Compliance platform
TrustVendor + LowerPlane
TrustVendor is a LowerPlane product. The two share a unified data plane, a single authentication layer, and a common tenant model — there is no connector to install and no API key to manage. LowerPlane customers access continuous vendor evidence, posture scoring, and signal delivery natively within their existing LowerPlane workspace.
How data flows
TrustVendor's collection and scoring pipeline runs as a dedicated module within the LowerPlane platform. Vendor posture scores, assurance levels, open signals, certification status, and subprocessor changes are surfaced directly in LowerPlane's GRC workflow — no sync, no polling, no latency introduced by an external integration. The ten TrustVendor signal types route through LowerPlane's existing alert and workflow engine, so vendor risk events appear alongside your other compliance signals in the same queues your team already monitors. Tenant data — privately uploaded SOC 2 reports, evidence requests, internal risk notes — is scoped to your LowerPlane account and is never exposed externally.
What native means in practice
- 1 Your LowerPlane vendor register is automatically mirrored into TrustVendor monitoring. No import, no re-entry.
- 2 Signal routing follows your existing LowerPlane alert configuration — Slack channel mappings, Jira project assignments, and severity thresholds apply immediately.
- 3 Evidence requests sent through LowerPlane's vendor management module use TrustVendor's extraction pipeline. Responses are span-cited the same way public documents are.
- 4 Posture and assurance scores appear as a native column in the LowerPlane vendor register, updated continuously rather than on a manual refresh.
- 5 Audit exports from LowerPlane include TrustVendor evidence artifacts with their SHA-256 hashes — your auditors get a single ZIP, not two separate data exports to reconcile.
