Published certifications

None found / not verified. This is not a finding that ValidMind lacks certifications; ask the vendor for documentation.

Docs state controls are "designed to align with" SOC 2 requirements; that is not a stated SOC 2 report, so it is not counted. Ask the vendor for its current report.
