title: Certifications & Trust
description: Certification status, the shared-responsibility model, and what a procurement team can request today.
---

This page is the current reference for Fil One's security and compliance posture: where certification stands, which controls are live in the product today, and how responsibility divides between Fil One and the storage operators behind it.

:::note Looking for WORM immutability?
"Compliance" also names a specific Object Lock retention mode in Fil One. If you are here for immutable storage, retention periods, or legal holds, see [Object Lock](/storage/object-lock). This page is about certification status and security posture.
:::

## Certification status

**SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 are actively being pursued.** Fil One does not hold either certification today, and holds no third-party compliance attestation for any feature, including the SEC 17a-4 assessments often asked about for WORM retention workloads.

For where that work currently stands, contact [security@fil.one](mailto:security@fil.one).

## Controls in place today

These are live in the product and open to your own review:

| Area | What is in place |
|------|------------------|
| **Authentication** | Passkeys (the primary method), Google, GitHub, and email with password. |
| **Multi-factor** | Opt-in per user: authenticator apps (TOTP), WebAuthn security keys, and device biometrics. SMS is deliberately not offered. |
| **Access control** | Access keys scoped to a single region and to specific permissions (Read, Write, List, Delete), optionally restricted to named buckets, with optional expiry dates. |
| **Encryption** | Always on, at rest and in transit. TLS is enforced and HTTP is rejected. It cannot be disabled. |
| **Retention (WORM)** | Object Lock in Governance and Compliance modes, from 1 day to 100 years. A Compliance-mode lock binds every caller, including the account owner. |

Detail on each: [API Keys](/security/api-keys), [Encryption](/security/encryption), [Object Lock](/storage/object-lock).

## Demonstrating a control is in force

Auditors usually want evidence, not a statement that a feature exists. What you can produce yourself today:

| To show | Call | Returns |
|---------|------|---------|
| A specific object version is under retention | `GetObjectRetention` | The retention mode (`GOVERNANCE` or `COMPLIANCE`) and its `RetainUntilDate` |
| A bucket's default retention policy | `GetBucketObjectLockConfiguration` | The mode and duration applied to new object versions |
| A legal hold is active on an object | `GetObjectLegalHold` | The hold status |
| Versioning is enabled on a bucket | `GetBucketVersioning` | `Enabled` |

`GetObjectRetention` and `GetBucketObjectLockConfiguration` work in both regions. `GetObjectLegalHold` is confirmed in `us-east-1` and not yet confirmed in `eu-west-1`. The reads require the matching access-key permissions, which are selectable when you create a key rather than granted by default: see [API Keys](/security/api-keys).

A failed delete is also evidence in itself. Attempting to delete an object under active retention returns `403 AccessDenied`, which is reproducible on demand.

What you **cannot** produce is a per-object cryptographic artefact (see [Scope of what Fil One claims](#scope-of-what-fil-one-claims)).

## Shared responsibility

Storage is fulfilled by regional operators on the Filecoin network, so a review needs to know which layer owns what:

| Layer | Operated by | Responsible for |
|-------|-------------|-----------------|
| Console, API, identity, billing | **Fil One** | Authentication, access-key issuance and scoping, multi-factor enrolment, the dashboard, request authorization, subscription state |
| Regional S3 storage gateway | **Regional storage operator** | Serving object data, applying server-side encryption at rest, custody of encryption keys |
| Underlying storage network | **Filecoin storage providers** | Holding data and producing the network's proof-of-storage |

The practical consequence for a security review: encryption at rest is applied and keyed by the regional storage operator, so there is no customer-managed-key or SSE-C option, and the cipher in use is set by that operator. If your requirements turn on the exact scheme, or on who holds key material for a given region, contact support and we will route the question to the operator for your region.

## Who to ask

- **Fil One's own controls** (authentication, access keys, the console): [security@fil.one](mailto:security@fil.one).
- **The storage gateway's encryption implementation or key custody:** contact support and we will route the question to the regional operator.

