In April 2022, Kaspersky successfully renewed a Service Organization Control for Service Organizations (SOC 2) Type 1 audit, which the company first completed in 2019. The independent assessment was carried out by an international Big Four accounting firm which confirmed that the development and release process of Kaspersky's antivirus bases are protected against unauthorized changes by security controls. The scope of the 2022 audit has been expanded compared to the 2019 assessment, as Kaspersky has since introduced new security tools and controls.
