The same questions for any vendor, and the rule behind each: the vendor due diligence checklist.

Legal entity from the vendor's own terms. LEI, registered country and parent company from the Global LEI Index (GLEIF); ownership is left empty where GLEIF names no parent. The CLOUD Act row is arithmetic over those countries, not an assessment of risk.
Data location
No data-location observation recorded yet.
The same question for every vendor: where SaaS vendors store EU data.
Kahoot!'s subprocessor list names AWS and Google for hosting or infrastructure. Which SaaS vendors run on which cloud, and the sovereign offerings of each: sovereign clouds.

| Company | Country | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Kahoot! AS and subsidiaries | EU | Mainly support purposes, and provision of certain features. |
The count outside the EEA is arithmetic over the country column, not a judgement about lawfulness. A transfer outside the EEA can be perfectly lawful; whether this one is depends on your use, not on the vendor.
Every subprocessor in the registry, and which vendors name it: subprocessors.
Processing terms
From the vendor's data processing agreement · read 2026-11-09 · trust.kahoot.com
| Term | What the agreement says |
|---|---|
| Transfer mechanism | SCC (module not stated) |
| Notice of new subprocessors | By updating the published list of current Sub-Processors; no advance period stated |
| If you object to one | Customer may object in writing within 15 calendar days on reasonable grounds tied to its data protection obligations; Kahoot! may then terminate the Agreement for convenience without refunding amounts already paid |
| Breach notification | reasonably promptly upon becoming aware of a confirmed breach |
| Audit | documentation and compliance information on request; audits and inspections, including on-site, by the customer or a third-party auditor that is not a competitor; at most one per year unless agreed or legally required; at customer's cost unless material non-compliance is found |
Terms as the agreement states them. Where it is silent on a term, there is no row; that is not a statement that the vendor does not offer it.

Assurance
Does Kahoot! have a SOC 2 report?
Kahoot! says a SOC 2 Type 2 report is available on request. We read this on 2026-11-09.
- Available on request “AICPA SOC 2 type 2 report – a summary report is available upon request after signing an NDA, reach out to your sales rep or support.”
Source: trust.kahoot.com, 2026-11-09
Of the 114 vendors in this registry whose own pages mention SOC 2, 57 say the report is available on request, 1 links to the report itself, and 56 state it without saying how to get it. The type is the one the vendor names.
Is Kahoot! ISO 27001 certified?
Kahoot! states ISO/IEC 27001 certification (2022 edition, as Kahoot! names it), and says the certificate or audit report is available on request. We read this on 2026-11-09.
- Available on request “ISO/IEC 27001:2022 – our certificate is available upon request, reach out to your sales rep or support.”
Source: trust.kahoot.com, 2026-11-09
Of the 122 vendors in this registry whose own pages state ISO/IEC 27001, 16 link to the certificate, 43 say it is available on request, and 63 state it without saying how to get it. A certificate names the certification body, the scope and the expiry date: those are the three things to check.
| Scheme | Status | Scope | Source | Observed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ISO/IEC 27001:2022 · ISO27001 | Available on request | — | trust.kahoot.com | 2026-11-09 |
| AICPA SOC 2 type 2 · SOC2T2 | Available on request | — | trust.kahoot.com | 2026-11-09 |
Claimed means the vendor asserts the scheme on its own page and offers nothing further. Available on request means the report or certificate exists but sits behind a request, a login or an NDA. Neither is a certificate we have seen. That is a distinction an auditor makes, so we make it too.

- SecNumCloud qualified services (ANSSI, France): checked 2026-11-09, no entry under Kahoot!; Kahoot! AS
What the authority publishes, not what the vendor claims. An entry covers the offering it names and nothing else: a FedRAMP authorisation for a government edition says nothing about the commercial service. No entry is not a finding about security - most vendors never apply - and an entry filed under a name not listed above would not have been found.
