04/12/2023, 7:45 PMHi, @Stéphane Burwash. Can you say a bit more about your question?
Taps and targets generally communicate with their connected systems via https or another secure channel. But the exact details will vary per implementation.

04/12/2023, 7:55 PMWe are currently evaluating the security measures on our different services to be compliant with SOC-2. We're trying to evaluate if all of our taps and targets that we currently use encrypt information in transit.
For our taps, all we use is HTTPs, so we should be ok, but I don't know with what method of encryption we use for targets (if any).

04/12/2023, 7:58 PMHappy to help! And we're certifying Meltano Cloud for SOC2 as well, so I totally get the context. If you have a list of targets you want to look at, I or someone on the team would be happy to help investigate.
(Probably helpful to know the variant too, just in case implementations have difference.)

• target-stitch
• target-bigquery variant: z3z1ma
For the taps, most of them are homemade, so we should be good 😄
