Answer Once — Supplier Trust Profile

Build one security profile. Share it with every customer who asks.

Suppliers get hammered with a different bespoke security questionnaire from every large client — each asking essentially the same things in a different format. This tool builds one reusable trust pack, mapped to the common questions and aligned to Cyber Essentials and CAF language, that you can share as a link or export as a document. Answer once, share everywhere. The single feature SMEs will love most.

Add a shareable trust badge to your website or include it in a tender response — and show customers you take security seriously before they even ask.

How it works

Complete your profile once, then share it in whatever format each customer needs.

01

Complete your profile

Answer questions across the six profile sections. Your answers are mapped to the language used in common customer questionnaires and Cyber Essentials / CAF frameworks.

02

Generate your trust pack

The tool produces a formatted trust pack — a clean, professional document that summarises your security posture in the language your customers expect to see.

03

Share it everywhere

Share via a permanent link, export as a PDF, or embed the trust badge on your website. Update your profile once and all shared links reflect the change immediately.
