Honeycomb is committed to maintaining best practices for ensuring security, availability, and confidentiality, so we maintain and meet the requirements for multiple compliance frameworks and certifications.
Our product and services are vetted by independent security professionals, and we give our customers the right to audit. To learn more, visit our Terms of Service on honeycomb.io. For enterprise customers, we also provide audit logging, which allows you to see who or what caused changes to specific resource configurations.

Honeycomb complies with various regulatory frameworks that exist on national and international levels.
Honeycomb is GDPR compliant, and we offer a standard data processing agreement through our Terms of Service. For enterprise customers who have compliance requirements under GDPR, we will also enter into a more comprehensive data processing agreement.
Customers may choose a US-based or an EU-based location where Honeycomb will store the data they send.
Customers can access the US data location via https://ui.honeycomb.io (for the UI) and https://api.honeycomb.io (for the API). Customers can access the EU location at https://ui.eu1.honeycomb.io (for the UI) and https://api.eu1.honeycomb.io (for the API).
Unlike some other vendors, Honeycomb only has access to the telemetry data that customers send. To learn how to avoid sending PII via OpenTelemetry, visit Scrubbing Sensitive Information. To learn how to mask PII using the OpenTelemetry Collector, visit Securing the OpenTelemetry Collector.

As defined by the US HIPAA and HITECH legislation, Honeycomb is considered a Business Associate. We will sign a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Pro/Enterprise customers who have compliance requirements under HIPAA/HITECH.
Honeycomb security controls are specifically designed for customers dealing with sensitive data like PHI. To reduce PHI transfer, we also strongly encourage customers to replace names and emails with an obfuscated external ID number.

Although Honeycomb as a service is not intended to process payment card information for customers, we use a well-known payment processor and complete a Self Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) and Attestation of Compliance (AOC) biannually.
Honeycomb voluntarily conforms to additional compliance frameworks to ensure we evolve robust processes and establish a strong security posture.
Every year, Honeycomb undergoes an independent audit for our SOC 2 Type II report, which verifies our consistent application of the AICPA trust principles. We can provide a copy of our SOC 2 report upon request to customers who have agreed to our Terms of Service.
As part of our SOC 2 program, we regularly undergo penetration testing by an independent security firm and can provide a summary to customers as required.
