The Zoom API helps manage the pre-meeting experience such as creating, editing and deleting resources like users, meetings and webinars. It also provides access to post-meeting information for tasks such as reporting and analytics. It does not provide access to the in-meeting experience such as current attendee list, who is current speaker or ability to mute participants; if you seek these features please have a look at our SDKs.

Operational security

Configuration and change management standard
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Configuration and change management approach
Change triggers for unique processes and controls are: Code , Database , Infrastructure , Data. Weekly meetings held to request changes that need to be performed during maintenance windows. Change requests are presented, validated, and scheduled. Changes are approved by the Change Manager. Implementation in production should not be by the same individual who developed the change. When staffing levels do not permit this separation, management oversight and approval of the change and testing process ensure appropriate processes are followed. Dev and test environments are physically and logically segregated from production. No customer data is used in testing.
Vulnerability management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Vulnerability management approach
Zoom has a formal Vulnerability Management Plan in place. Zoom performs monthly vulnerability and web application scanning using an external party (Qualys). Scan reports are reviewed by our Security and technical teams and discussed with the engineering and development teams. Validated findings are tracked in our JIRA system throughout remediation. Zoom has a monthly patch cadence. Zoom will patch all applications, workstations, and servers (virtual or physical) with all current operating system, database, and application patches deployed in our computing environment according to a schedule predicated on the criticality of the patch. Maintenance/patching typically will have no service downtime.
Protective monitoring type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example CSA CCM v3.0 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Protective monitoring approach
We have monthly vulnerability and web application scan. Findings are reviewed and validated by our technical and engineering team. Vulnerability rated on severity level and tracked using our JIRA system. Vulnerability fixes are release from our engineering team and follow our formal change management process for deployment to production. Zoom also has DDoS monitoring and Managed service in place. Affected traffic are diverted and filtered through a scrubbing centre. Zoom responds to incidents as defined within our SOC2 report available upon execution of a mutual NDA.
Incident management type
Conforms to a recognised standard, for example, CSA CCM v3.0 or ISO/IEC 27035:2011 or SSAE-16 / ISAE 3402
Incident management approach
Zoom communicates the incident response policy to internal and external users and instructs users to contact their supervisor and the information security representative if they become aware of a possible security breach. When a potential security incident is detected, a defined incident management process is initiated by authorised personnel. Incidents are tracked through the tracking application, which includes the corrective actions implemented in accordance with the defined policies and procedures.
