Web chat accessibility testing
Zoho tests its web chat functionality as part of its broader accessibility assurance programme aligned with WCAG 2.2 AA. Testing includes validation of web chat interfaces with assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard-only navigation and screen magnification tools to ensure users can initiate, read and respond to chat interactions without barriers.

Testing activities focus on keyboard operability, logical focus order, accessible labelling, readable notifications, colour contrast and compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies. Automated accessibility testing tools are complemented by manual testing carried out by trained internal teams to identify issues that require human assessment.

Accessibility testing is incorporated into the development and quality assurance lifecycle for web-based features, including web chat, to ensure updates do not introduce regressions. Issues identified through testing or user feedback are logged, prioritised and remediated as part of ongoing product improvements.

While Zoho does not run customer-specific assistive technology trials for each deployment, accessibility validation is consistently applied across the platform to support inclusive use of web chat functionality for all users.

Description of customisation
Zoho One can be customised to reflect an organisation’s processes, structures and reporting requirements across included applications. Customisation options vary by application but commonly include custom fields, page layouts, workflows, approval processes, dashboards, reports, user roles and permissions.

Authorised users can customise the service through the web-based administrative interface using configuration tools and low-code capabilities. This includes modifying data models, automating processes, creating custom views and reports, and tailoring user experiences without requiring code. Where required, APIs and scripting tools can be used to extend or integrate functionality, subject to application support.

Customisation is controlled through role-based access. Typically, system administrators or designated configuration users are responsible for making and governing changes. End users can personalise aspects such as dashboards, views and notifications within the permissions assigned to them. Core platform settings, security policies and subscription management are restricted to authorised administrative roles to maintain governance, auditability and system integrity.

Scaling

Independence of resources
Zoho One is delivered using a multi-tenant cloud architecture designed to scale automatically and manage demand across users. Resources are logically isolated between customers, and system capacity is monitored continuously to maintain consistent performance. Zoho applies traffic management, load balancing and capacity planning to prevent individual customers’ usage from adversely affecting others. Usage controls and application-level limits are in place to protect service stability and ensure fair use across the platform.

Other protection within supplier network
Zoho protects data within its network using layered security controls. Data stored in Zoho data centres is encrypted at rest using strong encryption standards. Internal traffic between services, storage systems and disaster recovery sites is encrypted to prevent unauthorised access. Zoho operates fully controlled data centres with restricted physical access, continuous monitoring and dedicated security systems. Network protections include firewalls, intrusion detection and prevention, and segmentation to isolate sensitive components and limit lateral movement. Access to production systems is restricted to authorised personnel following strict authentication, logging and approval processes.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Zoho One is delivered using a resilient, distributed cloud infrastructure designed to support high availability and continuity of service. The platform uses redundancy, load balancing and continuous monitoring across its data centre environments to minimise service disruption and maintain consistent performance for users.

Zoho targets a high level of service availability, typically measured at 99.9% uptime, excluding scheduled maintenance and events outside Zoho’s reasonable control. Planned maintenance activities are communicated in advance where possible and are designed to minimise impact on users.

Service availability and historical uptime performance can be monitored through Zoho’s publicly available service status pages, providing transparency into platform health and incident resolution.

Standard Zoho One subscriptions do not include a contractual availability Service Level Agreement (SLA) with financial service credits or refunds if availability targets are not met. Where required, enhanced availability commitments, escalation paths or service credits may be agreed separately through bespoke contractual or support arrangements. This approach allows organisations to align availability commitments with the criticality of their use case and operational requirements.
Approach to resilience
Zoho One is designed with built-in resilience across its application, network and data layers. Application data is stored on resilient storage systems and replicated across geographically separate data centres. Data held in the primary data centre is replicated to a secondary site in near real time. In the event the primary site becomes unavailable, services can fail over to the secondary data centre, supporting continuity of operations with minimal disruption.

Zoho’s data centre environments use multiple independent internet service providers and incorporate redundant networking, compute and storage components to reduce single points of failure. Physical resilience controls include redundant power supplies, backup generators, environmental and temperature controls, and fire detection and suppression systems.

