description: 'Canonical does not operate a branded "trust center" portal (trust.canonical.com and canonical.com/trust
  both 404 on 2026-09-05). What it publishes instead is a security and compliance hub under ubuntu.com/security,
  and the distinction below is deliberate and load-bearing: some of these are CERTIFICATIONS Canonical
  holds for its own product, and the rest are compliance regimes Canonical sells tooling to help a CUSTOMER
  achieve. Conflating the two would credit Canonical with attestations it does not claim.'

    22.04 or 24.04.
compliance_enablement:
  note: Canonical publishes tooling and hardening automation for these regimes. These are NOT Canonical
    certifications; the page's own wording is that Canonical "helps you comply" or "supports your path
    towards" them.
  regimes:
  - name: DISA-STIG
    tooling: Ubuntu Security Guide (USG)
  - name: CIS Benchmarks
    tooling: Ubuntu Security Guide (USG)
  - name: FedRAMP
    note: '"Find security tools to help you achieve FedRAMP Authority To Operate."'

  note: No SOC 2 report or attestation is advertised on ubuntu.com/security; ubuntu.com/security/soc-2
    returned 404 on 2026-09-05.
- name: ISO 27001
  note: Not named on the certifications page; ubuntu.com/security/iso-27001 returned 404 on 2026-09-05.
    Absence of a published page is not proof Canonical lacks the certificate — only that it is not published
    where a buyer or an agent would look.
