Trust Center
Overview
The Trust Center is a comprehensive solution designed to help organizations build trust with customers, partners, and stakeholders by transparently sharing security and compliance information. This product enables organizations to create a branded, customer-facing portal that showcases their security posture, compliance certifications, policies, and other trust-building artifacts.
In today's security-conscious business environment, demonstrating your commitment to security and compliance is essential for building customer confidence and winning business. The Trust Center provides a structured, professional way to communicate your security practices and compliance status, streamlining security reviews and accelerating sales cycles.
The Trust Center consists of two primary components:
Admin Management Interface - A secure, internal portal where organizations can manage the content, appearance, and functionality of their Trust Center.
Public Trust Center Site - A customer-facing portal that presents security and compliance information in a structured, accessible format.
These components work together to create a seamless experience for both administrators and external stakeholders, making it easy to share and access important security information.
