Overview

The TrustShare overview article gives you an overall idea of the TrustShare app designed for startups, SMBs, and enterprises to securely share their compliance programs with their customers.

What is TrustShare?

TrustShare™ is TrustCloud’s digital platform that allows organizations to securely manage and share sensitive information with their customers, partners, and other stakeholders. With TrustShare, you will:

• Securely share your compliance program with prospects and partners
• Dramatically reduce time spent on security questionnaires
• Stop maintaining a knowledge base or trying to configure an RFP tool

Who uses TrustShare?

The primary administrators of TrustShare are typically:

• In startups: CTOs or VPs of Engineering, and marketing and sales leads
• In SMBs:  Security or compliance leads, and marketing and sales leads
• In enterprises:  Security and compliance lead

Apart from admins, every sales team member in an organization is typically invited into TrustShare so that they can invite their customers (under NDA) to view security and compliance information.

How TrustShare helps you

1. Auto-generate a branded trust portal. You get an elegant, mobile-friendly, auto-generated portal with your logo and branding. You can showcase all your security and compliance activities and documents directly from your TrustCloud.
2. Showcase accurate policies and controls. Share the policies and controls that govern your entire organization directly from your compliance program in TrustCloud. You can transparently prove that you are compliant with each policy and you continuously monitor every control.
3. Share your Common Controls Framework Mapping. Allow customers to transparently see how each control in your program maps to multiple requirements in numerous security, privacy, and other compliance standards.
4. Sharing Certifications, Reports, Questionnaires, and documents. Accelerate sales processes by sharing compliance reports and previously-answered security questionnaires. Enhance sales engagement with links to your security blog, security white papers, pen-test reports, and other frequently-requested security documents.
5. Accelerate subprocessor reviews. Generate your list of subprocesses directly from TrustCloud. Show your customers that your vendors are regularly tested for security and compliance.
6. Ensure secure access, confidential NDA workflows, and document water-marking. Ensure that only invited and authenticated users can view your documents. Automatically request users to sign NDAs (if they haven’t already) prior to accessing your documents. Turn on the ability to watermark all downloaded documents for extra security.
7. Set up secure data-rooms for each customer. Create data rooms effortlessly for each customer, put specific documents in that data room, and only users from that customer account can access these documents.
8. Track customer engagement to track liability. Sales reps can see which customers downloaded which documents, so you know what you have represented to each customer during the sales process.
9. Complete security questionnaires faster. We use ML and NLP to auto-suggest answers to assessments based on controls and policies in your TrustCloud, as well as previously answered questionnaires.