Zoho maintains documented Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery plans covering critical services, infrastructure management and customer support operations. These plans are reviewed and tested periodically to validate recovery procedures and ensure ongoing service resilience. Further information on datacentre locations, certifications and resilience controls can be provided on request.
Outage reporting
Zoho reports service outages and operational issues through multiple channels to ensure transparency and timely communication.

A public service status dashboard is available, showing the real-time operational status of Zoho services, including Zoho One and its underlying applications. The dashboard provides current status, incident updates and recent outage history, allowing users to independently verify service availability.

Zoho also supports email notifications for service incidents and planned maintenance. Users can subscribe to receive alerts when service status changes or when maintenance activities are scheduled, helping organisations proactively manage operational impact.

While Zoho does not currently provide a dedicated outage-reporting API, status information is publicly accessible and can be monitored using third-party status aggregation or alerting tools if required.

In addition, customers can raise or track incidents through Zoho’s support channels, where updates and guidance are provided during service disruptions affecting their environment.

Identity and authentication

User authentication needed
Yes
User authentication
  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
  • Identity federation with existing provider (for example Google Apps)

Access restrictions in management interfaces and support channels
Zoho restricts access to management interfaces and support environments through least-privilege and role-based permissions. Only authorised personnel may access production systems, and authentication requires strong passwords, multi-factor authentication and the use of hardened devices on a segregated administrative network. All administrative actions are logged and periodically audited. Support staff do not have direct access to customer data unless explicitly authorised for a specific support request. Any access is logged, monitored and governed by strict internal policies. These controls prevent unauthorised access and ensure management interfaces and support channels remain secure and controlled.

Other security governance standards
Other standards include ISO/IEC 27701, ISO/IEC 27017, ISO/IEC 27018, SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA-compliant controls for eligible services, and CSA STAR Level 1 certification. These frameworks cover privacy management, cloud security, protection of personal data, independent assurance reporting, and cloud control transparency.
Information security policies and processes
Zoho maintains a comprehensive information security management programme aligned with ISO/IEC 27001, supported by additional standards including ISO/IEC 27017, ISO/IEC 27018, ISO/IEC 27701 and SOC 2 Type II. This programme establishes the policies, procedures and technical controls used to protect customer data from unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure or loss.

Zoho’s documented policies cover areas such as access control, encryption, asset management, physical security, secure development, incident response, vulnerability management, supplier management and data privacy. Policies extend to employee responsibilities, acceptable use requirements and confidentiality obligations. These documents are communicated to staff during onboarding and reinforced through mandatory periodic training.

Information security governance is managed by Zoho’s central Security and Compliance team, which reports into senior leadership. Control owners are designated across engineering, operations, support and facilities teams, with responsibility for implementing and monitoring relevant controls. Zoho conducts internal reviews, technical monitoring, access audits and risk assessments to ensure policies are followed.

Policies are formally reviewed at least annually or whenever significant operational or regulatory changes occur. Compliance with Zoho’s information security policies is independently validated through recurring external audits for ISO and SOC certifications.

These processes ensure consistent alignment with industry best practices and regulatory expectations.
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
Zoho follows documented configuration and change management processes aligned with ISO/IEC 27001 and SOC 2 controls. Service components are recorded in configuration repositories where ownership, versions and lifecycle status are tracked. All changes are assessed for security and privacy impact, reviewed by appropriate approvers and implemented with defined rollback procedures. Audit logs are maintained for traceability. High-risk or service-affecting changes receive additional security review. Emergency changes follow an expedited but controlled workflow. Zoho notifies customers of changes that may materially affect their use of the service. These processes ensure controlled, secure and traceable updates to the platform.
Vulnerability management type
Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
Zoho operates a structured vulnerability management process using certified third-party scanners, internal security tools and periodic automated and manual penetration testing. Potential threats are identified through continuous monitoring, vulnerability feeds, public advisories, security mailing lists and industry threat-intelligence sources. When a vulnerability is detected, it is logged, assessed for severity and risk, and assigned to an owner. Critical vulnerabilities are prioritised for immediate remediation, and patches or mitigating controls are deployed as quickly as possible following validation. All remediation activity is tracked to closure, with verification performed by the security team to ensure the issue has been resolved.
Protective monitoring type
Complies with a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v4.0 or SSAE-18 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
Zoho monitors its services using centralised logging, automated alerting and continuous analysis of events across applications, network traffic and system activity. Logs include access, audit, administrator and security events, which are stored securely and monitored for anomalies such as unusual authentication behaviour or unauthorised access attempts. When a potential compromise is identified, alerts are escalated to the Security Incident Response Team for investigation. Incidents are assessed, contained and remediated according to severity, with high-risk events addressed immediately. Zoho follows documented incident response procedures and tracks each incident through to closure, including post-incident review.
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
Zoho maintains documented incident management procedures for common security, privacy and service events. Incidents are logged, categorised and handled by Zoho’s Security Incident Response Team using predefined investigation, containment and recovery workflows.

