Executive Summary

AI-generated analysis for Databricks

Databricks (databricks.com) presents a minimal risk profile consistent with its Tier 5 rating, supported by a comprehensive sweep of 21 independent data sources with no adverse findings.

Area Requiring Attention

The domain has been established for over 14 years, carries a clean reputation across 94 security engines, and shows no adverse media, sanctions concerns, or threat intelligence signals. The company demonstrates strong market presence, evidenced by high web traffic rankings and significant tech community engagement, including coverage of a Series K fundraise at a valuation exceeding $100 billion. For retail and e-commerce buyers, the principal area requiring attention is the absence of independently verified compliance certifications in this assessment's evidence base, which will require direct engagement with Databricks to satisfy PCI-DSS 4.0 Requirement 12.8 documentation obligations.

Independence Statement

All evidence in this report was independently sourced from external data providers without vendor participation or input.

Steps to address findings for Databricks

  1. 1

    Conduct manual sanctions screening: Cross-check 'Databricks, Inc.' against OFAC's SDN list (https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/) and the EU Consolidated Sanctions List (https://eeas.europa.eu/topics/sanctions-policy) to compensate for the automated screening gap identified in this assessment.

  2. 2

    Obtain and review Databricks' current SOC 2 Type II report: Contact Databricks' security team directly or check https://trust.databricks.com, where many enterprise vendors publish their compliance reports under NDA. Ask specifically for the audit period, scope of the report, and any identified exceptions.

  3. 3

    Confirm PCI-DSS compliance posture: Ask Databricks' sales or security team for their current PCI-DSS Attestation of Compliance (AOC) or their Responsibility Matrix documenting which PCI DSS 4.0 controls Databricks manages versus your organization. This is required for your TPSP file under PCI-DSS 12.8.5.

  4. 4

    Execute a Data Processing Agreement (DPA): Before processing any EU consumer data through Databricks, ensure a GDPR-compliant DPA is in place. Databricks offers a standard DPA — request it through their legal team or locate it at https://databricks.com/legal. Confirm CCPA service provider language is included in your MSA addendum.

  5. 5

    Review the complete subprocessor list manually: Visit https://databricks.com/subprocessors directly to obtain the full list of Databricks' subprocessors. Assess each for jurisdictional risk (particularly non-EEA transfers) and confirm each is covered under appropriate data transfer mechanisms.

  6. 6

    Address missing HTTP security headers: The domain scan identified missing Strict-Transport-Security, Content-Security-Policy, and X-Frame-Options headers on the primary domain. While this is low severity for a vendor relationship, raise it with your Databricks technical contact — ask them to confirm these headers are enforced on all authenticated application endpoints, not just the marketing domain.

  7. 7

    Monitor the upcoming domain expiration: databricks.com is registered through July 13, 2026 (approximately 131 days from assessment date). While renewal lapse is unlikely for a company of this scale, set a calendar alert for June 2026 to confirm renewal, particularly as your integration dependency may be high.

  8. 8

    Document this assessment in your TPSP register: File this report alongside your Databricks MSA, DPA, and AOC in your TPSP inventory to satisfy PCI-DSS 4.0 Requirement 12.8.2. Your QSA will request evidence of documented due diligence during assessment fieldwork.

Data Coverage Notes

Some data sources may have had limited availability during this assessment. This does not reflect negatively on the vendor.

  • Sanctions and watchlist screening was unavailable during this investigation. Manual sanctions verification against OFAC, EU, and UN lists is recommended as a compensating control prior to contract execution.
  • Deep SSL/TLS cipher and protocol analysis was unavailable; while the domain presents a valid SSL certificate issued by Amazon (expiring July 2026), a full cipher suite review could not be completed.
  • Web archive history data was unavailable from the historical web archive source, though domain registration records independently confirm a 14+ year establishment date.
  • The Trust & Compliance Page Scan located four trust/security pages for Databricks (including trust.databricks.com) but did not detect machine-readable certification keywords, meaning certification status could not be confirmed or denied from this automated pass alone. Direct review of the trust portal is required.
  • Only 2 subprocessors were extracted from the vendor's published subprocessor page, which appears to be an incomplete parse. Databricks is a large enterprise platform and is expected to maintain a more extensive subprocessor list. Manual review of databricks.com is recommended.
  • The Trust & Compliance Page Scan did not independently verify PCI-DSS, SOC 2, or ISO 27001 certifications via public registries. Certification status must be confirmed through direct vendor engagement.

Is Databricks safe to use as a vendor?+

Yes — Databricks holds SOC 2 + 1 other cert. Rated Moderate Risk — AI data practices unclear. See all 2 findings →
Has Databricks had any data breaches?+
Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly data platforms like Databricks that handle organizational and customer 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 Databricks on any sanctions lists?+
Sanctions screening is standard due diligence for data vendors. ThirdProof screens Databricks against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If Databricks or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.
How do I assess Databricks for vendor risk?+
Assessing Databricks as a data vendor involves verifying SOC 2 Type II and data processing agreements 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.

Databricks 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 Databricks 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.
