Does Vercel's SOC 2 report cover our own SOC 2?

No. Vercel's own SOC 2 report covers the controls Vercel operates for its platform. Your examination covers how your company configures and uses Vercel: who has access, how it is authenticated, what is logged and how data in it is protected. Auditors read the vendor's report to decide what they can rely on, and the Vendor and Third-Party Risk Management Policy tells you to collect it at onboarding and annually.

What does the generator pre-fill when I arrive from this page?

The link on this page opens the generator with a preset that sets the cloud platform to Vercel. The other answers (company, product, headcount, owners, data types, scope and review cadence) are yours to fill in. The policies render in your browser as Markdown; nothing is sent to a server and there is no signup.

Which policies change when I add Vercel to my answers?

6 policies name Vercel once it is in the intake: Access Control Policy, Encryption and Key Management Policy, Change Management Policy, Logging and Monitoring Policy, Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Policy, Network and Infrastructure Security Policy. The free generator names it in scope, roles and procedures; the Audit Kit ($39 one-time) rewrites sections 4 and 5 of each policy with statements specific to how Vercel is configured, like the examples on this page. Refunds are available within 14 days on request.

The 6 policies that reference Vercel

With Vercel in your intake, these policies name it in their scope, roles and procedures. The other 16 policies in the set apply to your company regardless of tooling; the template index lists all 22.

P03 Access Control Policy: Defines how access to systems and data is requested, approved, provisioned, reviewed and removed.
P08 Encryption and Key Management Policy: Sets minimum encryption standards for data in transit and at rest and defines how cryptographic keys, secrets and certificates are generated, stored, rotated and retired.
P09 Change Management Policy: Requires that every change to production code, infrastructure and security-relevant configuration is proposed, reviewed, tested, approved and deployed through a controlled and traceable process.
P12 Logging and Monitoring Policy: Defines which security-relevant events are logged across the product, cloud and corporate systems, how logs are protected and retained, and how alerts are triaged and acted on.
P14 Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Policy: Sets recovery objectives by system tier, defines how a disaster is declared and recovered from, and requires the plan to be tested and maintained.
P20 Network and Infrastructure Security Policy: Defines how the cloud networks, compute and supporting infrastructure behind the product are segmented, hardened, administered and monitored.

What the Audit Kit writes for Vercel

The free generator fills in names. The Audit Kit goes further: Claude rewrites section 4 (Policy Statements) and section 5 (Procedures) of each policy using your full intake, so the text describes Vercel the way you actually run it. The statements below are examples of that output for Vercel; your own answers produce different text, and every statement should be checked against your configuration before management adopts it.

P03 Access Control Policy

Vercel team membership is limited to engineers who deploy the product, the Owner role is held by no more than two named people, and everyone else holds the Member or Viewer role. Deployment Protection with Vercel Authentication is enabled so that preview deployments are visible only to team members, and membership is reconciled against the identity provider at each quarterly access review.

P08 Encryption and Key Management Policy

Production secrets are stored as Sensitive Environment Variables in Vercel, which are encrypted at rest and cannot be read back through the dashboard, API or CLI once created. Variables are scoped per environment (Production, Preview and Development), and no secret is committed to the repository or exposed to the browser through the NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix.

P09 Change Management Policy

Production deployments are created only from the protected main branch through the Vercel Git integration, every pull request receives a Preview Deployment that is reviewed before merge, and Instant Rollback is the documented method for reverting a bad release, with the rollback deployment URL recorded in the change ticket.

P12 Logging and Monitoring Policy

Vercel Log Drains forward build, function and edge request logs to the central logging tool, the team audit log is exported during each quarterly access review, and Vercel Firewall attack challenge notifications are routed to the incident channel.

P14 Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery Policy

Static assets and edge functions are served from Vercel's global edge network with automatic failover, serverless functions run in the region closest to the database with a documented secondary region, and the disaster recovery runbook covers repointing the apex domain to a standby host if Vercel suffers a prolonged regional outage.

P20 Network and Infrastructure Security Policy

The Vercel Firewall is enabled with the managed OWASP ruleset in block mode and rate-limiting rules on authentication and API routes, DDoS mitigation stays in its default enforcing state, and every custom domain uses Vercel-issued TLS certificates with HTTP redirected to HTTPS and a Strict-Transport-Security header.
