Back4app Is SOC 2 & ISO 27001 Compliant

What Do These Certifications Mean?

SOC 2 Type 1

An independent, point‑in‑time audit confirms our controls for trust, availability, and confidentiality are designed correctly—setting the stage for the upcoming Type 2 attestation.

ISO 27001

The global gold standard for information‑security management systems. It validates that Back4app runs a documented, continuously improving Information Security Management System spanning people, processes, and technology.

Inside the Journey

Achieving dual compliance took months of policy reviews, control mapping, and evidence gathering. External auditors combed through everything—from onboarding checklists to firewall rules—while our team ran continuous monitoring and red‑team exercises.

The result: robust documentation, verified controls, and a culture that treats security as code. We’re not stopping here: a SOC 2  Type 2 audit is already under way, annual ISO surveillance audits are on the calendar, and recurring penetration tests keep us alert to emerging threats.

Message from the Team

Security is a moving target, so we don’t treat compliance as a checkbox. These certifications—and making them available on the Pay-as-you-go and Dedicated plans—show our long-term promise to guard every byte our customers entrust to us.”
— Charles Ramos
