Bentley strives to publish important security advisories that help our users mitigate risks for a subset of our desktop products. These advisory pages are Bentley’s source of information to our user community for potential risks in our products. Although we generally recommend updating to the latest product versions, some advisories include more detailed information about risk mitigation and specifics of affected versions. Our advisories are often linked with CVE entries. This process, the information in the advisories, and the website are all subject to change.

Bentley’s security team investigates all reports of security vulnerabilities affecting Bentley products and services. If you have a security concern or are a security researcher and believe you have found a security vulnerability involving Bentley products and services, please read our responsible disclosure program and send us a report.

Bentley cloud services are designed to keep user data secure with enterprise grade security, which is demonstrated with the granting of a SOC2 Type I and a Type II report by a certified AICPA auditing body. Bentley cloud services are audited annually against the SOC reporting framework by qualified independent computer-security auditors. The scope of audit for Bentley cloud services covers controls applicable to in-scope trust principles for each service. In general, the availability of these reports is restricted to customers who have signed non-disclosure agreements with Bentley.

To request a SOC 2 report, contact your account manager. If you do not currently have a Bentley account and would like to request a SOC 2 report, contact us.

The SOC 3 report is designed to be a public document containing a high-level summary without the confidentiality and NDA requirements of the SOC 2 report. Contact us to request SOC 3 report.

The CSA STAR is a publicly accessible registry that documents the security controls provided by various cloud computing offerings. The registry helps users assess the security of the cloud providers they currently use or are considering contracting with. View the CAIQ’s for Bentley Systems.
