## Confirmed absences

These decision fields were researched and confirmed absent — not available based on current evidence, until contrary information supersedes the finding. Each carries the check performed, the page checked, and the date, so you can act on the negative without repeating the research. A label-scoped absence applies only to its label (e.g. no SOC 2 does not mean no certifications).

- **Open source** — confirmed absent (whole field), checked 2026-10-14. Checked the official commercial terms governing API services, rights and use restrictions for an open-source or source-available API implementation; none is offered. Checked for open_source.

## Security & Compliance

We confirm that cited vendor pages support these certification claims; we do not independently audit the reports. A shared trust or security page can support several certifications. We do not require separate public report links because reports may require login, vendor approval, or a nondisclosure agreement. Ask the vendor for reports and applicable coverage before a procurement decision. These listings expose no per-claim check date; the entry's updated date does not date the supporting evidence.

- **Compliance certifications:** ISO/IEC 27001, System and Organization Controls 2
- **Access controls:** Role-Based Access Control
