Executive Summary Preview

GitHub (github.com) is a widely adopted software development platform owned by Microsoft, assessed here as a SaaS tool with medium data access. The rule engine has assigned a Tier 3 (Moderate Risk) rating, driven primarily by a documented supply-chain security incident affecting downstream organizations and an AI data training policy that defaults to opt-out rather than opt-in for certain product tiers.

Recommended Actions

  1. Confirm AI training opt-out status before April 24, 2026: If your organization uses any non-enterprise Copilot tier (Free, Pro, Pro+), log in to GitHub personal settings under 'Copilot' and verify the model training opt-out is enabled. For Enterprise/Business tiers, obtain written confirmation from your GitHub account team that the DPA-based no-training commitment applies to your subscription.
  2. Request GitHub's current SOC 2 Type II report and bridge letter: Contact your GitHub Enterprise account manager or GitHub's security team via their [trust center](https://github.com/security). Many enterprise customers can request the report under NDA. Verify the report covers the current period and ask for a bridge letter if the report is more than 6 months old.
  3. Obtain the vendor's official incident report for the 2025 supply-chain breach: Contact GitHub's enterprise security team and request a formal incident summary or post-mortem for the supply-chain attack [reported in September 2025](https://www.esecurityplanet.com/cybersecurity/github-breach-exposed-700-companies-in-months-long-attack/). Document the response, remediation steps, and any compensating controls implemented.

Frequently asked about GitHub

Is GitHub FedRAMP authorized?+
Yes, GitHub holds FedRAMP Moderate authorization as of April 2026.
Does GitHub have SOC 2 Type II?+
Yes — GitHub holds SOC 2 (Type II not confirmed). Rated Moderate Risk — exposed services detected. See all 4 findings →
Is GitHub on the OFAC sanctions list?+
GitHub returned no matches in ThirdProof's OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated, and UN sanctions screening as of April 2026.
What is GitHub's vendor risk tier?+
ThirdProof assigned GitHub a risk tier of Moderate Risk with 100% confidence based on assessment across 27 intelligence sources as of April 2026.
Can I get an auto-filled security questionnaire for GitHub?+
Yes. Every ThirdProof investigation of GitHub produces two deliverables: an audit-ready risk report and a 133-question security questionnaire pre-filled with evidence from 27 independent sources. The questionnaire is mapped to SIG, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS and 9 other frameworks — answered without sending GitHub a single email or waiting for a vendor response.
Is GitHub safe to use as a vendor?+
GitHub is a developer tools vendor that handles source code and deployment credentials. Safety depends on their current security posture, certification status, and how they handle your specific data. ThirdProof automates this evaluation across 27 intelligence sources — sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), business registration verification, adverse media scanning, and cyber risk assessment — producing a deterministic risk tier with confidence score plus an auto-filled security questionnaire. Run a free investigation to see GitHub's full risk profile.
Does GitHub have SOC 2 certification?+
Yes — GitHub holds SOC 2 + 2 other certs. Rated Moderate Risk — exposed services detected. See all 4 findings →
Has GitHub had any data breaches?+
Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly developer tools platforms like GitHub that handle source code and deployment credentials. 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 GitHub on any sanctions lists?+
Sanctions screening is standard due diligence for developer tools vendors. ThirdProof screens GitHub against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If GitHub or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.
How do I assess GitHub for vendor risk?+
Assessing GitHub as a developer tools vendor involves verifying SOC 2 and code security practices 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.

GitHub 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 GitHub 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.
