Executive Summary

AI-generated analysis for Linear

Linear (linear.app) is a project management SaaS tool with a strong overall security posture, earning a Tier 4 (Low Risk) designation.

Area Requiring Attention

The domain demonstrates a clean reputation across 93 threat intelligence engines, a 7-year established history, and strong TLS configuration rated A+ by SSL/TLS analysis service. Three security certifications — SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance — are claimed on the vendor's public security page but have not been independently verified through a public registry, requiring direct confirmation before reliance. For retail and e-commerce buyers, Linear's category as a project management tool means it is unlikely to touch cardholder data environments directly, but formal PCI-DSS TPSP documentation and data processing agreements should still be obtained to satisfy Requirement 12.8 obligations.

Independence Statement

All evidence in this report was independently sourced from external data providers, public registries, and open-source intelligence without vendor participation or knowledge.

Steps to address findings for Linear

  1. 1

    Obtain Linear's SOC 2 Type II audit report before or within 30 days of onboarding — contact their security team directly or visit trust.linear.app, where many SaaS vendors publish reports under NDA on request.

  2. 2

    Request and execute a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Linear to satisfy GDPR Article 28 requirements for EU consumer data. Check https://linear.app/privacy or contact Linear's privacy team to obtain their standard DPA.

  3. 3

    Manually verify Linear against OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions lists, as automated sanctions screening was unavailable during this investigation. Use the OFAC SDN search tool at https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/ and the EU Consolidated List at https://eeas.europa.eu.

  4. 4

    Request Linear's subprocessor list in a structured format (e.g., CSV or table) to enable supply chain risk assessment. Their page at https://linear.app/subprocessors exists but could not be parsed — ask their sales or security team for a complete, enumerated list.

  5. 5

    For PCI-DSS compliance purposes, document Linear as a TPSP in your third-party service provider register per Requirement 12.8.1, and establish a written agreement per 12.8.2. Confirm with Linear whether any project data managed in their platform could be in scope for your CDE, and document the shared responsibility matrix per 12.8.5.

  6. 6

    If your organization processes or stores protected health information (PHI) through Linear, execute the Business Associate Agreement (BAA) referenced on Linear's security page at https://linear.app/security before any PHI is introduced to the platform.

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 verification of Linear against OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions lists is recommended before finalizing vendor approval.
  • Linear's subprocessor page was located at linear.app but no structured subprocessor entries could be extracted due to a non-standard page format. The identity and risk posture of Linear's subprocessors could not be assessed in this investigation.
  • External cyber risk scoring was not available for this investigation, limiting visibility into continuous monitoring signals that would otherwise supplement the point-in-time findings presented here.
  • The Legal Entity Registry LEI registry returned an active Italian insurance company — COMPAGNIA ASSICURATRICE LINEAR S.P.A. — that shares the name 'Linear' but is clearly a distinct legal entity (jurisdiction: IT, insurance sector). This match is irrelevant to the SaaS vendor Linear (linear.app) and should not be interpreted as a risk signal.
  • A news article mentioning 'Linear penalty-based algorithms' was surfaced during media scanning. This article (April 2024, Wiley Online Library) is unrelated to the vendor Linear and pertains to airport operations research. No adverse media relevant to the vendor was identified.

Can I get an auto-filled security questionnaire for Linear?+
Yes. Every ThirdProof investigation of Linear produces two deliverables: an audit-ready risk report and a 133-question security questionnaire pre-filled with evidence from 27 independent sources. The questionnaire is mapped to SIG, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS and 9 other frameworks — answered without sending Linear a single email or waiting for a vendor response.
Is Linear safe to use as a vendor?+
Linear is a project management vendor that handles organizational data. Safety depends on their current security posture, certification status, and how they handle your specific data. ThirdProof automates this evaluation across 27 intelligence sources — sanctions databases (OFAC, EU, UN), business registration verification, adverse media scanning, and cyber risk assessment — producing a deterministic risk tier with confidence score plus an auto-filled security questionnaire. Run a free investigation to see Linear's full risk profile.
Does Linear have SOC 2 certification?+
Yes — Linear holds SOC 2 + 2 other certs. Rated Moderate Risk — subprocessor page incomplete. See all 5 findings →
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.
