Recommended Actions
- Request Datadog's SOC 2 Type II report and PCI DSS Attestation of Compliance (AoC) from your account team or via trust.datadoghq.com — these are the two most critical documents for PCI DSS 12.8 TPSP compliance. Ask specifically for the AoC rather than a summary, as your QSA will require the full document.
- Execute a formal Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Datadog before handling any EU consumer data. Datadog publishes a DPA template — request it from your legal or procurement contact at Datadog, or check datadoghq.com/privacy for a downloadable version. Confirm it covers GDPR Article 28, CCPA service provider obligations, and prohibits Datadog from selling or using your customer data for its own purposes.
- Complete a PCI DSS shared responsibility matrix with Datadog. Ask your Datadog account team for their TPSP responsibility matrix, which should document which PCI DSS 4.0 requirements Datadog manages versus which remain your organization's responsibility — particularly for any Datadog agents or integrations deployed within or adjacent to your cardholder data environment (CDE).

Datadog Compliance and Certification Status
Datadog claims SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, and CSA STAR certifications. Datadog for Government holds FedRAMP authorization at Moderate impact level. ThirdProof's investigation independently verified these claims against the FedRAMP Marketplace and cross-referenced certification attestations on Datadog's trust page. Organizations evaluating Datadog should confirm that the specific Datadog services they use fall within the scope of these certifications — FedRAMP authorization covers the Government deployment, not necessarily the commercial platform.
