Kaspersky Successfully Passes SOC 2 Audit Again
Kaspersky has once again successfully passed a Service and Organization Controls 2 (SOC 2 Type 2) audit. The audit confirms that the company’s processes for developing and releasing antivirus databases comply with internationally recognized standards: they are secure and reliably protected against unauthorized interference.
Service and Organization Controls is a globally recognized reporting standard for cybersecurity risk management systems developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). Five key principles are used to assess a company’s security controls: Security, Availability, Processing Integrity, Confidentiality, and Privacy. Kaspersky has regularly undergone independent SOC 2 audits since 2019.
The audit was based on the results of the annual period from August 2025 to July 2026 and included employee inquiries, monitoring of implemented controls, a review of the relevant documentation, and reperformance of manual control and monitoring procedures. Independent experts reviewed Kaspersky’s processes for developing and releasing antivirus databases for Windows- and Unix-based solutions. They concluded that Kaspersky’s processes for developing, testing, and releasing antivirus databases continue to comply with SOC 2 requirements and are protected against unauthorized interference.

“For Kaspersky’s customers and partners, the successful completion of the SOC 2 audit is more than a routine procedure. It is independent confirmation that the security measures underlying our technologies remain effective at all times,” said Yuliya Shlychkova, Kaspersky’s Vice President of Public Affairs. “The assessment results confirm that the products our users confidently rely on every day are reliably protected and operate consistently. This gives customers confidence in every update and interaction involving the company’s solutions.”
Regular audits of the company’s internal processes are one of the important steps taken as part of its Global Transparency Initiative. The initiative aims to strengthen the trust of customers and partners while demonstrating the company’s commitment to transparency. In addition to the SOC 2 audit, Kaspersky has previously obtained certifications under the international ISO/IEC 27001 standard and Common Criteria.
