Is ChatGPT SOC 2 compliant?
YesOpenAI · AI assistants
Yes. OpenAI holds a SOC 2 report covering ChatGPT, which gives independent assurance over its security controls.
What we checked
This assessment separates the consumer product from any business plan. It uses the vendor documents linked below; an unverified item is not a pass.
- SOC 2 report
- Confirmed
- OpenAI reports a SOC 2 attestation. Request the current report and relevant bridge letter during procurement.
- ISO 27001
- Confirmed
- OpenAI also reports ISO/IEC 27001 certification.
- Default data training
- Opt-out required
- On free/Plus consumer ChatGPT, conversations are used to improve models by default unless you turn off 'Improve the model for everyone' in data controls.
- Business-tier training
- No by default
- OpenAI does not train on inputs or outputs from ChatGPT Team, ChatGPT Enterprise, or the API platform by default.
Practical risk: Consumer/free ChatGPT uses your chats for training unless you proactively disable it, so staff pasting work data into personal accounts can leak it into model improvement.
How to make a decision
Check the precise account tier, written contract and intended data before approving ChatGPT. A security certification, DPA or setting can apply to only part of a vendor's service. Keep the source links with your supplier review and revisit them when the vendor changes its terms.
