Most recent of two substantive no-logs audits, nine years apart: Defense Code Ltd audited hide.me's no-logs claim in 2015, and Securitum, a Polish cybersecurity firm, reviewed server configuration, network architecture, and logging infrastructure in July 2024, finding no evidence of activity-log creation or storage on the production fleet. hide.me also holds a VPN Trust Initiative (VTI) Trust Seal, first awarded 2023 and re-accredited late 2025 — an industry-consortium compliance certification, not a full independent technical audit.

Sixth no-logs assurance engagement, ISAE 3000 (Revised) framework. Assessment period Nov 10-Dec 12 2025: server infrastructure, configs, and deployment processes across standard VPN, Double VPN, obfuscated, and Onion Over VPN server types. Full technical report is not published publicly — only readable by logged-in Nord Account holders.

Approximate figure per independent trackers; hide.me's own domain blocks automated fetches.
