Recommended Actions

  1. Obtain Linear's SOC 2 Type II audit report before or within 30 days of onboarding — contact their security team directly or visit trust.linear.app, where many SaaS vendors publish reports under NDA on request.
  2. Request and execute a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Linear to satisfy GDPR Article 28 requirements for EU consumer data. Check https://linear.app/privacy or contact Linear's privacy team to obtain their standard DPA.
  3. Manually verify Linear against OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions lists, as automated sanctions screening was unavailable during this investigation. Use the OFAC SDN search tool at https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/ and the EU Consolidated List at https://eeas.europa.eu.

Linear Compliance and Security Context

Linear is a project management platform widely adopted by engineering teams, processing issue tracking data, sprint planning, and development workflow information. Linear claims SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance. Organizations using Linear alongside other development tools should assess data flows between Linear and connected services (GitHub, Slack, Figma) as part of a holistic vendor risk assessment. For related vendor assessments, see the Figma security review and Slack compliance review.

Frequently asked about Linear

Does Linear have SOC 2 certification?+
ThirdProof's investigation found that Linear claims SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance. Organizations should request Linear's current SOC 2 Type II report to verify audit scope and the trust service criteria covered. Linear's SOC 2 claim is vendor-attested — it has not been independently verified through a public registry.
Is Linear FedRAMP authorized?+
Linear is not listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. Linear is a project management tool primarily used by engineering teams — organizations with federal compliance requirements should assess whether Linear processes CUI (Controlled Unclassified Information) and evaluate FedRAMP-authorized alternatives if required.
Is Linear secure for engineering teams?+
ThirdProof investigated Linear across 24 intelligence sources and assigned a Low Risk (Tier 4) rating with 82% confidence. Domain reputation is clean across 93 security engines, sanctions screening is clear, and SSL/TLS configuration is rated A+. Linear claims SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance. The 13 open ports detected during infrastructure scanning should be reviewed in context of Linear's cloud architecture.
Is Linear safe to use as a vendor?+
Linear 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 24 intelligence sources and produces a deterministic risk tier (1-5 scale) with a confidence score. Run a free investigation to see Linear's full risk profile.
Does Linear have SOC 2 certification?+
To verify whether Linear 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 Linear FedRAMP authorized?+
Based on ThirdProof's investigation, Linear is not currently listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace. Organizations with federal compliance requirements should verify this directly and consider alternative vendors with FedRAMP authorization where required.
Has Linear 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 Linear. 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 Linear on any sanctions lists?+
ThirdProof screens Linear 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 Linear 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 Linear for vendor risk?+
ThirdProof investigates Linear autonomously in under 2 minutes using 24 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.
