Executive Summary

AI-generated analysis for Fastly

Fastly is a publicly traded, enterprise-grade content delivery network (CDN) and cloud infrastructure provider with a 23-year domain history and a clean threat intelligence profile across 94 security engines.

Area Requiring Attention

The rule engine has assigned a Tier 3 (Moderate Risk) rating, driven primarily by an imminent TLS certificate expiration on fastly.com and five vendor-attested compliance certifications that could not be independently confirmed through public registries. No sanctions matches, adverse media, malware flags, or enforcement actions were identified. For a retail or e-commerce organization, the unverified PCI DSS Level 1 Service Provider claim is the most consequential gap, as formal documentation of PCI compliance status is required under PCI-DSS 4.0 Requirement 12.8 for any TPSP in or adjacent to the cardholder data environment.

Independence Statement

All evidence in this report was sourced independently by ThirdProof from external data sources without vendor participation or notification.

Steps to address findings for Fastly

  1. 1

    Obtain Fastly's PCI DSS Level 1 Attestation of Compliance (AoC) within 10 business days — contact your Fastly account manager or submit a request via https://fastly.com/compliance. This document is required for your TPSP file under PCI-DSS 4.0 Requirement 12.8.2 and will be requested by your QSA during assessment fieldwork.

  2. 2

    Request the most recent SOC 2 Type II report — ask your Fastly account manager directly, or check https://fastly.com/compliance where many enterprise vendors provide NDA-gated access. Confirm the audit period covers the current calendar year.

  3. 3

    Confirm TLS certificate renewal status for fastly.com within 5 business days by contacting Fastly support or your account team. The current certificate expires March 29, 2026. If you serve traffic through Fastly-managed TLS on your own domains, separately verify auto-renewal is active in the Fastly TLS Management console.

  4. 4

    Execute a GDPR Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and CCPA Service Provider Addendum with Fastly if not already in place — Fastly publishes standard DPA templates; contact your account manager or legal team to initiate. This is required for any EU consumer data and for CCPA compliance.

  5. 5

    Document the Fastly shared responsibility matrix for PCI controls — using Fastly's published compliance documentation and your own assessment, map which PCI-DSS 4.0 requirements are satisfied by Fastly (e.g., network segmentation, encryption in transit) versus those your organization retains. This is required under PCI-DSS 12.8.5.

  6. 6

    Attempt to retrieve Fastly's structured subprocessor list — the page at https://compliance.fastly.com/subprocessors exists but could not be parsed. Access it manually, document the subprocessors relevant to your deployment, and verify none appear on OFAC or EU sanctions lists.

Data Coverage Notes

Some data sources may have had limited availability during this assessment. This does not reflect negatively on the vendor.

  • Deep SSL/TLS cipher and protocol configuration analysis was not available for this assessment; the TLS certificate expiration finding is based on certificate metadata only, and cipher suite security (e.g., TLS 1.0/1.1 deprecation status) could not be assessed.
  • Certificate transparency log analysis was not available, limiting the ability to enumerate all subdomains and identify shadow or misconfigured certificates issued under the fastly.com domain.
  • Web archive history data was not available, which would otherwise have provided additional corroboration of domain establishment continuity.
  • Fastly's published subprocessor page at compliance.fastly.com was located but no structured subprocessor entries could be extracted due to a non-standard page format; supply chain risk assessment of Fastly's own subprocessors is therefore incomplete.
  • External cyber risk scoring was not available for this assessment, which would typically provide an additional quantitative signal on infrastructure hygiene and patching posture.
  • The Legal Entity Registry LEI match returned 'FASTLY INVERSIONES SL' (LEI: 894500K1O2ZL315BAR81), a Spanish entity, which does not correspond to Fastly, Inc. (NYSE: FSLY), the US-headquartered CDN provider. This LEI should not be relied upon as confirmation of the entity under investigation.

Can I get an auto-filled security questionnaire for Fastly?+

The questionnaire is mapped to SIG, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS and 9 other frameworks — answered without sending Fastly a single email or waiting for a vendor response.
Is Fastly safe to use as a vendor?+
Fastly is a CDN vendor that handles organizational data. Safety depends on their current security posture, certification status, and how they handle your specific data. ThirdProof automates this evaluation across 27 intelligence sources — sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), business registration verification, adverse media scanning, and cyber risk assessment — producing a deterministic risk tier with confidence score plus an auto-filled security questionnaire. Run a free investigation to see Fastly's full risk profile.
Does Fastly have SOC 2 certification?+
Yes — Fastly holds SOC 2 + 4 other certs. Rated Moderate Risk — TLS certificate expiring soon. See all 5 findings →
Has Fastly had any data breaches?+
Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly CDN platforms like Fastly that handle organizational data. ThirdProof's adverse media analysis searches multiple news APIs and public records for data breaches, security incidents, lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, and financial distress signals. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification.
Is Fastly on any sanctions lists?+
Sanctions screening is standard due diligence for CDN vendors. ThirdProof screens Fastly against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If Fastly or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.
How do I assess Fastly for vendor risk?+
Assessing Fastly as a CDN vendor involves verifying SOC 2 Type II and applicable industry standards compliance, reviewing their subprocessor chain, and checking sanctions exposure. ThirdProof automates this across 27 intelligence sources in an average of 7 minutes — no questionnaires or vendor participation required. Your first 5 investigations are free.
How long does a ThirdProof assessment take?+
A ThirdProof assessment completes in an average of 7 minutes. 27 intelligence sources are queried in parallel — sanctions databases, business registries, threat intelligence feeds, certificate transparency logs, and more. The result is a deterministic risk tier with confidence score and audit-ready PDF report.
Is ThirdProof free?+
ThirdProof offers 5 free vendor assessments with no credit card required. Each assessment includes the full report — risk tier, confidence score, individual findings, executive summary, and PDF export. Paid plans start at $399/month for teams that need ongoing vendor monitoring.
Can I use a ThirdProof report as SOC 2 audit evidence?+
Yes. ThirdProof reports are designed to satisfy SOC 2 CC9.2 (vendor risk management) requirements. Each report includes SHA-256 integrity verification, methodology disclosure, source attribution for every finding, and AI content labeling. Auditors can independently verify the report's authenticity and trace each finding to its original source.
How is ThirdProof different from a security questionnaire?+
Security questionnaires require vendor participation, take weeks, and produce self-reported answers. ThirdProof queries 27 independent intelligence sources — no vendor involvement needed. Risk tiers are assigned by a deterministic rules engine (not AI opinion), and every finding links to its original source. You get an audit-ready report in an average of 7 minutes instead of waiting weeks for a questionnaire response.

Fastly is in your vendor stack. Can you prove you assessed them?

SOC 2 CC9.2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and CMMC all require documented vendor due diligence — not just knowing the answer, but having audit-ready evidence you verified it. Most compliance teams can't produce that documentation on demand.

ThirdProof investigates Fastly across 27 intelligence sources in an average of 7 minutes — sanctions screening, cyber posture, SOC 2 verification, FedRAMP status, and more. Every investigation produces two deliverables: an audit-ready risk report and an auto-filled security questionnaire your prospects and auditors expect to see.
