At a glance
- Is Sentry GDPR compliant?
- No tool is GDPR compliant on its own: compliance depends on what you process with it and how. What follows is what Sentry itself publishes, each answer linked to its source and the date we read it.
- Does Sentry have a data processing agreement (DPA)?
- Yes. Sentry publishes a data processing agreement at sentry.io. It gives 30 days' notice before a new subprocessor is added. It promises breach notification "without undue delay", with no number of hours. Source and date
- Which version of the Sentry DPA is current?
- On 2026-11-02, Sentry's DPA at sentry.io printed “Version 5.1.0 (Latest version) 5.1.0 (Latest version - May 29, 2024)”. Source and date
- Does Sentry have a SOC 2 report?
- Sentry says SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 reports are available on request. In Sentry's words: “Sentry’s SOC 2 report and ISO 27001 certificate are available to customers via their Sentry account or upon request.” We read this on 2026-10-04. Source and date
- Is Sentry ISO 27001 certified?
- Sentry states ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and says the certificate or audit report is available on request. In Sentry's words: “If you already use Sentry, you can access the report and certificate via your Sentry account. Otherwise, contact us for a copy of any report(s) you’re interested in reading (it’ll be less infuriating than your social feed.).” We read this on 2026-10-04. Source and date
- How does Sentry transfer personal data out of the EU?
- Sentry's agreement relies on the EU standard contractual clauses, the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK transfer addendum. Sentry.io is on the official Data Privacy Framework List (status: Active). Source and date
- Does Sentry offer EU data residency?
- The vendor documents an EU region but states nothing about which plan reaches it or what it costs. Source and date
- Who are Sentry's subprocessors?
- Sentry lists 8 third-party subprocessors; 7 of them name at least one processing country outside the EEA. We last read the list on 2026-10-05. Source and date
- How do you report a security vulnerability to Sentry?
- Sentry publishes a security.txt at sentry.io naming [email protected]. The file falls short of RFC 9116: no Expires field. Source and date

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.
Sentry data residency

| EU | Terms not stated | — | docs.sentry.io | 2026-09-18 |
EU: Reviewed 2026-09-18: recorded as terms-unstated because the page states no price or plan. Chosen from a dropdown when creating the organization; EU storage is Frankfurt, Germany. Page states: 'once selected, your data storage location can't be changed. The only way to switch it is by creating a new organization.'
The same question for every vendor: where SaaS vendors store EU data.
Sentry'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.

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.

| Audit | For CCPA purposes, customer may take reasonable and appropriate steps under Section 4.4 (Audit Rights) of the DPA to help ensure Sentry's use of Personal Data is consistent with customer's CCPA obligations |

| Confidentiality of staff | Persons authorized to process are under an appropriate contractual or statutory duty of confidentiality |

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.

Does Sentry have a SOC 2 report?
Sentry says SOC 2 Type 1 and Type 2 reports are available on request. We read this on 2026-10-04.
- Available on request “Sentry’s SOC 2 report and ISO 27001 certificate are available to customers via their Sentry account or upon request.”
Source: sentry.io, 2026-10-04
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 Sentry ISO 27001 certified?
Sentry states ISO/IEC 27001 certification, and says the certificate or audit report is available on request. We read this on 2026-10-04.
- Available on request “If you already use Sentry, you can access the report and certificate via your Sentry account. Otherwise, contact us for a copy of any report(s) you’re interested in reading (it’ll be less infuriating than your social feed.)”
Source: sentry.io, 2026-10-04
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HIPAA Attestation · HIPAA | Available on request | — | sentry.io | 2026-10-04 |
| HIPAA Security Rule, 45 CFR 164.308 · HIPAA | Claimed | risk assessments throughout the product lifecycle | sentry.io | 2026-10-04 |
| ISO 27001 · ISO27001 | Available on request | — | sentry.io | 2026-10-04 |
| NIST SP 800-30 | Claimed | risk management procedures, which include nine steps for risk assessment and seven steps for risk mitigation | sentry.io | 2026-10-04 |
| SOC 2 · SOC2 | Available on request | — | sentry.io | 2026-10-04 |
| SOC2 Type I · SOC2T1 | Available on request | — | sentry.io | 2026-10-04 |
| SOC2 Type II · SOC2T2 | Available on request | — | sentry.io | 2026-10-04 |
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.

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.
What an entry on the Data Privacy Framework List covers, and which vendors hold one: EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
