What Does Trust Mean? Three Drata Customers Answer
We tapped into the brains of three Drata customers on how they use their Trust Center to establish trust through transparency and security.
The word trust is tossed around a lot in the compliance industry, but it can be challenging to determine what trust means for different companies. Without anything concrete to back it up, trust is an abstract concept.New cyber threats and techniques are announced daily across the globe while strict data privacy regulations lag behind the advancement of technology.
Customers urgently request transparency in how companies safeguard their data. Transparency in data privacy and security practices builds trust between your company and your customers.
So how do you build trust between your company and your prospects, vendors, or partners? How do you prove that your security posture is built to protect the supply chain?We tapped into the brains of three leaders who work among the Drata customer portfolio on how they use their Trust Center to establish trust through transparency and security.
How Do You Build Trust?
Our customers understand that compliance isn’t just a one-and-done process. It’s an ongoing commitment to have a security-first approach to handling data. Being transparent with data practices and continuously monitoring controls are just a few ways to build trust.

Merge API uses one API to integrate with all HR, payroll, recruiting, accounting, ticketing, and CRM platforms. They know it’s their responsibility to ensure personally identifiable information (PII) they handle is kept safe.

We want current and prospective customers and partners to feel confident in our product and our measures to safeguard their data. Drata’s Trust Center empowers us to publicly share our security posture in real time, providing them peace of mind and allowing us to stand out in a competitive market.” —Gil Feig, Co-Founder, Merge API
At the top of Merge API’s Trust Center, a continuous monitoring badge is displayed. It means they publicly share their security posture in real time. Their Trust Center contains their SOC 2 Type 2 report, results of their pen test, data privacy policies, and the various controls being continuously monitored. With its strong security posture readily available, Merge API has the upper hand against competitors.
