Deloitte Verifies Surfshark’s No-Logs Statement

Surfshark has just taken another big step towards increasing its transparency with customers. 

The VPN service announced in a blog post that the auditing firm Deloitte performed tests on its no-logs policy, verifying Surfshark doesn’t store user data.

Deloitte confirmed that in an official report.

“Based on the procedures performed and the evidence obtained, in our opinion, the configuration of IT systems and management of the supporting IT operations is properly prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Surfshark’s description of its no-logs policy.”

What did Deloitte test?

Deloitte conducted the audit between November 21st and December 2nd, 2022.

It examined Surfshark’s IT infrastructure and operations and collected sufficient information to verify that the VPN service strictly abides by the promises in its policy.

The experts from Deloitte reviewed many aspects of Surfsharks’ operations, including:

• Server configuration
• Implementation process
• VPN server configuration
• API (VPN infrastructure-related servers for the Infra microservice)
• SDN (Software Defined Network)
• Employees (through interviews)

In addition, Surfshark’s personnel capacity was tested to see if the actual work matched the claims in the no-logs policy.

What did Surfshark say?

Studies show that 81% of people in the US don’t feel in control of their data, so it’s essential for companies like Surfshark to have their no-log claims legitimatized.

Justas Pukys, Surfsharks’ product manager and owner, expressed his joy over the audit.

He said the company understands it needs more than words to validate its efforts. Furthermore, he sees the verification as proof for current and future customers that Surfshark upholds the highest quality and privacy standards.

According to Pukys, the VPN service will look for further opportunities to verify its security and privacy measures.

Therefore, you can safely opt for Surfshark if you need a VPN you can trust with your data.
