Executive Summary Preview

SendGrid, a Twilio-owned email delivery SaaS platform, presents a moderate risk posture at Tier 3, driven primarily by an alleged data breach incident reported in April 2025 that remains unresolved in the public record. Twilio publicly denied the breach allegations, but the claim has not been fully refuted by independent forensic disclosure, and the incident warrants buyer scrutiny before granting medium-level data access.

Recommended Actions

  1. Address the April 2025 breach allegation directly: Contact SendGrid's security team and request a written incident summary, internal investigation findings, and any third-party forensic report. If SendGrid has published a public post-incident review, locate it at https://sendgrid.com/security or Twilio's status page (https://status.sendgrid.com). Set a 10-business-day response deadline before proceeding with expanded data integration.
  2. Obtain and review the SOC 2 Type II audit report: Many enterprise vendors provide this under NDA or via a shared compliance portal. Contact SendGrid/Twilio at their trust page (https://sendgrid.com/security) or reach out to your account manager to request the most recent SOC 2 Type II report — confirm the audit period covers the last 12 months and that email delivery services are within scope.
  3. Manually retrieve the SendGrid subprocessor list: Navigate directly to https://sendgrid.com/subprocessors in a browser to obtain the current list. Cross-reference each named subprocessor against OFAC's Specially Designated Nationals list (https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/) given that automated sanctions screening was unavailable during this assessment.

Frequently asked about SendGrid

Is SendGrid safe to use as a vendor?+
SendGrid 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 SendGrid's full risk profile.
Does SendGrid have SOC 2 certification?+
To verify whether SendGrid 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 SendGrid FedRAMP authorized?+
Based on ThirdProof's investigation, SendGrid 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 SendGrid 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 SendGrid. 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 SendGrid on any sanctions lists?+
ThirdProof screens SendGrid 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 SendGrid 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 SendGrid for vendor risk?+
ThirdProof investigates SendGrid 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.
