• Software Security Code of Practice: Yes

Operational security

• Configuration and change management standard: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Configuration and change management approach: CyberArk tracks all service components through their lifecycle using an IT Service Management (ITSM) system and maintains documented baseline configurations under configuration control. Every change request includes details of impact, risks, and affected environments, and is reviewed by the Change Advisory Board (CAB). Changes are tested in non-production environments and scheduled during maintenance windows to minimize disruption. Security impact is assessed during planning, with rollback plans and separation of environments enforced. Baseline configurations are reviewed at least annually or after significant changes to ensure compliance and security integrity.
• Vulnerability management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Vulnerability management approach: As opposed to other cloud service providers who only provide a service but use 3rd-party technologies, CyberArk developed all the technologies it uses from scratch and only uses standard servers and routers (no 3rd-party technologies). This allows much more flexibility and rapid reaction to new threats and attack vectors as we do not have to wait for updates and patches – we do them ourselves immediately. In order to fight todays sophisticated and constantly changing attack patterns we have CyberArk’s 24x7 SOC - manned with security experts that can handle any attack in real time.
• Protective monitoring type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Protective monitoring approach: CyberArk operates continuous monitoring of production systems, applications, and privileged activities through centralised logging, SIEM integration, and advanced threat detection. Potential compromises are identified using anomaly detection, rule-based alerts, and behavioural analytics across identity and privileged access events. When a threat is detected, predefined incident response procedures are triggered, including isolating affected accounts, notifying security teams, and applying containment measures. Automated responses ensure rapid mitigation. CyberArk’s Incident Response Policy requires immediate containment and prompt customer notification, in line with SOC 2 and ISO 27001 standards, ensuring swift and effective resolution without undue delay.
• Incident management type: Complies with a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v4.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
• Incident management approach: We have defined process of incident response and an incident response team whose responsibilities include: Analysis of the security issue risk (based on Severity Matrix and CVSS), remediation and recommendation. SLA of handling the issue according to the risk level. In case the decision is to fix, the fix is like any standard feature\bug development, including validation (QA) and automation. Security bulletin - in case a security issue found risky, and requires patch, we have a mechanism of publishing "security bulleting" to our customers. This bulletin contains explanation of the issue, and mitigation steps (including patch if needed).
