Linear Vendor Risk & Security Assessment
ThirdProof independently checks public intelligence sources to show what your team can verify about Linear before Linear sends a questionnaire or a security document.
Linear's SOC 2 report is confidential. There is no public registry for SOC 2, so the report itself has to come from Linear — ThirdProof does not hold or distribute it. What this page gives you is an independent assessment built from evidence anyone can check, and a record of which certifications are registry-verified versus claimed on Linear's own trust page.
⚠ Linear was not found in the FedRAMP Marketplace. Checked August 2026.
This matters if you place federal workloads with this vendor: agencies may only use cloud services holding a FedRAMP certification. It carries no weight for a purely commercial deployment.

Executive Summary
Narrative analysis for Linear
Linear is a modern issue tracking and project management SaaS platform with a Tier 4 (Low Risk) rating and 98% confidence.
Area Requiring Attention
The vendor demonstrates strong foundational security infrastructure and operational maturity across multiple dimensions. Positive signals include: a well-established 8+ year domain with valid TLS 1.3 encryption, clean domain reputation with no malware or phishing indicators, robust HTTP security headers (B+ grade), comprehensive audit logging with IP/country tracking for privileged access, support for SSO and passkeys, EU data residency options, and a 30-day data deletion SLA compliant with GDPR/CCPA.
The full risk rationale, every finding and the recommended vendor follow-ups are in the complete assessment below.
Independence Statement
All evidence was independently sourced from public domain records, threat intelligence feeds, certificate registries, vendor-published pages, and third-party security scans — the vendor did not participate in or influence this assessment.

Subprocessor page contains placeholder content
The [subprocessor page](https://linear.app/subprocessors) exists but contains placeholder or stub content with zero individual subprocessors extracted. The vendor's [Data Processing Agreement](https://linear.app/dpa) explicitly states that Linear engages Authorized Sub-Processors with access to personal data, yet the published list is incomplete or inaccessible. …

4 certifications claimed but not independently verified
Linear's [trust page](https://linear.app/security) claims SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, HIPAA compliance, and GDPR compliance. However, independent registry verification could not confirm these certifications: ISO 27001 returned no match in the IAF CertSearch database, and SOC 2 reports are confidential with no public registry. …

Linear Compliance and Security Context
Linear is a project management platform widely adopted by engineering teams, processing issue tracking data, sprint planning, and development workflow information. Linear claims SOC 2, HIPAA, and GDPR compliance. Organizations using Linear alongside other development tools should assess data flows between Linear and connected services (GitHub, Slack, Figma) as part of a holistic vendor risk assessment. For related vendor assessments, see the Figma security review and Slack compliance review.
Linear Security Posture
ThirdProof investigated Linear across 27 intelligence sources. Sanctions screening returned clear. Domain reputation is clean across 93 engines with an A+ SSL/TLS grade and B+ HTTP security grade (80/100). The 7-year domain history is relatively short compared to enterprise incumbents, but Linear's clean threat intelligence profile and strong infrastructure security support a favorable risk assessment.
Frequently asked about Linear
Is Linear FedRAMP authorized?+
Linear was not found in the FedRAMP Marketplace when it was checked on August 27, 2026. Absence of a public record is not evidence that the certification is absent; organisations with a hard requirement should confirm directly with the vendor.
Does Linear have SOC 2 Type II?+
Linear states that it maintains SOC 2 on its trust page. Because SOC 2 reports are generally confidential and there is no public SOC 2 registry, ThirdProof classifies this as vendor-attested until the current report and its scope have been reviewed. Request the report directly to confirm the audit period and which systems are in scope.
Is Linear on the OFAC sanctions list?+
Linear returned no matches in ThirdProof's OFAC SDN, EU Consolidated, and UN sanctions screening as of August 2026.
What is Linear's vendor risk tier?+
ThirdProof assigned Linear a risk tier of Low Risk as of August 2026, with an evidence confidence of 98% across 27 intelligence sources. Evidence confidence describes how much of the evidence ThirdProof set out to gather it was able to gather — not certainty about every fact concerning Linear.
Has Linear had any data breaches or security incidents?+
ThirdProof's adverse media and incident screening as of August 2026 did not surface a validated security incident involving Linear. Public sources do not record every incident, so this is not a guarantee that none occurred — ask Linear directly for its incident disclosure history and breach notification commitments.
Does Linear support HIPAA and sign BAAs?+
HIPAA compliance / BAA claim found on trust page (Vendor attested) If protected health information is in scope for your use, confirm BAA availability in writing before contracting.
Can ThirdProof pre-fill a Linear security questionnaire?+
Yes. ThirdProof answered 63 of 133 questions (47%) about Linear from public evidence, before contacting the vendor. Each answered item carries the evidence it was drawn from. The remaining 70 are listed as open, so the follow-up you send Linear is short and specific.
What evidence should I request from Linear?+
Public evidence settles a large part of the review, so the request you send should be short. Ask Linear for the current SOC 2 report and, where applicable, a bridge letter covering the period since the report date; the audit scope — which systems and services the report actually covers; written answers on data security, incident response, access control; contractual commitments, cyber insurance, and the current subprocessor list. Everything ThirdProof could already establish is recorded with its source, so you are not asking Linear to re-confirm what is already documented.

If 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 holding evidence that you verified it. The Linear assessment above is already written; ask for it and it lands in your inbox.
