Compliance and certifications

Certifications overview

Union.ai maintains a rigorous certification program validated by independent third-party auditors. Full details at the Union.ai Trust Center.

Standard Certification Status
SOC 2 Type II Security, Availability, Integrity Certified
SOC 2 Type I Security, Availability, Integrity Certified
HIPAA Health data privacy and security Compliant*
CIS 1.4 AWS Restricted access benchmark Certified
CIS 3.0 Security benchmark In progress
    • Union is designed to meet HIPAA compliance requirements for handling Protected Health Information (PHI).
  • The SOC 2 Type II audit was conducted over a 12-week period and is available upon request. Key areas covered include protection against unauthorized access (Security), system availability commitments and disaster recovery (Availability), and complete, valid, accurate, and timely processing (Processing Integrity).
  • Union.ai uses Vanta for continuous compliance monitoring and automated control assessments.

Standards compliance

In addition to certifications, Union.ai complies with the following standard control frameworks through its private compute plane architecture:

Framework Control Description
ISO 27001 A.5.15 Access control Restricts access to network services and management interfaces; management endpoints not exposed to public Internet
ISO 27001 A.8.20 Network security Segregation and protection of networks; management interfaces on dedicated, private channels
ISO 27001 A.8.28 Secure configuration Minimizes public exposure of management plane by default
ISO 27001 A.8.21 Cryptography TLS encryption with minimized exposure of sensitive channels
ISO 27001 A.5.23 Cloud service security Cloud services configured securely with mitigated public exposure risks
CIS v8 4.4 Administrative access Administrative interfaces not exposed to Internet; VPN/bastion required
CIS v8 12.11 Segment admin interfaces Separation of administrative interfaces from public access
CIS v8 13.2 Boundary protections Management plane endpoints behind strong network segmentation

HIPAA compliance

Union.ai is designed to support HIPAA compliance requirements, enabling healthcare and life sciences organizations to process protected health information (PHI) within their compute planes. Because all customer data—including any PHI—remains exclusively in the customer’s own cloud infrastructure, Union.ai’s architecture inherently supports HIPAA’s data protection requirements. The control plane stores only orchestration metadata and never persists PHI.

GDPR alignment

Union.ai’s architecture inherently supports GDPR through its data residency model. For EU-region compute planes, all customer data remains within the European Union. The control plane stores only orchestration metadata, and where error messages may contain user-generated content, this is documented and scoped.

Trust Center

Union.ai maintains a public Trust Center at trust.union.ai (powered by Vanta), providing real-time transparency into the company’s security controls, compliance status, and security practices. The Trust Center provides up-to-date information on certifications, downloadable resources (SOC 2 reports upon request), and over 70 verified security controls organized across five categories:

Control Category Controls Key Controls Include
Infrastructure Security 17 controls Encryption key access restricted, unique account authentication enforced, production application/database/OS/network access restricted, intrusion detection, log management, network segmentation, firewalls reviewed and utilized, network hardening standards
Organizational Security 13 controls Asset disposal procedures, production inventory, portable media encryption, anti-malware, code of conduct, confidentiality agreements, password policy, MDM, security awareness training
Product Security 5 controls Data encryption at rest, control self-assessments, penetration testing, data transmission encryption, vulnerability/system monitoring
Internal Security Procedures 35 controls BC/DR plans established and tested, cybersecurity insurance, change management, SDLC, incident response tested, risk assessments, vendor management, board oversight, whistleblower policy
Data and Privacy 3 controls Data retention procedures, customer data deleted upon leaving, data classification policy

Shared responsibility model

Union.ai operates under a shared responsibility model:

Responsibility Area Union.ai Customer
Control plane security Full ownership N/A
Compute plane infrastructure Guidance and tooling Provisioning and maintenance
Data encryption at rest Default cloud encryption Optional CMK configuration
Network security (tunnel) Tunnel management Firewall and VPC configuration
IAM roles and policies Role templates and documentation Role creation and binding
Secrets management API and relay infrastructure Backend selection and secret values
Application-level access control RBAC framework Role assignment and policy
Compliance documentation SOC 2 report, Trust Center Customer-specific attestations

In BYOC deployments, shared responsibilities shift for compute plane infrastructure and IAM roles. See BYOC deployment differences: Shared responsibility model.
