Telnyx SOC Compliance & Certification Overview
Telnyx undergoes independent audits to validate its security and compliance controls. These SOC reports provide third-party assurance that Telnyx follows industry-recognized standards around data security, availability, confidentiality, and integrity.
SOC 2 Type I: Evaluates whether the design of controls is appropriate at a specific point in time.
SOC 2 Type II: Assesses whether those controls operate effectively over a defined period.
SOC 3: A high-level, publicly shareable summary of the SOC 2 report.
Telnyx holds SOC certifications covering services such as Programmable Voice, Messaging, Wireless, and Video, demonstrating robust controls across multiple domains.
