Recommended Actions

  1. Request Adyen's current SOC 2 Type II report and bridge letter — contact their security team via the trust page at [trust.adyen.com](https://trust.adyen.com) or email security@adyen.com. Many enterprise vendors provide this under NDA. Also request the SOC 1 (ISAE 3402) report if your organization has financial reporting controls that depend on Adyen's processing environment.
  2. Manually verify ISO 27001 certification status by navigating to [trust.adyen.com](https://trust.adyen.com) and requesting the current certificate number and expiry date from Adyen's compliance team — the automated IAF CertSearch registry check could not confirm the certification claim, and an expired or lapsed certificate would be a material change.
  3. Obtain the complete Article 28 subprocessor list by manually visiting [trust.adyen.com/subprocessors](https://trust.adyen.com/subprocessors) in a browser or requesting it directly from Adyen's privacy team. Screen all listed subprocessors against OFAC/EU sanctions lists and retain a copy for your vendor file.

Can I get an auto-filled security questionnaire for Adyen?+
Yes. Every ThirdProof investigation of Adyen produces two deliverables: an audit-ready risk report and a 133-question security questionnaire pre-filled with evidence from 27 independent sources. The questionnaire is mapped to SIG, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS and 9 other frameworks — answered without sending Adyen a single email or waiting for a vendor response.
Is Adyen safe to use as a vendor?+
Adyen is a payments vendor that handles payment card and transaction data. Safety depends on their current security posture, certification status, and how they handle your specific data. ThirdProof automates this evaluation across 27 intelligence sources — sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), business registration verification, adverse media scanning, and cyber risk assessment — producing a deterministic risk tier with confidence score plus an auto-filled security questionnaire. Run a free investigation to see Adyen's full risk profile.
Does Adyen have SOC 2 certification?+
No SOC 2 found. Adyen rated Low Risk — breach history in media. See all 7 findings →
Has Adyen had any data breaches?+
Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly payments platforms like Adyen that handle payment card and transaction data. ThirdProof's adverse media analysis searches multiple news APIs and public records for data breaches, security incidents, lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, and financial distress signals. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification.
Is Adyen on any sanctions lists?+
Sanctions screening is particularly critical for payments vendors. ThirdProof screens Adyen against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If Adyen or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.
How do I assess Adyen for vendor risk?+
Assessing Adyen as a payments vendor involves verifying PCI-DSS and SOC 2 Type II compliance, reviewing their subprocessor chain, and checking sanctions exposure. ThirdProof automates this across 27 intelligence sources in an average of 7 minutes — no questionnaires or vendor participation required. Your first 5 investigations are free.
How long does a ThirdProof assessment take?+
A ThirdProof assessment completes in an average of 7 minutes. 27 intelligence sources are queried in parallel — sanctions databases, business registries, threat intelligence feeds, certificate transparency logs, and more. The result is a deterministic risk tier with confidence score and audit-ready PDF report.
Is ThirdProof free?+
ThirdProof offers 5 free vendor assessments with no credit card required. Each assessment includes the full report — risk tier, confidence score, individual findings, executive summary, and PDF export. Paid plans start at $399/month for teams that need ongoing vendor monitoring.
Can I use a ThirdProof report as SOC 2 audit evidence?+
Yes. ThirdProof reports are designed to satisfy SOC 2 CC9.2 (vendor risk management) requirements. Each report includes SHA-256 integrity verification, methodology disclosure, source attribution for every finding, and AI content labeling. Auditors can independently verify the report's authenticity and trace each finding to its original source.
How is ThirdProof different from a security questionnaire?+
Security questionnaires require vendor participation, take weeks, and produce self-reported answers. ThirdProof queries 27 independent intelligence sources — no vendor involvement needed. Risk tiers are assigned by a deterministic rules engine (not AI opinion), and every finding links to its original source. You get an audit-ready report in an average of 7 minutes instead of waiting weeks for a questionnaire response.

Adyen is in your vendor stack. Can you prove you assessed them?

SOC 2 CC9.2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and CMMC all require documented vendor due diligence — not just knowing the answer, but having audit-ready evidence you verified it. Most compliance teams can't produce that documentation on demand.

ThirdProof investigates Adyen across 27 intelligence sources in an average of 7 minutes — sanctions screening, cyber posture, SOC 2 verification, FedRAMP status, and more. Every investigation produces two deliverables: an audit-ready risk report and an auto-filled security questionnaire your prospects and auditors expect to see.
