Executive Summary

AI-generated analysis for Linear

Linear (linear.app) is a SaaS project management and issue-tracking tool assessed at Tier 3 (Moderate Risk) with a 90% confidence score, reflecting a vendor with a solid technical security posture and meaningful compliance claims that require independent confirmation before critical data access is approved. Linear presents a number of positive signals across its infrastructure and security configuration. The domain has been registered for over eight years, carries a clean threat intelligence profile across all queried sources, and is protected by Cloudflare's WAF and CDN. TLS 1.3 is enforced with AES-256-GCM ciphers, data at rest is encrypted with AES-256, and the HTTP security posture earns a B+ (80/100) from the HTTP security scanner with HSTS and CSP properly configured. Functionally, the vendor offers enterprise-grade access controls including:

Key Findings

  • SAML 2.0 SSO with Okta, Azure AD, and Google Workspace
  • SCIM-based user provisioning and deprovisioning
  • Immediate access revocation upon user suspension
  • EU and US data residency options at workspace creation
  • A publicly available Data Processing Agreement (DPA) at linear.app/dpa On the compliance side, Linear's security page claims SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001:2022, HIPAA, and GDPR — all meaningful signals.

Area Requiring Attention

However, none of these certifications could be independently verified through public registries during this assessment. The ISO 27001 claim specifically produced a cross-source contradiction: it appears on the trust page but was not found in the IAF CertSearch registry. Additionally, the vendor's subprocessor page at linear.app/subprocessors returned no extractable entries, presenting a material gap for a vendor with critical data access. The AI data usage policy, while discoverable via the DPA, does not state a clear commitment regarding training on customer data. Overall, Linear is a technically credible vendor whose compliance posture is partially unverified. Conditional approval is appropriate pending receipt of the SOC 2 Type II report, clarification of the ISO 27001 certification status, and a complete and current subprocessor list.

Independence Statement

All evidence in this report was sourced independently through automated external data queries conducted without vendor participation or notification; questionnaire answers were derived from publicly available signals, not vendor attestation.

Recommended Actions

Steps to address findings for Linear

  1. 1

    Request Linear's SOC 2 Type II report and bridge letter — contact their security team via the request link on [linear.app/security](https://linear.app/security) or check their Vanta trust portal. Ask for the most recent report period and any bridge letter covering the gap to today.

  2. 2

    Request the ISO 27001 certificate of conformity directly from Linear, including the certificate number, issuing body, and validity dates. Independently verify by searching the issuing body's certificate directory or [IAF CertSearch](https://www.iafcertsearch.org).

  3. 3

    Obtain a current, populated subprocessor list from Linear — ask their security or legal team for Exhibit B from the DPA, or check [linear.app/subprocessors](https://linear.app/subprocessors) again as the page may have been updated since this assessment.

  4. 4

    If your organization handles PHI or engages Linear for HIPAA-covered workloads, request a signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) — Linear notes BAA availability for Enterprise customers on their [security page](https://linear.app/security).

  5. 5

    Conduct manual sanctions screening for Linear Orbit, Inc. against OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions lists, as automated screening was unavailable during this assessment. Several free tools exist including the OFAC SDN search at sanctions.ofac.treas.gov.

  6. 6

    Clarify Linear's AI data usage policy — specifically whether customer data in issue descriptions, comments, or attachments is used to train AI models. Ask for written confirmation or review the AI features section of their [DPA](https://linear.app/dpa) with your privacy counsel.

  7. 7

    Set a tracking reminder for the TLS certificate expiry on October 6, 2026 — confirm with Linear that automated renewal is in place, and verify the renewed certificate appears before that date using the [SSL/TLS analysis service report](https://www.SSL/TLS analysis service.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=linear.app).

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 (OFAC, EU, UN lists) was unavailable during this assessment due to a data source issue. Manual sanctions screening against the vendor's legal entity (Linear Orbit, Inc.) is recommended before approval.
  • Certificate Transparency log data (Certificate Transparency service) was unavailable; subdomain enumeration is therefore incomplete and based only on the direct TLS handshake. The full scope of Linear's certificate footprint could not be assessed.
  • The Legal Entity Registry LEI registry returned a high-confidence match for an Italian insurance company (COMPAGNIA ASSICURATRICE LINEAR S.P.A.) — this is a different entity from the SaaS vendor Linear (linear.app) and should not be treated as a match. No LEI record for the SaaS vendor was found, which is normal for a private US technology company.
  • Linear's AI data usage policy, discoverable via their [DPA](linear.app), does not explicitly state whether customer data is or is not used to train AI models. Training commitment status is 'not_stated' — this should be clarified directly with the vendor if AI features are in scope.
  • Audit log retention appears limited to 3 months based on publicly available documentation; the full retention period for security and compliance logs could not be confirmed externally.

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.
