## Executive Summary
|
|
|

|
## Verified Certifications
|
|
|
|
### ✅ SOC 2 Type II - CONFIRMED
|
|
|
|
**Source:** [Aikido Trust Center](https://www.aikido.dev/trust-center)
|
|
|
|
> "Aikido has been examined to attest that its system and the suitability of the design of controls meets the AICPA's SOC 2 Type II requirements."
|
|
|
|
### ✅ ISO 27001:2022 - CONFIRMED
|
|
|
|
**Source:** [Aikido Trust Center](https://www.aikido.dev/trust-center)
|
|
|
|
> "Aikido is ISO 27001:2022 compliant."
|
|
|
|
### ⏳ FedRAMP - IN PROGRESS
|
|
|
|
> "Aikido is actively implementing FedRAMP."
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Data Handling Policy
|
|
|
|
### ✅ NO CODE STORAGE - VERIFIED
|
|
|
|
**Source:** [Aikido Trust Center](https://www.aikido.dev/trust-center)
|
|
|
|
> "Aikido doesn't store your code after completing the analysis. We perform actions such as git clones in a fresh docker container for each repository. After analysis, the data is wiped and the docker container is terminated."
|
|
|
|
**Key Points:**
|
|
- Code cloned into **temporary isolated Docker containers**
|
|
- Containers are **unique to each customer**
|
|
- Analysis takes **1-5 minutes**
|
|
- Containers and clones are **auto-removed after every scan**
|
|
- **Read-only access** by default - Aikido cannot modify your code
|
|
|
|
### ✅ No Token Storage - VERIFIED
|
|
|
|
> "For GitHub, no refresh or access tokens are stored in our database. An Aikido database breach would not result in your GitHub code being downloadable."
|
|

|
## AI Training Policy
|
|
|
|
### ⚠️ NOT EXPLICITLY STATED - BUT IMPLIED SAFE
|
|
|
|
**Finding:** Aikido's privacy policy does not explicitly address whether customer code is used for AI model training.
|
|
|
|
**Why This Is Likely Safe:**
|
|
|
|
1. **No code retention:** Code is deleted immediately after analysis (1-5 min), making training technically infeasible
|
|
2. **GDPR compliance:** Training would require explicit disclosure under GDPR - none exists
|
|
3. **SOC 2 Type II:** Would require documented data handling practices
|
|
4. **Privacy-first stance:** "Your data won't be shared"
|
|
|
|
**Recommendation:** While not explicitly stated, the combination of no code storage + GDPR compliance + SOC 2 strongly suggests customer code is NOT used for AI training. For absolute certainty, contact privacy@aikido.dev.

## GDPR Compliance
|
|
|
|
### ✅ FULL GDPR COMPLIANCE - VERIFIED
|
|
|
|
**Source:** [Aikido Privacy Policy](https://www.aikido.dev/policies/privacy)
|
|
|
|
> "Aikido is in full compliance of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)."
|
|
|
|
> "As a company that finds its roots in the European Union and considers compliance to privacy legislation a core principle, Aikido has created their Privacy Policy based upon the foundations of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)."

## Data Retention
|
|

|
**Note:** This refers to scan results/findings, NOT source code (which is deleted immediately).
|
|
|
|
### Personal Data
|
|
|
|
- Can be deleted upon verified request
|
|
- Data subject rights honored (access, rectification, erasure, portability)
