Investor relations

A seed-stage company building a trust category.

Every business is now asked how secure it is — by its customers, its insurer, its regulator — and every one of them asks on its own form. The answer is given from memory, checked by nobody, and given again next quarter to somebody else.

Our thesis is that business trust should be reusable. One assessment, taken once, checked rather than filed, published by the business it describes and read by everyone who would otherwise have sent a questionnaire. For the organisation that depends on suppliers, that is supplier assurance it can hold a whole portfolio to. For the supplier, it is the end of the twentieth form.

That is a category, not a feature: trust delivered as a service, with a managed security company accountable behind it. The company runs the security of the businesses that hire it; the platform, Spartan Trust, lets any business prove its standing whoever runs it. Each feeds the other.
