TrustCloud, the Trust Assurance platform that uses AI to upgrade GRC into a profit center, has released a free version of TrustShare for startups. TrustShare, part of the TrustCloud platform, uses AI to pre-fill up to 90% of most security questionnaires, and creates a dynamic, branded portal where companies can invite potential customers to securely review their compliance certifications.

The free offering joins TrustCloud’s free SOC 2 and NIST-CSF readiness product for startups, democratizing access to enterprise-grade security solutions.

Startups are often required by prospective customers to answer lengthy and complex security questionnaires, which can be a huge strain on their already limited resources. TrustShare is proven to reduce time spent on security questionnaires in two ways: Creating a compliance portal that lives on a company’s website and reduces the number of questionnaires they receive by as much as 75%, and using AI to pre-fill up to 90% of each security questionnaire based on prior responses and other security information. By saving time on reviews, and saving money on GRC tools, startups can focus their resources on critical business growth.

Startups can sign up for free SOC 2 and NIST-CSF readiness, along with a security questionnaire answer tool and compliance portal here.
