Three kinds of buyer, three kinds of tool

"Trust Center" covers three products that are priced and built for very different buyers. Before you compare features, work out which one you are - it narrows the field immediately.

  • You just need to share documents. You want a gated place to hand a prospect your SOC 2 and move on. Minimalist document portals do this for around $20/month: a gated list of PDFs, maybe a click-through NDA. Cheap and quick, but it is a file gate, not a Trust Center - it cannot show your posture, only hand over a file.
  • You need a full enterprise GRC platform. You want the Trust Center to sit inside a broader governance, risk, and compliance suite: control attestation wired to evidence collection, internal policy management, sharing policies with your own employees, and integrations across your stack. Enterprise GRC suites do all of this - for a five-figure annual contract, a sales call, and an implementation project.
  • You are in the middle - and most startups and SMBs are. You want to share sensitive documents under a self-serve NDA and show buyers which controls you adhere to, without the price tag or overhead of an enterprise GRC suite. That is the gap a real Trust Center fills, and it is exactly what DeliverTrust is built for.

What a real Trust Center gives you - and what we provide

Once you are past the shape question - a structured Trust Center rather than a gated PDF list - the capabilities below are what separate a tool that moves a security review forward from one that just hands over a file. Here is what each should do, framed as what DeliverTrust provides:

  • Structured sections - a real trust page with an Overview, Certifications, Controls, Subprocessors, and FAQ, plus your own custom pages. Your SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI DSS marks live in context, not as loose files.
  • A self-serve NDA flow - prospects request a gated document, accept your NDA, and download it themselves, with optional one-click manual review for the sensitive ones. No emailing PDFs back and forth.
  • Watermarked downloads - gated PDFs stamped with the viewer's email and a timestamp, so a leaked copy is traceable.
  • Per-tenant encryption and an audit log - your data encrypted with a key scoped to you and rotated on a schedule, plus a record of who requested, accepted, and downloaded what, and when.
  • Visitor analytics and team roles - a simple dashboard of visitors, access requests, and downloads by document, with admin, editor, and reviewer roles so each person gets only the access they need.
  • Notifications and a custom domain - email, Slack, or webhook alerts on the workflow steps that matter to you, and your Trust Center on your own subdomain with a managed TLS certificate included.

Where DeliverTrust fits

The comparison at the top of this page is the short version: a basic document portal wins only on price and speed, an enterprise GRC suite wins on internal governance you may not need yet, and DeliverTrust gives you everything a real Trust Center should - structured sections, a self-serve NDA flow, watermarked downloads, per-tenant encryption, an audit log, roles, and a custom domain - at a flat, cancel-anytime $50/month.

We are deliberately honest about the one column we do not fill: if you truly need internal policy management and deep integrations across your stack, that is an enterprise GRC suite, not us. But if what you need is to share your security posture with buyers and speed up reviews without an enterprise contract, the middle is the right place to be - and it is the whole reason DeliverTrust exists.
