Recommended Actions

  1. PRIORITY 1 — Request breach clarification within 30 days: Contact SendGrid/Twilio's security team to obtain a formal written statement on the April 2025 alleged credential breach. Ask specifically: Was a breach confirmed? What customer data was involved? What remediation was applied? Twilio's security disclosure page is at https://www.twilio.com/en-us/security.
  2. PRIORITY 2 — Obtain and review the SOC 2 Type II report: Request the current SOC 2 Type II report and bridge letter from Twilio's compliance team. Submit the request via https://www.twilio.com/en-us/security — many enterprise accounts can access audit reports through a signed NDA. Ensure the report period covers at least the past 12 months.
  3. PRIORITY 3 — Execute a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement if applicable: If your use case involves sending or processing any protected health information (PHI), a signed BAA is legally required. Request this directly from your SendGrid/Twilio account representative before any PHI is transmitted through the platform.

Is SendGrid safe to use as a vendor?+

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

ThirdProof investigates SendGrid 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.
