The Trust Center is a public-facing portal that lets your customers, prospects, and partners view your organization’s security and compliance posture. It replaces the repetitive process of answering security questionnaires by proactively sharing the information buyers need to evaluate your security practices.

What Visitors See

Your Trust Center can display any combination of the following sections:

Compliance Status

Framework compliance progress across 50+ frameworks including ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI-DSS. Shows which frameworks you are pursuing or certified against.

Certifications

Active certifications and audit reports with validity dates. Upload certificates and make them available for download or access request.

Security Practices

Descriptions of your security practices across categories like data encryption, access controls, incident response, and infrastructure security.

Policies

Public-facing versions of your security and privacy policies. Choose which policies to share and whether they require an access request.

Subprocessors

A list of third-party subprocessors you use, including their purpose, location, and data categories processed. Required for GDPR compliance.

FAQs

Frequently asked security questions and answers. Pre-answer common buyer concerns to reduce inbound questionnaire volume.
Additional sections available:
  • Data Handling — How your organization collects, processes, stores, and protects data
  • Trusted Clients — Logos of customers who trust your security practices
  • Testimonials — Quotes from customers or partners about your security program
  • Media & Press — Security-related press coverage or blog posts
  • Updates — Recent security improvements, certifications, or compliance milestones

How the Trust Center Works

The Trust Center pulls data directly from your LowerPlane compliance program:
1

Configure sections

Choose which sections to display and what content to include in each. You control exactly what is public.
2

Brand your portal

Add your company logo, name, and colors. The Trust Center reflects your brand, not LowerPlane’s.
3

Publish

Your Trust Center is published at a URL you choose. Share it with prospects, include it in RFP responses, and link to it from your website.
4

Keep it current

Compliance status, certifications, and policies update automatically as your LowerPlane data changes. Subprocessor lists and FAQs are managed manually.

Access Controls

You can control who sees what on your Trust Center:
Access LevelDescription
Fully publicAnyone with the URL can view the content. No login required.
Access requestVisitors must submit a request form to view certain documents (e.g., SOC 2 reports, detailed policies). You approve or deny requests.
NDA-gatedRequire an NDA before granting access to sensitive security documentation.
Make general compliance status and security practices fully public. Gate detailed audit reports and policies behind an access request form. This balances transparency with document control.

Trust Center and GDPR

If you process data of EU/EEA residents, your Trust Center serves double duty:
  • The Subprocessors section fulfills GDPR Article 28 transparency requirements
  • The Policies section can host your publicly required Privacy Policy
  • The Data Handling section demonstrates Article 5 transparency principles
The Trust Center is not a replacement for your legal privacy policy. However, it is an effective supplement that makes your privacy and security practices more accessible.
