Executive Summary
AI-generated analysis for Linear
Linear (linear.app) is a product development and issue-tracking SaaS tool assessed at Tier 3 (Moderate Risk) with medium data access. The overall security posture reflects a maturing compliance program with solid technical controls, offset by transparency gaps in subprocessor disclosure and AI data handling that require resolution before full procurement approval. Linear demonstrates several meaningful positive signals across its security infrastructure:
Key Findings
- The domain carries a fully clean threat intelligence profile, with no listings on SURBL, Spamhaus DBL, or URLhaus, and an IP abuse confidence score of 0/100.
- TLS 1.3 is enforced using AES-256-GCM, HSTS is enabled, and the HTTP security header configuration earned a B+ (80/100) grade.
- The vendor has published a security page attesting to SOC 2 Type II completion (managed via Vanta), HIPAA compliance with BAA availability, and GDPR commitment with a Data Processing Agreement.
- SAML 2.0 SSO, OAuth 2.0 API authentication with rate limiting, and immediate access revocation on user suspension reflect appropriate access control practices.
- No adverse media, sanctions matches, or enforcement actions were found across all scanned sources. Three areas require follow-up before or concurrent with onboarding. First, the vendor's subprocessor page was reachable but contained no enumerated subprocessors — the DPA references Exhibit B and a notification subscription mechanism, but the public list appears unpopulated. For a medium data-access vendor subject to GDPR Article 28 obligations, this is a material gap. Second, all three compliance claims (SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR) are vendor-attested only; no independent registry verification was available, and the actual SOC 2 Type II report has not been reviewed. Third, no publicly accessible AI data usage policy was found, which is a growing expectation for SaaS tools incorporating AI features — Linear's own site description references AI agent capabilities. Linear presents a reasonable risk profile for a SaaS tool at this stage of growth, but the combination of unverified certifications, an incomplete subprocessor list, and an absent AI data policy warrants a conditional approval pending resolution of those specific items.

Steps to address findings for Linear
- 1
Obtain Linear's SOC 2 Type II audit report: contact their security team directly or access the Vanta-hosted trust report linked from https://linear.app/security. Confirm the audit period covers the last 12 months and request a bridge letter if the report predates this assessment by more than 6 months.
- 2
Resolve the subprocessor transparency gap: request a current populated subprocessor list from Linear (referencing the DPA Exhibit B), or ask Linear to update the public page at https://linear.app/subprocessors. Review each listed subprocessor for jurisdiction adequacy before processing personal data.
- 3
Request Linear's AI data handling terms before enabling AI features: specifically ask about training data use, third-party model providers, retention periods for AI-processed inputs, and opt-out mechanisms. Start with the DPA at https://linear.app/dpa and ask for any AI-specific addendum.
- 4
If any PHI-adjacent workflows are in scope, request and execute a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement (BAA) with Linear — their security page at https://linear.app/security indicates BAA availability; engage your privacy or legal team to review the BAA template.
- 5
Confirm TLS certificate renewal plans for linear.app before July 10, 2026: ask Linear's security team whether renewal is automated (e.g., Cloudflare auto-renew) or manual. Post-renewal, re-verify the certificate configuration at https://www.SSL/TLS analysis service.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=linear.app.
- 6
If Linear is within your organization's SOC 2 audit boundary, document applicable Complementary User Entity Controls (CUECs) — particularly around access provisioning/deprovisioning, SSO enforcement, and data export/deletion workflows — and retain this report with a reviewer signature per CC9.2 requirements.

Data Coverage Notes
Some data sources may have had limited availability during this assessment. This does not reflect negatively on the vendor.
- The subprocessor page at linear.app was reachable but returned zero enumerated entries; the actual subprocessor list referenced in the DPA (Exhibit B) could not be evaluated without direct vendor engagement.
- No AI-specific data usage policy was discoverable via automated scanning of public URLs, documentation paths, or web search; relevant commitments may exist in non-indexed enterprise agreement documents.
- The Legal Entity Registry entity match returned a 72/100 disambiguation score against an Italian insurance company (COMPAGNIA ASSICURATRICE LINEAR S.P.A.) with nameMatchVerified: false — this is not the vendor under assessment and was treated as a non-match.
- Certificate Transparency logs show 27 distinct certificate issuers across Linear's subdomain estate, suggesting a mixed provisioning environment; full certificate lifecycle governance could not be assessed from external signals alone.
- Questionnaire coverage reached 47% (62/133 questions) via automated signal mapping; the remaining 53% of questions — including specifics on internal SDLC controls, DR testing cadence, and patch SLAs — require direct vendor attestation to complete.

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