Executive Summary Preview

Kaspersky (kaspersky.com) has been assigned a Tier 2 (High Risk) rating, driven primarily by significant geopolitical and regulatory concerns that extend beyond technical indicators. The vendor has been banned from U.S. government systems and Australian government networks, and carries a complex regulatory history that represents material procurement risk for organizations in regulated industries.

Recommended Actions

  1. Complete sanctions screening manually: Given that automated sanctions screening was unavailable, verify Kaspersky against OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list at sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov and the EU consolidated sanctions list at data.europa.eu/data/datasets/eu-financial-sanctions. Document results with date and reviewer signature before proceeding.
  2. Conduct a jurisdictional and regulatory review: Determine whether your organization operates in any sector subject to explicit Kaspersky restrictions (U.S. federal agencies under the FY2018 NDAA, Australian government systems under the 2025 directive, or equivalent). Engage your legal or compliance team to produce a written determination within 10 business days.
  3. Request SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 documentation: Contact Kaspersky's enterprise security team and ask for their current SOC 2 Type II report and ISO 27001 certificate — check their trust page at https://kaspersky.com/security first, as some vendors publish these documents there or provide them on request via a vendor portal or NDA.

Frequently asked about Kaspersky

Is Kaspersky safe to use as a vendor?+
Kaspersky can be evaluated for vendor safety by checking sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), verifying business registration through legal entity registries like GLEIF, scanning for adverse media coverage including data breaches and regulatory actions, and assessing domain security and cyber risk posture. ThirdProof automates this entire investigation across 24 intelligence sources and produces a deterministic risk tier (1-5 scale) with a confidence score. Run a free investigation to see Kaspersky's full risk profile.
Does Kaspersky have SOC 2 certification?+
To verify whether Kaspersky holds SOC 2 certification, ThirdProof scans the vendor's trust page and security documentation for certification claims, then cross-references those claims against independent registries where available (such as the FedRAMP Marketplace for FedRAMP authorization). Certifications are classified as independently verified, vendor attested, or not found in evidence — ensuring you know the verification level of each claim.
Is Kaspersky FedRAMP authorized?+
Based on ThirdProof's investigation, Kaspersky is not currently listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. Organizations with federal compliance requirements should verify this directly and consider alternative vendors with FedRAMP authorization where required.
Has Kaspersky had any data breaches?+
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 involving Kaspersky. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification. The investigation also checks SEC EDGAR for enforcement-related filings and FDIC records for financial institution failures, providing a comprehensive public record review.
Is Kaspersky on any sanctions lists?+
ThirdProof screens Kaspersky against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives from similar names. If Kaspersky or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers an automatic escalation to the highest risk tier. No sanctions match is confirmed through a clean screening report in the investigation output.
How do I assess Kaspersky for vendor risk?+
ThirdProof investigates Kaspersky autonomously in under 2 minutes using 24 intelligence sources — no questionnaires, no vendor participation required. The investigation covers sanctions screening, cyber risk scoring, business registration, adverse media, domain security, and more. Reports are formatted for SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and CMMC compliance frameworks. Your first investigation is free.
