What is a trust center and how do I publish one?
A trust center is a public web page that shows your security posture — your frameworks and certifications, key controls, subprocessors, and updates — so prospects and customers can self-serve security due diligence instead of emailing you a questionnaire. In Keel you publish one from your existing program: choose what to show across a multi-tab trust center (overview, resources, controls, subprocessors, updates) and post updates as your posture changes.
What a trust center shows
A trust center presents, in public, the things prospects ask about in security review: which frameworks you follow, key controls and how they work, your subprocessors, and a running feed of security updates. It is the front door to your security program.
Why it shortens security review
Most security questionnaires ask the same questions. A trust center answers them once, publicly, so buyers can self-serve much of their due diligence, and your team fields fewer repetitive questionnaires. It is one of the highest-leverage things a small security program can publish.
Publishing one in Keel
Keel builds your trust center from the program you already run: turn on the frameworks, controls, and subprocessors you want to show across a multi-tab layout (overview, resources, controls, subprocessors, and updates), and post updates when your posture changes, so the page stays current without separate upkeep.
Where Keel fits
Because the trust center is generated from your live controls and subprocessor records, it reflects reality rather than a hand-maintained snapshot, and it grows as your program does.
FAQ
What is the difference between a trust center and a SOC 2 report?
The SOC 2 report is the audited evidence of your controls over a period. A trust center is the public page that presents your overall posture and points visitors to resources; it complements the report rather than replacing it.
What can I put on a trust center?
Typically your frameworks and certifications, a set of key controls with context, your subprocessor list, downloadable resources, and an updates feed. In Keel these are drawn from your live program so they stay current.
