Recommended Actions

  1. Request a signed Data Processing Agreement (DPA) and subprocessor list from Palo Alto Networks before processing any EU or California consumer data — contact their privacy team via the form at paloaltonetworks.com/privacy or through your account representative. Store the executed DPA in your TPSP documentation file.
  2. Request Palo Alto Networks' current SOC 2 Type II report — ask their security team directly, check trust.paloaltonetworks.com, or request it through your enterprise agreement. If a SOC 2 is not available for your specific product line, request the scope statement explaining what is covered.
  3. Document shared PCI-DSS control responsibilities: for any Palo Alto Networks product deployed in or adjacent to your cardholder data environment (CDE), request their PCI-DSS Responsibility Matrix or equivalent document outlining which controls they manage versus which your organization must manage. This is required for PCI-DSS 4.0 Requirement 12.8.5 compliance.

Frequently asked about Palo Alto Networks

Is Palo Alto Networks safe to use as a vendor?+
Palo Alto Networks can be evaluated for vendor safety by checking sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), verifying business registration through legal entity registries like GLEIF, scanning for adverse media coverage including data breaches and regulatory actions, and assessing domain security and cyber risk posture. ThirdProof automates this entire investigation across 24 intelligence sources and produces a deterministic risk tier (1-5 scale) with a confidence score. Run a free investigation to see Palo Alto Networks's full risk profile.
Does Palo Alto Networks have SOC 2 certification?+
To verify whether Palo Alto Networks holds SOC 2 certification, ThirdProof scans the vendor's trust page and security documentation for certification claims, then cross-references those claims against independent registries where available (such as the FedRAMP Marketplace for FedRAMP authorization).
