Executive Summary

AI-generated analysis for Clickup

ClickUp (clickup.com) is an established project management and productivity SaaS platform that has been assessed at Risk Tier 2 (High Risk), driven primarily by unverified compliance certifications, an indefinite AI data retention concern, and infrastructure CVE exposure attributable to its CDN provider. The investigation identified several meaningful positive signals:

Key Findings

  • Domain infrastructure is healthy, with a valid TLS 1.3 certificate, all recommended security headers present, and a clean Malware detection service status.
  • The domain has been registered since 2001 and web-archived since 2000, demonstrating a long-established online presence.
  • No sanctions matches were found across OFAC, EU, or UN watchlists, and no historical adverse media or SEC enforcement filings were identified.
  • ClickUp's IP reputation is clean, with zero abuse reports in the last 90 days and no threat intelligence pulses in the open threat exchange.
  • ClickUp explicitly commits to not training AI models on customer data and references ISO 42001 as a governance standard — a positive signal for organizations deploying AI-assisted workflows.
  • ClickUp's internet-facing infrastructure presents only 2 open ports (80 and 443), representing a minimal, well-controlled footprint significantly below the SaaS industry average of 8–12 exposed ports. Several concerns require attention before full approval:
  • Nine compliance certifications (including SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 27017, ISO 27018, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, SOC 1, and PCI DSS) are vendor-attested on ClickUp's trust pages but could not be independently verified through public registries. While ClickUp operates a Drata-hosted trust portal and publishes detailed security documentation, actual audit reports have not been independently confirmed.
  • The AI data retention policy is ambiguous: ClickUp states that third-party AI partners do not permanently store workspace information, yet the assessed retention posture is classified as indefinite, indicating a gap between the stated commitment and what can be clearly evidenced.
  • ClickUp's subprocessor page at trust.clickup.com/subprocessors could not be automatically parsed, preventing supply chain review without manual intervention. Overall, ClickUp presents as a mature, well-established SaaS vendor with strong infrastructure fundamentals. The Tier 2 rating reflects the inability to independently verify its extensive compliance claims rather than evidence of active security failures. Conditional approval is warranted pending receipt and review of audit documentation.

Steps to address findings for Clickup

  1. 1

    Request ClickUp's SOC 2 Type 2 report and a bridge letter — visit their Drata trust portal at security.clickup.com to request access, or contact sales@clickup.com. The bridge letter should be dated within the last 6 months to confirm continuous coverage. Target receipt within 15 business days.

  2. 2

    Request ISO 27001:2022 certificate documentation directly from ClickUp's security team, including the issuing certification body, certificate number, and expiry date. You can attempt independent verification at iafcertsearch.org by searching for 'ClickUp' once you have the certificate number.

  3. 3

    Manually review the subprocessor list at trust.clickup.com/subprocessors. Identify any subprocessors processing personal data and confirm each has appropriate data transfer mechanisms (SCCs, adequacy decisions) in place. Document this review within 30 days.

  4. 4

    Request ClickUp's Data Processing Addendum (DPA) and ask their legal or security team to clarify the specific retention period for AI-processed data, including first-party retention by ClickUp — not only third-party partner retention. Ensure the no-training commitment is contractually incorporated into the DPA.

  5. 5

    If ISO 27001 certificate details are obtained from ClickUp, independently verify the certificate number at iafcertsearch.org to confirm the certification body, scope, and expiry date are consistent with ClickUp's claims.

Data Coverage Notes

Some data sources may have had limited availability during this assessment. This does not reflect negatively on the vendor.

  • Adverse media scan via the primary news data source was unavailable during this investigation. Historical Google News archive search returned no adverse media results, but real-time news coverage may not be fully reflected. Manual review of recent press coverage is recommended.
  • ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HITRUST certifications could not be confirmed through independent public registries (IAF CertSearch, PCI Security Standards Council, HITRUST directory) during this assessment. Registry limitations, name-matching constraints, or processing delays may contribute to false negatives — absence of registry confirmation is not equivalent to absence of certification.
  • ClickUp's subprocessor list at trust.clickup.com/subprocessors was identified but could not be automatically parsed due to its rendering format. No supply chain risk assessment of individual subprocessors was possible in this investigation.
  • External cyber risk scoring for clickup.com was not available during this assessment, limiting the ability to benchmark ClickUp's overall security posture against industry peers.
  • The AI data retention policy evidence was limited to excerpts from clickup.com/brain. The complete policy context, including any enterprise-specific retention controls or DPA provisions, was not available for review.

Has ClickUp had any data breaches?+
Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly project management platforms like ClickUp that handle organizational data. ThirdProof's adverse media analysis searches multiple news APIs and public records for data breaches, security incidents, lawsuits, regulatory enforcement actions, and financial distress signals. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification.
Is ClickUp on any sanctions lists?+
Sanctions screening is standard due diligence for project management vendors. ThirdProof screens ClickUp against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If ClickUp or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.
How do I assess ClickUp for vendor risk?+
Assessing ClickUp as a project management vendor involves verifying SOC 2 Type II and applicable industry standards compliance, reviewing their subprocessor chain, and checking sanctions exposure. ThirdProof automates this across 27 intelligence sources in an average of 7 minutes — no questionnaires or vendor participation required. Your first 5 investigations are free.
How long does a ThirdProof assessment take?+
A ThirdProof assessment completes in an average of 7 minutes. 27 intelligence sources are queried in parallel — sanctions databases, business registries, threat intelligence feeds, certificate transparency logs, and more. The result is a deterministic risk tier with confidence score and audit-ready PDF report.
Is ThirdProof free?+
ThirdProof offers 5 free vendor assessments with no credit card required. Each assessment includes the full report — risk tier, confidence score, individual findings, executive summary, and PDF export. Paid plans start at $399/month for teams that need ongoing vendor monitoring.
Can I use a ThirdProof report as SOC 2 audit evidence?+
Yes. ThirdProof reports are designed to satisfy SOC 2 CC9.2 (vendor risk management) requirements. Each report includes SHA-256 integrity verification, methodology disclosure, source attribution for every finding, and AI content labeling. Auditors can independently verify the report's authenticity and trace each finding to its original source.
How is ThirdProof different from a security questionnaire?+
Security questionnaires require vendor participation, take weeks, and produce self-reported answers. ThirdProof queries 27 independent intelligence sources — no vendor involvement needed. Risk tiers are assigned by a deterministic rules engine (not AI opinion), and every finding links to its original source. You get an audit-ready report in an average of 7 minutes instead of waiting weeks for a questionnaire response.

ClickUp is in your vendor stack. Can you prove you assessed them?

SOC 2 CC9.2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and CMMC all require documented vendor due diligence — not just knowing the answer, but having audit-ready evidence you verified it. Most compliance teams can't produce that documentation on demand.

ThirdProof investigates ClickUp across 27 intelligence sources in an average of 7 minutes — sanctions screening, cyber posture, SOC 2 verification, FedRAMP status, and more. Every investigation produces two deliverables: an audit-ready risk report and an auto-filled security questionnaire your prospects and auditors expect to see.
