Executive Summary

AI-generated analysis for Databricks

Databricks (databricks.com) is a well-established Data and AI platform company assessed at Risk Tier 3 (Moderate Risk) with a 96% confidence score. This tier reflects a strong overall security and compliance posture across most evaluated dimensions, tempered by specific gaps in AI data usage policy clarity and minor website security header configuration. Databricks presents a number of meaningful positive signals that distinguish it from typical Tier 3 vendors:

Key Findings

  • FedRAMP Authorization at Moderate impact level has been independently verified via the FedRAMP Marketplace registry (authorized since June 2022), providing strong assurance for regulated-environment buyers.
  • SOC 2 Type II compliance is claimed on the vendor's public trust page (https://www.databricks.com/trust/compliance), though not independently verifiable by public registry — buyers should request the full report directly.
  • HITRUST CSF certification has been reported for Azure Databricks via industry media coverage, though independent registry confirmation was not achieved during this assessment.
  • Domain and infrastructure security is well-controlled: only 2 open ports (80, 443) are exposed behind a CDN, zero known CVEs are present, and no malware, phishing, blacklist, or sanctions signals were detected across any screening.
  • The vendor maintains a transparent subprocessor disclosure page (10 named subprocessors including AWS, Google, Microsoft, Oracle, and OpenAI), with no sanctions or safety flags detected on any listed entity.
  • Databricks carries significant market credibility, with a $100B+ valuation, active M&A activity (acquisition of Neon), and high engagement across the technical community.
  • AI assistive features use zero-data-retention endpoints with named third-party AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft Azure AI) disclosed at https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/databricks-ai/databricks-ai-trust. Two areas warrant attention before finalizing vendor approval:
  • The vendor's AI policy page does not clearly state whether customer data may be used for AI model training, despite disclosing zero-retention endpoints for AI assistive features. This distinction — between assistive feature retention and broader model training practices — should be clarified in writing.
  • Three recommended HTTP security headers (Strict-Transport-Security, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options) are absent from the marketing domain, and the HTTP security scanner HTTP scan returned a B grade (75/100). While these gaps are moderate in isolation and more relevant to the marketing site than the application platform, they represent a documentation point for buyers with strict header compliance requirements. Overall, Databricks is a mature, credible enterprise vendor with independently verified regulatory authorization and strong market standing. The Tier 3 rating is driven by the AI training policy ambiguity and header configuration gaps rather than any fundamental trust or integrity concerns. Conditional approval is appropriate, with specific requirements outlined in this report.

Steps to address findings for Databricks

  1. 1

    Request written AI training policy clarification: Contact the Databricks account team and ask for explicit written confirmation (email or addendum) that customer data — including inputs, outputs, and workload telemetry — is not used to train AI or machine learning models. Reference their AI trust page (https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/databricks-ai/databricks-ai-trust) as a starting point and ask for any supplemental language available for inclusion in your DPA.

  2. 2

    Request the SOC 2 Type II report and bridge letter: Ask your Databricks account team for their current SOC 2 Type II report — many enterprise vendors share this under NDA. Also request a bridge letter covering any gap period between the report end date and today. Review Section 4 (complementary user entity controls) carefully to confirm your organization's responsibilities.

  3. 3

    Confirm HITRUST CSF certification status: For healthcare or HIPAA-regulated buyers, request the current HITRUST CSF certificate from the Databricks security team, or contact the HITRUST Alliance directly at hitrustalliance.net to confirm Azure Databricks certification remains active and current.

  4. 4

    Verify ISO 27001 certification status: ISO 27001 was not found in the public IAF registry during this assessment. Request the current ISO 27001 certificate (including certificate number, issuing body, and expiry date) from the vendor's security team. If certified, ask them to confirm their accreditation body so you can cross-reference at iafcertsearch.org.

  5. 5

    Review FedRAMP authorization for government or regulated workloads: Databricks holds independently verified FedRAMP Moderate authorization (since June 2022). Buyers operating in federal or regulated environments should confirm which specific Databricks products and cloud regions fall within the FedRAMP authorization boundary by reviewing the full authorization package at https://marketplace.fedramp.gov/products/FR1834740315.

  6. 6

    Document HTTP security header gap for your risk register: The Databricks marketing domain is missing Strict-Transport-Security, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options headers (HTTP security scanner grade: B, 75/100). While the application platform (app.databricks.com) may have different header configurations, document this gap and request confirmation from the vendor that the application platform meets your organization's header security standards.

  7. 7

    Confirm the legal entity for contracting: The Legal Entity Registry registry returned a sole proprietor entity registered in Denmark with a 90/100 match confidence. Confirm with the Databricks legal team that contracts and data processing agreements are executed with Databricks, Inc. (the US-incorporated parent entity) and not a subsidiary, and request the relevant entity's EIN or incorporation documentation.

Data Coverage Notes

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

  • Certificate Transparency log data (Certificate Transparency service) was unavailable during this assessment; subdomain enumeration was limited to TLS handshake data from a direct connection. Certificate issuer (Amazon) was confirmed but a full subdomain inventory could not be produced.
  • Web archive history data was unavailable during this assessment, limiting independent corroboration of the domain's long-term establishment history. Domain registration records (14+ years, registered 2011) provide a sufficient alternative signal.
  • External cyber risk scoring was not available for this assessment, limiting quantitative benchmarking against peer vendors in the data and AI platform category.
  • HITRUST CSF certification for Azure Databricks was identified via industry media coverage but could not be independently confirmed through the HITRUST certified entity directory during this assessment. Manual verification with the vendor or HITRUST Alliance is recommended for healthcare-context buyers.
  • ISO 27001 certification was not found in the IAF CertSearch registry. This may reflect a gap, a registry indexing delay, or certification under a subsidiary or partner entity — buyers should request the current certificate directly from the vendor.
  • The Legal Entity Registry legal entity match (LEI: 984500E549A1FDC76F73) references a sole proprietor entity registered in Denmark. While the disambiguation score is high (90/100), buyers should confirm this maps to the primary Databricks, Inc. operating entity for contractual and regulatory purposes.
  • SOC 2 reports are confidential instruments with no public registry — compliance status cannot be independently verified. The vendor claims SOC 2 Type II on its trust page, but the full report must be requested directly from the vendor.

Has Databricks had any data breaches?+
Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly data platforms like Databricks that handle organizational and customer 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 Databricks on any sanctions lists?+
Sanctions screening is standard due diligence for data vendors. ThirdProof screens Databricks against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If Databricks or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.
How do I assess Databricks for vendor risk?+
Assessing Databricks as a data vendor involves verifying SOC 2 Type II and data processing agreements 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.

Databricks 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 Databricks 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.
