# Trust Center

> A public-facing security portal that shows customers and prospects your compliance posture.

## Overview

The Trust Center is a hosted public page where security teams, procurement officers, and prospects can review your security posture without sending you a questionnaire. You share a link — they self-serve.

It displays your active certifications, compliance frameworks, published policies, uptime status, and data residency information. For sensitive documents you can require visitors to sign an NDA before gaining access.

<Tip>
  Send your Trust Center link early in enterprise sales cycles to pre-empt security review delays. Many vendor assessments can be closed without a back-and-forth questionnaire.

</CardGroup>

## Setting up your portal

1. Go to **Trust Center** → **Portal Settings** (`/[orgId]/trust/portal-settings`)
2. Upload your company logo
3. Set the public display name
4. Add a short description of your security program
5. Configure data residency and uptime settings
6. Save — your portal is live at your unique Trust Center URL

<Note>
  The Trust Center URL is public but unlisted. Anyone with the link can view it. If you want to restrict access, use the NDA gate described below.
</Note>

## Publishing documents

You control exactly which policies and documents appear on your portal.

1. Go to **Trust Center** → **Documents**
2. Toggle visibility on any policy from your policy library
3. To add a non-policy document (e.g., a penetration test summary), upload it directly
4. Set the access level: **Public** (visible immediately) or **NDA-gated** (requires signature)

Published documents appear in the **Security Policies** section of your portal within seconds.

<Warning>
  Only publish documents you are comfortable sharing externally. NDA-gating adds a signature step but does not prevent a signed visitor from sharing the content.
</Warning>

## NDA gate

When NDA gating is enabled, visitors must enter their name and email and accept your NDA terms before accessing gated documents.

**To enable:**

1. Go to **Portal Settings** → **NDA**
2. Toggle **Require NDA for sensitive documents**
3. Upload your NDA template or use Matproof's default
4. Save

Each accepted NDA is logged with the visitor's name, email, and timestamp. You can export this log from **Portal Settings** → **NDA Signatories**.

<Note>
  NDA gating is available as a feature flag (`is-trust-nda-enabled`). Contact support to enable it for your organization.
</Note>

## Sharing with customers

Once your portal is live, copy the link from the Trust Center dashboard and share it:

* In email during security review conversations
* In your sales deck or security one-pager
* In your product's documentation or website footer
* As a response to vendor questionnaires that ask for a security page

Prospects can bookmark the URL — the page always reflects your current posture as you update certifications and policies.

## Using the Trust Center in enterprise sales

A Trust Center link reduces friction in three common scenarios:

**Vendor assessment questionnaires** — Instead of filling out every question from scratch, share the link and note which sections are answered by your published policies and certificates.

**Procurement reviews** — Buyers doing due diligence can check your security posture asynchronously, without scheduling a call with your team.

**Renewal reviews** — Existing customers can verify your continued compliance without asking for updated documents every year.

<Tip>
  Pair the Trust Center with Matproof's AI Questionnaire module. Use the Trust Center for initial visibility and the AI Questionnaire to handle formal vendor assessment forms. See [AI Questionnaire](/features/questionnaire-ai).
