Recommended Actions

  1. Request Datadog's SOC 2 Type II report and PCI DSS Attestation of Compliance (AoC) from your account team or via trust.datadoghq.com — these are the two most critical documents for PCI DSS 12.8 TPSP compliance. Ask specifically for the AoC rather than a summary, as your QSA will require the full document.
  2. Execute a formal Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Datadog before handling any EU consumer data. Datadog publishes a DPA template — request it from your legal or procurement contact at Datadog, or check datadoghq.com/privacy for a downloadable version. Confirm it covers GDPR Article 28, CCPA service provider obligations, and prohibits Datadog from selling or using your customer data for its own purposes.
  3. Complete a PCI DSS shared responsibility matrix with Datadog. Ask your Datadog account team for their TPSP responsibility matrix, which should document which PCI DSS 4.0 requirements Datadog manages versus which remain your organization's responsibility — particularly for any Datadog agents or integrations deployed within or adjacent to your cardholder data environment (CDE).

What a ThirdProof investigation covers

Sanctions Screening

Is Datadog on any OFAC, EU, or UN sanctions list? Are any officers or affiliates flagged?

Cyber Risk Assessment

What is Datadog's security posture? Threat intelligence scanning, known vulnerabilities, and security header analysis.

Business Registration

Is Datadog a legitimately registered business entity? Corporate status, jurisdiction, and officer verification.

Adverse Media Analysis

Has Datadog appeared in negative news coverage? Data breaches, lawsuits, regulatory actions, and complaints.

Domain & Infrastructure

Is Datadog's website secure? TLS configuration, DNS hygiene, security headers, and domain age analysis.

Company Intelligence

What are Datadog's firmographics? Employee count, industry classification, technology stack, and corporate structure.

Trust & Compliance Verification

Does Datadog claim SOC 2, ISO 27001, HITRUST, or FedRAMP? ThirdProof scans trust pages for certification claims and cross-references the FedRAMP public registry for independent verification.

Supply Chain & Subprocessor Discovery

Who does Datadog depend on? ThirdProof discovers subprocessors from vendor-published pages and runs sanctions screening and safe browsing checks against each one.

Regulatory & Financial Filings

Has Datadog appeared in SEC enforcement filings? Is it associated with any FDIC bank failures? ThirdProof searches regulatory databases with entity verification to confirm attribution.

Datadog Compliance and Certification Status

Datadog claims SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, FedRAMP, and CSA STAR certifications. Datadog for Government holds FedRAMP authorization at Moderate impact level. ThirdProof's investigation independently verified these claims against the FedRAMP Marketplace and cross-referenced certification attestations on Datadog's trust page. Organizations evaluating Datadog should confirm that the specific Datadog services they use fall within the scope of these certifications — FedRAMP authorization covers the Government deployment, not necessarily the commercial platform.

Datadog Security Posture

ThirdProof investigated Datadog across 23 intelligence sources and assigned a Low Risk (Tier 4) rating with 88% confidence. Sanctions screening returned clear with no matches found. Domain reputation is clean across 94 security engines with an A+ SSL/TLS grade. No adverse media, enforcement actions, or malware indicators were detected. The 15-year domain history and publicly traded status (NASDAQ: DDOG) provide additional transparency into Datadog's operations and security investments.

Frequently asked about Datadog

Is Datadog safe to use as a vendor?+
Datadog can be evaluated for vendor safety by checking sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), verifying business registration through legal entity registries like GLEIF, scanning for adverse media coverage including data breaches and regulatory actions, and assessing domain security and cyber risk posture. ThirdProof automates this entire investigation across 23 intelligence sources and produces a deterministic risk tier (1-5 scale) with a confidence score. Run a free investigation to see Datadog's full risk profile.
Does Datadog have SOC 2 certification?+
To verify whether Datadog holds SOC 2 certification, ThirdProof scans the vendor's trust page and security documentation for certification claims, then cross-references those claims against independent registries where available (such as the FedRAMP Marketplace for FedRAMP authorization). Certifications are classified as independently verified, vendor attested, or not found in evidence — ensuring you know the verification level of each claim.
Is Datadog FedRAMP authorized?+
Based on ThirdProof's investigation, Datadog holds FedRAMP authorization. Full details including authorization level and scope are available in the ThirdProof investigation report.
Has Datadog had any data breaches?+
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 involving Datadog. Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification. The investigation also checks SEC EDGAR for enforcement-related filings and FDIC records for financial institution failures, providing a comprehensive public record review.
Is Datadog on any sanctions lists?+
ThirdProof screens Datadog against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP (Politically Exposed Persons) databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives from similar names. If Datadog or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers an automatic escalation to the highest risk tier. No sanctions match is confirmed through a clean screening report in the investigation output.
How do I assess Datadog for vendor risk?+
ThirdProof investigates Datadog autonomously in under 2 minutes using 23 intelligence sources — no questionnaires, no vendor participation required. The investigation covers sanctions screening, cyber risk scoring, business registration, adverse media, domain security, and more. Reports are formatted for SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and CMMC compliance frameworks. Your first investigation is free.
