Yes. Cognition (formerly Codeium) is ISO/IEC 27001 certified for Windsurf, the international information-security management standard.

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.

ISO/IEC 27001
Confirmed
Cognition (formerly Codeium) reports ISO/IEC 27001 certification. Ask for scope and current certificate dates before treating it as supplier assurance.
SOC 2
Confirmed
Cognition (formerly Codeium) also reports a SOC 2 attestation, which can complement but does not replace ISO scope evidence.
Default data training
Opt-out required
Cognition may use customer data for model training by default; the free tier has no stated opt-out.
Business-tier training
No by default
Paid tiers can opt out (which also enables Zero Data Retention); Enterprise carries a no-training guarantee.
Practical risk: Cognition holds SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001, but Windsurf's own terms say customer code may be used for training by default; the opt-out with Zero Data Retention is available only on paid tiers, and free-tier users have no documented opt-out. HIPAA and EU residency are unconfirmed.

How to make a decision

Check the precise account tier, written contract and intended data before approving Windsurf. 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.
