WHAT WE DO FOR YOU
TrustNet provides the people, process and technology
DEDICATED TEAM
We plan and execute all compliance work
Compliance requires hard-to-find skills and experience (cybersecurity, IT, and audit) . Lack of skills and experience increases the likelihood of errors and audit failure has very negative consequences
The TrustNet team does the heavy lifting of compliance to meet your objectives year-round. Our industry-leading technology and skilled team of experts unite to deliver world-class service 24/7.
TrustNet serves clients of all sizes, across multiple industries with extensive expertise and over a decade of experience.
PLAN AND EXECUTE ALL COMPLIANCE WORK
Jumpstart your compliance/audit-preparation effort
TrustNet accelerates compliance with best-in-class framework, control libraries, automated evidence-collection processes, and pre-certification audit-readiness assessments.
TrustNet provides dedicated and trained compliance experts. We optimize compliance tasks by creating, organizing, automating, and monitoring compliance activities. With TrustNet, you can get started quickly with a compliance framework, cut out manual work and gauge your audit-preparedness posture in real-time.
Utilize compliance program templates
The platform comes with a quickstart template for SOC 2 and a growing library of others – including ISO 27001, PCI and many others; each featuring requirements and illustrative controls.
Measure Progress
With filterable dashboards and drill-down reports, TrustNet pros quickly gauge readiness for an upcoming audit, see what work needs to be done, who’s responsible for the next steps, and whether adjustments need to be made to their project timeline.
AUTOMATION
Define, standardize and automate workflows
TrustNet’s platform comes with workflow optimization and automation features that make control mapping (to compliance requirements and to other controls), control implementation, evidence collection, testing, and monitoring far more organized and efficient.
Assign Control Ownership
Our platfform makes it easy to assign controls to individuals or teams, call out what they need to do to operate a control, and when review activities need to happen. And it’s simple to re-assign controls when people shift around.
Streamline Control Management
As the scope of certifications increases, compliance teams may need to onboard additional products and/or owners onto controls. The platform’s team assignments allow for quick onboarding of new products and/or control owners through child controls while maintaining common information at the parent control level.
EVIDENCE MANAGEMENT
An evidence management system that scales
Evidence collection is tedious and expensive engineering resources waste time gathering audit evidence. With our platform we save time when collecting evidence of controls’ effectiveness, while ensuring that evidence collection tasks happen consistently to produce relevant and fresh compliance artefacts.
Re-use Evidence
With our platform, all evidence can be centrally stored, categorized appropriately, labeled, mapped back to specific controls and regulatory requirements, and made accessible to stakeholders across all various corporate and product groups.
Ensure consistent evidence management
Evidence can be shared across an organization so that stakeholders in one business unit or group can see what another group is doing and apply those same policies and practices within their domain. This helps ensure that consistent evidence management practices are implemented across a company.
Automatically collect latest policies
Security assessments always involve an auditor’s review of your company’s current security policies, incident response plan, business continuity plan, privacy policies, and other documents. The platform integrates with many cloud-based file storage systems so the latest versions of company policies and key documents can be pulled in automatically.
Automatically collect fresh evidence
We can automatically collect proof from dozens of cloud-based apps and services on a cadence or on-demand. Types of proof we can automatically collect include: Backup settings, encryption settings, access groups, lists of users, code change management evidence, and more.
CONTINUOUS
Audit management and continuous compliance
TrustNet manages audit lifecycles year-round, pre-certifies controls before audits begin, and manages information requests and external audits.
We break down risk silos and avoid redundant activities. Then identify, assess, and manage your risks in the context of your company’s core mission and objectives.
Identify, Assess and Prioritize Risks
Risk owners from all functions and business units can document their risks and risk treatment plans, and organizations’ leaders can better prioritize risk management activities. Risk scoring criteria can be customized.
Integrate Risk and Compliance Activities
We tie a control to a risk and gauge how much of a specific risk has been mitigated by existing controls vs. the residual risk that remains. Provide your leadership team with insights into how risks are being managed and which risk mitigation activities to prioritize.
REAL-TIME VISIBILITY
Report on your risk, security and compliance posture
With TrustNet you can monitor your risk, security, and compliance posture in real-time via dashboards, showcase your progress with custom reports, and effectively communicate to company executives why security and compliance work matter.
