Executive Summary

AI-generated analysis for Looker

Looker (looker.com), a data analytics platform now operating under Google Cloud, presents a moderate risk posture consistent with its Tier 3 designation.

Area Requiring Attention

The platform demonstrates strong domain reputation and clean threat intelligence across 94 security engines, with no adverse media, enforcement actions, or sanctions concerns identified. However, three compliance frameworks — HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA — are referenced on vendor-controlled web pages but could not be independently verified through public registries, leaving a documentation gap for procurement and compliance teams. Additionally, the IP address associated with looker.com carries a 23% abuse confidence score, which — in the context of Google's CDN infrastructure — is likely attributable to shared hosting rather than Looker-specific malicious activity, but warrants acknowledgment. For retail and e-commerce buyers subject to PCI-DSS 4.0, formal TPSP documentation, a signed Data Processing Agreement, and clarification of shared PCI responsibility are required before deployment.

Independence Statement

All evidence presented in this report was independently sourced from external data providers and public registries without vendor participation or notification.

Steps to address findings for Looker

  1. 1

    Execute a signed Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Google Cloud / Looker before processing EU consumer data. Start at https://cloud.google.com/terms/data-processing-addendum — Google publishes its standard DPA and model clauses there. This is required for GDPR Article 28 compliance and PCI-DSS 12.8.2 documentation.

  2. 2

    Confirm and execute a Business Associate Agreement (BAA) if your Looker deployment will process any health-related data. Contact your Google Cloud account representative or check https://cloud.google.com/security/compliance/hipaa — Google Cloud has a published BAA framework for covered entities.

  3. 3

    Obtain and review Looker's current SOC 2 Type II report to independently assess security, availability, and confidentiality controls. Request this directly from your Looker/Google Cloud account team, or check the Google Cloud compliance documentation at https://cloud.google.com/security/compliance/soc-2.

  4. 4

    Document Looker's shared PCI-DSS responsibility matrix before including it in your Cardholder Data Environment (CDE). Request a completed Shared Responsibility Matrix or Responsibility Summary from your Google Cloud account team — this is required under PCI-DSS 4.0 Requirement 12.8.5 to define which controls Looker manages versus your organization.

  5. 5

    Conduct manual sanctions screening for Looker (Google LLC) against OFAC, EU, and UN consolidated lists to compensate for the unavailable automated screening. Use OFAC's SDN search at https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/ and document the result in your TPSP risk register.

  6. 6

    Review and document Looker's analytics data use policies, particularly for any tracking pixels or behavioral analytics features, to confirm alignment with your CCPA service provider obligations. Ensure your written agreement prohibits Looker from selling or sharing consumer personal information under California Civil Code §1798.140.

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 against OFAC, EU, and UN sanctions lists is recommended before finalizing vendor onboarding.
  • Domain registration (WHOIS) data could not be retrieved. Domain age and registrar details are therefore unconfirmed, though threat intelligence engine data indicates a domain creation date of June 1997, consistent with a long-established platform.
  • SSL/TLS deep configuration analysis was unavailable. Cipher suite strength and certificate chain details could not be independently assessed, though the public-facing domain holds an A+ HTTP security scanner grade.
  • Certificate Transparency log data was unavailable. Subdomain enumeration and historical certificate issuance patterns could not be reviewed.
  • Web archive history data was unavailable. Independent confirmation of domain establishment timeline could not be completed.
  • The LEI match returned by the global registry corresponds to 'The Trustee for LOOKER FAMILY SUPER FUND,' an Australian superannuation fund — this is a name coincidence and does not represent the Looker data analytics platform. No valid LEI for Looker (Google LLC subsidiary) was identified, which is expected for a private subsidiary.
  • The subprocessor page at looker.com appears to have returned navigation or marketing content rather than a structured subprocessor list. The 47 identified entries contain product feature names rather than third-party processor entities, limiting the usefulness of the supply chain review.

Can I get an auto-filled security questionnaire for Looker?+
Yes. Every ThirdProof investigation of Looker 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 Looker a single email or waiting for a vendor response.
Is Looker safe to use as a vendor?+
Looker is a data vendor that handles organizational and customer 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 Looker's full risk profile.
Does Looker have SOC 2 certification?+
No SOC 2 found. Looker rated Moderate Risk — subprocessor list unavailable. See all 5 findings →
Has Looker had any data breaches?+
Data breach history is an important signal for any vendor, particularly data platforms like Looker 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 Looker on any sanctions lists?+
Sanctions screening is standard due diligence for data vendors. ThirdProof screens Looker against OFAC SDN, consolidated international sanctions lists, and PEP databases. The screening uses entity name verification to reduce false positives. If Looker or any associated officers appear on a sanctions list, this triggers automatic escalation to the highest risk tier.
How do I assess Looker for vendor risk?+
Assessing Looker 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.

Looker 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 Looker 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.