Users can report security or privacy incidents directly via email, where they receive high-priority attention. Other service-related issues can be raised through standard support channels.

When an incident affects a customer, Zoho provides notifications and a summary reports outlining the event, impact and corrective actions. Broad service incidents are communicated through service announcements, status pages or community channels.

Post-incident reviews help prevent recurrence.

ISO/IEC 27001 accreditation date
Wednesday 3 September 2025
What the ISO/IEC 27001 doesn’t cover
ISO/IEC 27001 certifies our Information Security Management System (ISMS) and confirms that we have appropriate governance, controls, and continual improvement processes in place to manage information security risks within the defined scope of certification.

The certification does not certify individual products or specific technical features in isolation. Instead, it applies to the management framework, policies, processes, and controls that govern how information security is implemented and operated across our in-scope services.

Activities, systems, or services outside the formally defined ISMS scope are not covered by the ISO/IEC 27001 certification. This may include third-party services or infrastructure not operated or controlled by us, or internal systems not directly involved in the delivery of certified services.

ISO/IEC 27001 also does not replace or automatically include other standards (such as ISO/IEC 27017 or ISO/IEC 27018 - Which Zoho Corporation has obtained both certifications), which address cloud-specific controls and protection of personally identifiable information and are assessed separately where applicable.

What the ISO 9001 doesn’t cover
ISO 9001:2015 certifies our Quality Management System (QMS) and confirms that we have defined, implemented, and continually improved processes to ensure consistent service delivery within the certified scope.

The certification does not certify individual products, features, or technical performance in isolation. It focuses on the management framework for quality rather than guaranteeing specific service outcomes, configurations, or performance levels for individual services.

Activities, systems, or services outside the formally defined QMS scope are not covered by the ISO 9001 certification. This may include third-party services, customer-managed configurations, or internal processes not directly involved in the delivery and support of in-scope services.

ISO 9001 also does not address information security, privacy, or data protection controls, which are covered separately under standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 and related certifications.
Quality management systems (QMS)

CSA STAR certification
Yes
CSA STAR accreditation date
Monday 4 August 2025
CSA STAR certification level
Level 1: CSA STAR Self-Assessment
What the CSA STAR doesn’t cover
Zoho’s listing in the CSA Security, Trust & Assurance Registry (STAR) is based on a STAR Level 1 Self-Assessment, which documents how our cloud security controls align with the Cloud Security Alliance Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM).

The STAR self-assessment applies to the security control framework and governance practices for our cloud services. It does not certify individual products, specific service configurations, or customer-managed settings in isolation.

Activities or services outside the scope of the published STAR self-assessment, including customer-controlled configurations, integrations with third-party services, or infrastructure not operated or controlled by Zoho, are not covered.

CSA STAR also does not replace other standards covering information security, privacy, or quality management, which are addressed separately through certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 and related standards.

In summary, CSA STAR provides transparency into our cloud security controls within scope, but not independent certification or coverage of out-of-scope services or configurations.

If you use assistive technology (such as a screen reader) and need versions of these documents in a more accessible format, email the supplier at zohouk-gcloud@eu.zohocorp.com. Tell them what format you need. It will help if you say what assistive technology you use.
