Recommended Actions

  1. REQUEST POST-BREACH DOCUMENTATION (Priority 1 — within 14 days): Contact Workday's security team and request their post-incident report for the August 2025 data breach. Ask specifically whether your organization's data was in scope, what data categories were affected, and what remediation steps were completed. This is the highest-priority action given the confirmed breach involves a platform handling sensitive HR and financial data.
  2. OBTAIN AND REVIEW SOC 2 TYPE II REPORT (Priority 2 — within 30 days): Request Workday's current SOC 2 Type II report and a bridge letter covering the period since the last audit. SOC 2 compliance is claimed on their trust page at workday.com/en-us/why-workday/trust/compliance.html — contact their security team directly or submit a request via trust.workday.com. The report will confirm the scope, audit period, and any exceptions noted by the auditor.
  3. EXECUTE A DATA PROCESSING AGREEMENT (Priority 3 — before processing personal data): If your use case involves EU personal data, request and execute Workday's standard DPA before onboarding. This formalizes GDPR Article 28 obligations, subprocessor controls, and breach notification timelines. Workday is expected to have a standard DPA — ask your account manager or check trust.workday.com.

Has Workday had any data breaches?+
Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly HR and finance platforms like Workday that handle organizational data.

Each finding is linked to its original source with severity classification.
Is Workday on any sanctions lists?+
Sanctions screening is standard due diligence for HR and finance vendors. ThirdProof screens Workday against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If Workday or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.
How do I assess Workday for vendor risk?+
Assessing Workday as a HR and finance vendor involves verifying SOC 2 Type II and applicable industry standards compliance, reviewing their subprocessor chain, and checking sanctions exposure.

How long does a ThirdProof assessment take?+

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.
