Compliance considerations
What shapes SaaS testing.
These standards describe obligations that usually apply to the product or the client. PassRidge does not hold them on your behalf and nothing here is legal advice. Your compliance owner sets the scope.

SOC 2

02
ISO/IEC 27001
An information security management standard that customers use in vendor reviews.
03
GDPR and data residency
