Recommended Actions

  1. Request the SOC 2 Type II report and bridge letter: Contact DigitalOcean's security team directly or check https://www.digitalocean.com/trust — many enterprise vendors provide reports upon request or via a shared portal. Retain the report in your vendor risk register with the issue date and period of coverage noted.
  2. Clarify HIPAA BAA availability: Email DigitalOcean's sales or compliance team to ask specifically whether a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) is available for your intended workloads and which products/services are covered under HIPAA eligibility. Do not assume HIPAA coverage without a signed BAA.
  3. Verify HTTP security headers on the application console: Use Mozilla Observatory (https://observatory.mozilla.org) to independently scan console.digitalocean.com — the authenticated application domain — and confirm that Strict-Transport-Security, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options are properly configured where your users will authenticate.

Has DigitalOcean had any data breaches?+
Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly cloud infrastructure platforms like DigitalOcean that handle organizational workloads and 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 DigitalOcean on any sanctions lists?+
Sanctions screening is standard due diligence for cloud infrastructure vendors. ThirdProof screens DigitalOcean against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If DigitalOcean or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.
How do I assess DigitalOcean for vendor risk?+
Assessing DigitalOcean as a cloud infrastructure vendor involves verifying SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP 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.

Every investigation produces two deliverables: an audit-ready risk report and an auto-filled security questionnaire your prospects and auditors expect to see.
