A product logo or standard name does not establish independent certification. Clarify scope and usage rights.
Evaluation approach
Distinguish official approval, supplier adoption and internal testing. Read the covered version, organization or service.
Application example
A supplier's SOC 2 report does not mean your entire application was assessed.
Limits and considerations
A visual badge cannot substitute for technical scope.
What does the document actually cover?
Organizations, services, products and application versions are different assessment scopes. Do not transfer one entity's assurance to another. Verify validity and use conditions from the official document.
Checks and decisions
