechanism, and retain it as evidence of vendor due diligence. Teams should also verify whether a current NDA is required to access the report.
