Supplier compliance rates

Dual-certification is on the rise, but 45% of SaaS vendors still fail to meet the dual-standard benchmark

While many SaaS vendors hold either SOC2 or ISO 27001, the number holding both has reached 55% – up from 45% in 2025. This shift suggests that vendors are finally closing the gap between individual certifications to meet more rigorous procurement demands.

Monitoring vendor compliance helps avoid regulatory penalties by ensuring suppliers don’t undermine your security or data privacy frameworks.

Categories like Monitoring (99%) and Project Management (98%) show near-perfect compliance, as they handle high volumes of customer data. Conversely, Sales Tools (41%) lag significantly behind. Procurement teams must consider if a vendor's current lack of ISO 27001 will become a deal-breaker as their own business grows and requires stricter safeguards within the contract period.
