Privy runs identity and signature infrastructure. How that infrastructure is built, governed and examined is part of the product, not a footnote to it. This page sets out what is independently verified, what we do with data, and what we will tell you when something goes wrong.
Anyone can describe their own security. The statements below are backed by external audit programmes and certification bodies, which means a third party examined the controls and issued a finding.
for Certification Authorities
An independent audit programme for certificate authorities, covering how digital certificates are issued, managed and revoked.
A signature is only as trustworthy as the authority behind the certificate. This is the audit that examines that authority — not a claim Privy makes about itself.
certified by TÜV Rheinland
The international standard for information security management — how security risk is identified, controlled and reviewed.
Your security team will ask how risk is governed, not whether a firewall exists. This is the answer they are trained to read, from a certification body they already recognise.
certified by BSI
The privacy extension to ISO/IEC 27001, covering how personal information is handled throughout its life cycle.
Identity data is the most sensitive thing a person can hand over. This covers how it is collected, used, retained and deleted — the questions a privacy review actually asks.
presentation attack detection · ISO/IEC 30107-3
Independent laboratory testing of liveness detection against presentation attacks — recorded faces, masks, replays — to the ISO/IEC 30107-3 standard, at Level 2.
Liveness is where identity fraud attacks first. This is an independent lab trying to break it with spoofs and replays — and the check holding, not a vendor benchmark.

Ask our teamSecurity is managed as a programme with defined controls, owners and review cycles — certified to ISO/IEC 27001:2022.
Risks are identified, assigned an owner, controlled and reviewed on a schedule. The certification covers the management system itself, not a single product feature.
Identity data and documents are encrypted while moving between systems and while stored.
Internal access to customer data is restricted to the roles that need it, and access events are recorded.
Privy operates as a certificate authority. The way certificates are issued, managed and revoked is audited under the WebTrust programme.
WebTrust for Certification Authorities is an independent audit programme covering the practices behind certificate issuance, lifecycle management and revocation.
Actions that affect trust — issuing, suspending or revoking a certificate — are recorded with the authority under which they were taken.
Changes to infrastructure that carries trust decisions go through review rather than direct modification.
Identity data is the most sensitive data a person can share. Handling of personal information is certified to ISO/IEC 27701.
Personal information is processed for the purpose it was collected for, and that purpose is stated rather than implied.
Organisations using Privy can align retention to their own policy rather than accepting a single default.
Privy Digital Identity is designed so the individual decides which platform receives which attributes, each time.
A trust claim you cannot examine later is not much of a claim. Every verification and every signature produces a durable record.
Each action carries what was done, when, and on whose authority — available when an agreement is questioned, not reconstructed afterwards.
A verification result is accompanied by the checks that produced it, so a reviewer can see why the system decided as it did.
Records can be retrieved for internal review, audit or dispute resolution.
