Frequently Asked Questions
Vercel is a global deployment network using Serverless technology, taking advantage of sandboxing and isolation to ensure no two customers share the same virtual machine. Vercel makes teams productive by giving teams a seamless developer experience to build modern, scalable web apps.
Yes. Vercel Enterprise customers are covered by two forms of DDoS protection. Our systems can automatically detect and block malicious attacks on customer sites. For significantly larger, distributed attacks, we work closely with the customer to ensure your site(s) stay online. The combination of automated prevention and direct communication from our Customer Success Managers helps ensure your site is resilient to attacks. Contact our sales team to learn more.
Yes, Vercel is SOC2 Type 2 compliant. Contact us for more details or to access the report.
Yes. For more information, see our Privacy Policy. No data is stored permanently inside EU regions. Static assets and Serverless Functions responses can be cached in EU regions, but it is ephemeral.
Vercel is currently not HIPAA compliant. Contact us if HIPAA is important for you and we can share more details.
Vercel does not store personal credit card information for any of our customers. We use Stripe to securely process transactions and trust their commitment to best-in-class security.

Yes. Data is encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (HTTPS / TLS), including sensitive information like access tokens and secrets.
Yes. Our current backup interval is every hour and each backup is persisted for 1 month. Automatic backups are taken without affecting the performance or availability of the database operations.
All the backups are stored separately in a storage service, and those backups are globally replicated for resiliency against regional disasters. If a database instance is deleted, all associated backups are also automatically deleted. Backups are periodically tested by the Vercel engineering team.
The Vercel Edge Network & deployment platform primarily uses Amazon Web Services (AWS). In the case of an AWS outage, our network is resilient to regional downtime. Vercel will automatically route traffic to the nearest available edge.
Vercel.com uses Azure CosmosDB to store and globally replicate data, which is different than our Edge Network. This is an additional step taken to ensure uptime for applications on our platform.
Enterprise Teams on Vercel have their own build infrastructure ensuring isolation from Hobby/Pro accounts on Vercel.
Yes. We conduct regular penetration testing through third-party pen testers. On top of that, we also have daily code reviews, static analysis checks, and dependency vulnerability scans through GitHub and Vanta. Our Enterprise customers have access to our latest pen test reports.
