We take security very seriously and commit to doing everything in our power to keep your data safe and private. We use industry-standard encryption and integrate with GitHub's own Open Authentication (OAUTH) system. At no point do we have access to your GitHub credentials, and at no point do we ever read any of your code, your branches, or the contents of your issues or Pull Requests. Please refer to our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy for more details.Early in 2022, we announced Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2) Type I compliance. A few months later, we’re pleased to announce that Zenhub has received its SOC 2 Type II certification. A SOC 2 certification audits how a cloud-based service provider handles sensitive information. Considered the gold standard for security compliance, SOC 2 audits are conducted by an independent third party who is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or CPA firm, and use the criteria outlined by the AICPA. SOC 2 Type I assesses the design of controls and security processes at a point in time. SOC 2 Type II validates the efficacy of these controls by monitoring them in operation for three to six months and note any exceptions.Achieving SOC 2 Type I accreditation, which Zenhub achieved in April 2022, means that our infrastructure, development practices, and management processes meet (or exceed) required levels of oversight and monitoring and that we can detect and address issues quickly and reliably. In July 2022, Zenhub achieved SOC 2 Type II, with zero exceptions, which further validated our controls and security framework, attesting to our operational effectiveness in responding to system vulnerabilities.Learn more about Zenhub’s commitment to privacy and security in this video.

You don’t need a GitHub account to use Zenhub. However, currently you can only get access to all of Zenhub’s features when you connect Zenhub with a GitHub account. Those who don’t connect with GitHub can still use some of Zenhub’s features, such as viewing high-level roadmaps, tracking the progress of epics and projects in their organization, or creating and using Zenhub Issues. Signing up for Zehub without a GitHub account is ideal for non-technical team members who still want some visibility into the software development process. We’re continuously working towards bringing more of our most loved features to non-GitHub users. Stay tuned!
