KrakenD is Now SOC 2 Type II Certified: Our Commitment to Your Security, Officially Verified
by Albert Garcia

If there is one thing we know about APIs, it’s that security is no joke, even if sometimes security jargon sounds like an acronym soup nobody wants for lunch. That is why today, we’re beyond pleased to share that KrakenD is now SOC 2 Type II certified.
After months of audits, sweat, and yes, the occasional “Are we done yet?” moments from our team, we proudly hold this certification that shows we don’t just talk the security talk. We walk it, every day.
So, What Exactly is SOC 2 Type II?
SOC 2 is an important audit standard designed to make sure service providers like KrakenD securely manages data, demonstrating strong controls for security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
The Type II part means we not only have those controls in place, but they’ve been tested over a long time to prove they work in real-world conditions, not just on paper. It’s the kind of seal that makes CIOs and auditors breathe easier.
What This Means for You as a KrakenD User or Potential Customer
Let’s get real: Choosing an API Gateway isn’t just about features or speed. It’s about trust. The APIs you expose connect your critical systems, customer data, and business processes. A security slip can lead to big headaches, and we know that.
With KrakenD’s SOC 2 Type II certification, you can confidently:
- Demonstrate compliance to your own auditors and customers. No more late-night panics about supplier security.
- Sleep better knowing our controls have been audited extensively around aspects like vulnerability management and data handling procedures.
- Lean on KrakenD as a partner who prioritizes not only innovation but also guarding your digital assets.
Some customers have already shared how this certification has helped them fast-track their security evaluation processes, something we love hearing because it means less red tape and more action.
How We Put Security First, Every Day
This certification builds on our existing security foundations. For those interested in the details, we maintain full transparency on our trust page, where you can find all SOC 2 related information, including policies, controls, and more. Additionally, our security page covers all aspects of our product’s security to keep you fully informed.
To put it simply, this isn’t a checkbox for us. It’s an ongoing commitment to doing right by your data and your trust. The SOC 2 Type II badge is validation from independent auditors that KrakenD’s controls stand up to scrutiny.
