Trust · Certifications

Every badge. Every scope. Every expiration.

Some of what follows is a formal third-party certification. Some is a posture backed by contracts and controls. Some is planned for a future date. We label which is which.

What we won't claim

The short list of things you will not find here.

  • We will not display badges we do not hold.
  • We will not claim scope that a badge does not cover.
  • We will not use the word “certified” for postures that are alignments, not audits.
  • We will not photograph paper certificates and frame them in the header.
Artifacts

Request the underlying documents.

Controls matrix, draft SOC 2 evidence, third-party pen test report, BAA, DPA, SCCs. All shareable under mutual NDA.
