Strengthening real-time communication infrastructure with independently verified controls for data security, availability, and privacy.
PubNub, a leading real-time communications platform known for delivering low-latency, event-driven logic across modern application architectures, has announced that it has achieved SOC 3 compliance. This milestone reinforces the company’s continued focus on security, reliability, and transparency as it supports organizations building interactive, real-time digital experiences at global scale.
The SOC 3 report confirms that PubNub’s systems meet the Trust Services Criteria established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) for security, availability, and confidentiality. These criteria evaluate how well a company safeguards data, ensures system uptime, and protects sensitive information from unauthorized access. While a SOC 2 report provides deeper operational details and is typically shared only with existing customers and partners, the SOC 3 report is designed for public distribution. This allows prospective customers, partners, and other stakeholders to independently verify that PubNub adheres to the rigorous controls and best practices defined under the SOC framework.
By achieving SOC 3 compliance, PubNub demonstrates that its infrastructure, processes, and security practices are aligned with industry-recognized standards for protecting customer data and maintaining operational integrity. The certification also serves as a public-facing assurance that the company has undergone independent auditing and validation of its internal controls.
This achievement further strengthens PubNub’s already extensive compliance portfolio. The company also maintains SOC 2 Type 2 certification, which evaluates the effectiveness of its controls over time, as well as ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for information security management. In addition, PubNub’s platform supports compliance with major regulatory frameworks such as HIPAA for healthcare data protection and GDPR for data privacy in the European Union. Together, these certifications highlight PubNub’s comprehensive approach to data protection, privacy, and system reliability.
PubNub’s infrastructure powers secure, real-time interactions for organizations across a wide range of industries, including digital health, sports media, entertainment, gaming, transportation, and e-commerce. Its platform enables developers to build applications that require instant messaging, live updates, presence detection, and event-driven functionality, all while maintaining strong security and compliance standards.
A number of well-known organizations rely on PubNub to deliver dynamic, globally scalable digital experiences. Customers such as Beamable, DAZN, Zillow, DocuSign, and Pocket Gems use the platform to support real-time features in their applications while meeting strict performance, privacy, and compliance requirements.
With the addition of SOC 3 compliance, PubNub continues to strengthen its position as a trusted provider of real-time communication infrastructure, giving organizations greater confidence in the security, transparency, and reliability of the platform as they build and scale next-generation interactive applications.
