Introduction
We’re proud to announce that SnapKYC has earned ISO 27001 certification and a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation - independent milestones that validate our continuous investment in information security, privacy controls, and operational resilience.
These achievements reinforce our commitment to protecting customer data across Aadhaar-based and identity verification workflows. They are the result of sustained investment in secure engineering, robust operational processes, and ongoing third-party audits that verify those controls operate effectively over time.
What is ISO 27001?
ISO 27001 is one of the most widely recognized international standards for information security management.
Earning this certification means SnapKYC has a formally audited Information Security Management System (ISMS) that covers:
- Risk assessment & mitigation
- Access management & operational security
- Security policies & governance
- Business continuity & incident response
- Continuous monitoring & improvement
This certification shows that our security controls are not ad-hoc - they are systematic, comprehensive, and externally verified.
What is SOC 2 Type 2?
SOC 2 Type 2 is a rigorous audit performed over several months, evaluating how well our controls operate in real-world conditions.
The assessment focuses on the Trust Services Criteria:
- Security
- Availability
- Confidentiality
- Processing integrity
- Privacy
While SOC 2 Type 1 evaluates design, Type 2 evaluates design and ongoing operational effectiveness, making it a significantly stronger assurance.
Together, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 demonstrate that SnapKYC meets global standards for data protection, operational maturity, and secure handling of identity verification workflows.
Why this matters for customers and partners
- Stronger data protection by design: Our ISMS enforces security policies, risk assessments, and continuous improvement to reduce the chance of breaches or data loss.
- Independent verification: SOC 2 Type 2 provides customers with a time-bound attestation showing our controls worked as claimed across the audit period, not just at a single moment.
- Lower compliance burden for integrators: Customers integrating SnapKYC for Aadhaar-based verification can rely on our certified controls for many security and operational requirements.
- Operational readiness: Achieving these standards requires documented incident response, access control, monitoring, vendor management, and periodic testing - all of which add to product reliability.