## Scope of what Fil One claims

Stated here so it does not have to be inferred:

- **Proof-of-storage is a network property.** Filecoin storage providers continuously prove they still hold the data they committed to store. Fil One does not surface per-object content identifiers, deal IDs, or seal state, so there is no per-object artefact to hand an auditor. See [How does Filecoin protect the integrity of stored data?](/faq).
- **Named regulations describe use cases, not certifications.** Where these docs mention SEC 17a-4, FINRA, HIPAA or similar, they describe a scenario the underlying capability supports. Whether a given feature satisfies a specific obligation is a determination for your own compliance review.

# Certifications & Trust

Source: https://docs.fil.one/security/certifications-and-trust

Certification status and security posture. NOT the Object Lock "Compliance"
retention mode, which is a separate feature (see Object Lock).

## Certification status

SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 are actively being pursued. Fil One does not hold
either certification today, and holds no third-party compliance attestation for
any feature, including the SEC 17a-4 assessments often asked about for WORM
retention workloads. Contact security@fil.one for where that work stands.

## Controls in place today

| Area | What is in place |
|------|------------------|
| Authentication | Passkeys (primary method), Google, GitHub, email with password. |
| Multi-factor | Opt-in per user: authenticator apps (TOTP), WebAuthn security keys, device biometrics. SMS deliberately not offered. |
| Access control | Access keys scoped to a single region and to specific permissions (Read, Write, List, Delete), optionally restricted to named buckets, with optional expiry. |
| Encryption | Always on, at rest and in transit. TLS enforced, HTTP rejected, cannot be disabled. |
| Retention (WORM) | Object Lock in Governance and Compliance modes, 1 day to 100 years. A Compliance-mode lock binds every caller including the account owner. |

## Demonstrating a control is in force

Auditors want evidence, not a statement that a feature exists. Producible by the
customer today:

| To show | Call | Returns |
|---------|------|---------|
| An object version is under retention | GetObjectRetention | Mode (GOVERNANCE/COMPLIANCE) and RetainUntilDate |
| A bucket's default retention policy | GetBucketObjectLockConfiguration | Mode and duration applied to new versions |
| A legal hold is active | GetObjectLegalHold | Hold status |
| Versioning is enabled | GetBucketVersioning | Enabled |

GetObjectRetention and GetBucketObjectLockConfiguration work in both regions.
GetObjectLegalHold is confirmed in us-east-1, not yet confirmed in eu-west-1.
These reads need the matching access-key permissions, which are selectable at
key creation rather than granted by default. A failed delete is also evidence:
deleting an object under active retention returns 403 AccessDenied, reproducible
on demand. What CANNOT be produced is a per-object cryptographic artefact.

## Shared responsibility

| Layer | Operated by | Responsible for |
|-------|-------------|-----------------|
| Console, API, identity, billing | Fil One | Authentication, access-key issuance and scoping, multi-factor enrolment, dashboard, request authorization, subscription state |
| Regional S3 storage gateway | Regional storage operator | Serving object data, applying server-side encryption at rest, custody of encryption keys |
| Underlying storage network | Filecoin storage providers | Holding data and producing the network's proof-of-storage |

Practical consequence: encryption at rest is applied and keyed by the regional
storage operator, so there is no customer-managed-key or SSE-C option and the
cipher in use is set by that operator. Questions turning on the exact scheme or
on key custody for a region go to support, who route them to the operator.

## Who to ask

Fil One's own controls (authentication, access keys, the console):
security@fil.one. The storage gateway's encryption implementation or key
custody: contact support, who route to the regional operator.

## Scope of what Fil One claims

- Proof-of-storage is a NETWORK property. Filecoin providers continuously prove
they still hold committed data, but Fil One does not surface per-object content
identifiers, deal IDs, or seal state, so there is no per-object artefact to
hand an auditor.
- Named regulations describe USE CASES, not certifications. Where these docs
mention SEC 17a-4, FINRA, HIPAA or similar, they describe a scenario the
underlying capability supports. Whether a feature satisfies a specific
obligation is a determination for your own compliance review.
