Need to get SOC2 report and W9 form for GitHub to complete vendor due diligence

For GitHub, the SOC 2 report is available because the app is SOC 2 Type 2 certified. However, SOC reports are not distributed via public forums or by community responders and are typically obtained directly from the vendor (GitHub/Microsoft) under NDA as part of a formal security or vendor due‑diligence process.

For tax documentation such as a W‑9, the available Microsoft W‑9 form is published online and can be downloaded directly as part of setting up Microsoft in an Accounts Payable system.

To proceed with vendor due diligence:

1. For GitHub SOC 2 report
   • Engage GitHub/Microsoft through the established vendor security or procurement channel used by the organization.
   • Request the latest SOC 2 Type 2 report for GitHub as part of the security due‑diligence package. The compliance attestation in the context confirms that SOC 2 Type 2 exists but does not provide the report itself.
2. For W‑9 form (Microsoft)
   • Download the current Microsoft W‑9 form directly from the published asset:
     • US: W9 Form – used to set up Microsoft as a vendor in Accounts Payable.
3. Do not rely on email requests to community forums
   • Community or Q&A channels cannot send documents to specific email addresses or fulfill formal due‑diligence document delivery. Use official support, procurement, or vendor‑management contacts instead.
