SOC 2 Compliance for Fly.io
Fly.io runs your code close to users. For SOC 2, focus on leveraging its private networking capabilities and ensuring your logs are shipped to a central repository for auditing.
Core Fly.io Controls
Private 6PN Networking
Use Fly.io's private IPv6 networking (6PN) to communicate between services without exposing traffic to the public internet, satisfying network isolation requirements.
WireGuard Peering
Use Fly.io WireGuard for secure administrative access and to connect external infrastructure into your private network with encrypted tunnels.
Log Shipping
Configure fly-log-shipper to export application and system logs to external providers for compliance retention and centralized security monitoring.
Secrets Management
Use "fly secrets" to manage sensitive configuration. Ensure access to these secrets is limited to authorized personnel and deployment pipelines.
Auditor-Vetted Best Practices
Use Fly.io's automated SSL termination to ensure all public traffic is encrypted via TLS 1.2 or higher.
Implement multiple regions for high availability, satisfying SOC 2 availability requirements and disaster recovery planning.
Configure health checks in your fly.toml to monitor service uptime and trigger automated restarts for reliability.
Manage your Fly.io infrastructure using the Fly Terraform provider to maintain a version-controlled audit trail of all changes.
Infrastructure-as-Code is Key
The fastest way to achieve SOC 2 on Fly.io is to define your entire environment in code. This provides an immutable audit trail that auditors love.

SOC 2 and Fly.io FAQs
How does Fly.io support SOC 2 compliance?
Fly.io provides native security controls (IAM, logging, encryption) that map to SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria. Proper configuration and evidence collection from Fly.io can satisfy a significant portion of technical control requirements.
What SOC 2 controls map to Fly.io?
Common mappings include: access control (IAM/users and roles), change management (audit logs and deployment pipelines), logical access (MFA and least privilege), and monitoring (logging and alerting). See our implementation guide above for platform-specific control mapping.
How do we collect evidence from Fly.io for our audit?
Evidence from Fly.io typically includes: configuration exports, access review reports, audit/activity logs, and encryption settings. Compliance automation tools can pull evidence continuously; otherwise, export and store evidence per your auditor's requirements.
Does Fly.io integrate with compliance automation (Vanta, Drata)?
Most major cloud and SaaS platforms, including Fly.io, offer integrations or APIs used by compliance automation tools. Check your automation provider's integration list and enable the Fly.io connector for continuous evidence collection.
About RiscLens
Our mission is to provide transparency and clarity to early-stage technology companies navigating the complexities of SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) compliance.
Who we serve
Built specifically for early-stage and growing technology companies—SaaS, fintech, and healthcare tech—preparing for their first SOC 2 audit or responding to enterprise customer requirements.
What we provide
Clarity before commitment. We help teams understand realistic cost ranges, timeline expectations, and common gaps before they engage auditors or expensive compliance vendors.
Our Boundaries
We do not provide legal advice, audit services, or certifications. Our assessments support internal planning—they are not a substitute for professional compliance guidance.
SOC 2 (System and Organization Controls 2) is a voluntary compliance standard for service organizations, developed by the AICPA, which specifies how organizations should manage customer data based on the Trust Services Criteria: security, availability, processing integrity, confidentiality, and privacy.
