// Certification ledger
Each held certification is backed by a verbatim quote from the vendor's own trust or security page. “Not confirmed” means we could not verify it publicly, not that the vendor lacks it.

Microsoft attestation states 'Do you carry out annual PCI DSS assessments? N/A'. The Agorapulse security page references PCI DSS Level 1 only as an AWS-infrastructure certification, not as Agorapulse's own. Agorapulse is not a payment processor.

Data processing agreement
Offered
Data region
EU (AWS Ireland as primary cloud provider; ToS states 'as a matter of principle, we do not transfer personal data processed outside the European Union')
AI features are described as fully opt-in. The ToS explicitly states 'Agorapulse shall not modify, copy, distribute, display, perform, reproduce, publish, license, frame, create derivative works from, transfer, or otherwise use in any other way for commercial or public purposes...any of your Data'. Trust center lists a separate 'AI trust and privacy practices - March 2026' document available on request. No public statement explicitly says AI models are not trained on customer data, but the ToS commercial-use prohibition covers this implicitly. No contradictions found between ToS and AI features page.

// What to watch
- The trust center lists 'ISO 42001 Engagement Letter - Agorapulse - 2026.pdf' alongside completed certifications, which could create a misleading impression that the AI governance certification is held. It is not: an engagement letter means the audit process has been initiated, not completed, so ISO 42001 should not be treated as a certification Agorapulse currently holds.
- The Agorapulse security page lists CSA STAR Level 2, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, and PCI DSS Level 1 as AWS infrastructure certifications. These belong to AWS, not to Agorapulse, and a Microsoft attestation confirms Agorapulse itself holds none of them; hosting-provider certifications should not be attributed to the vendor itself.
- The Microsoft 365 App Certification self-attestation states 'Do you report data breaches to supervisory authorities and individuals within 72 hours? No'. This appears to contradict Agorapulse's stated GDPR compliance, which mandates 72-hour supervisory authority notification. It could be a form error or a genuine gap; ask Agorapulse to clarify before relying on breach notification commitments.
- The Microsoft attestation states 'Are all logs reviewed on a regular cadence by human or automated tooling? No'. This is a minor operational security gap for a SOC 2 Type 2 certified vendor and may have been corrected since the August 2025 attestation submission.
- There is no explicit public statement confirming AI models are never trained on customer data; protection currently derives from the terms-of-service prohibition on commercial use of customer data. The 'AI trust and privacy practices - March 2026' document in the trust center is access-gated, so until it can be examined, buyers should assume there is no public explicit opt-out and that AI features are opt-in only.

// How we verified this
Every certification marked HELD is confirmed against a verbatim quote on Agorapulse SAS's own trust, security, or privacy pages. We reject certifications claimed only on third-party aggregators, on a cloud host's behalf, or by a similarly named company.
Last verified 2026-06-29. Compliance changes over time. Always confirm directly with the vendor before relying on any certification for a purchasing or compliance decision.
