SOC 2 Compliance

Egnyte is SOC 2 SSAE 18 Type 2 compliant ensuring that we securely manage your data to protect the interests of your organization and the privacy of all clients. This is supported by a SOC 2 attestation report issued by an independent auditor whose role is to assess our compliance within selected Trust Services categories.

The SOC 2 report is intended to provide users information that may be useful when assessing the risks arising from interactions with Egnyte’s system. Specifically this report refers to the suitability of design and operating effectiveness of Egnyte’s controls to meet the criteria related to security, availability, processing integrity, and confidentiality set forth in TSP section 100, 2016 Trust Services Criteria for Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy (AICPA, Trust Services Criteria).

EU Customers Logo

EU Customers

Egnyte is committed to data sovereignty by directing that storage of all European customer data and metadata be solely within European-based cloud repositories, ensuring compliance with the laws and standards of the country in which the data resides. EU data stays in the EU.

Egnyte complies with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and we help organizations meet their own GDPR data privacy obligations. Customers in the EU and across the globe can use Egnyte as a content management and governance platform to help implement their GDPR compliance program.

Egnyte’s customer base enjoys the robust protections offered under Egnyte’s Data Protection Addendum, which may be found at the following link: https://www.egnyte.com/data-protection-addendum (the “DPA”). Among other things, the DPA: i. recites key provisions of GDPR that Egnyte follows, ii. attaches and incorporates Standard Contractual Clauses adopted in the EU (the “SCCs”), and iii. describes important data security procedures employed by Egnyte to protect customer data.

Additional details regarding Egnyte’s privacy-first approach can be found in our online Privacy Policy at the following link: https://www.egnyte.com/privacy-policy. Note: through early 2022, Egnyte had been annually certifying to the EU–US Privacy Shield Framework. However, especially in light of the Court of Justice for the European Union’s decision from July 2020 in the “Schrems II” case and Egnyte’s timely adoption of the SCCs, Egnyte determined that a recertification for 2022-23 was unwarranted.
