Trust center or security questionnaire: which reduces repeat questions better?

Short answer

A trust center can deflect repeat standard questions, but it does not eliminate customer-specific requirements. The strongest setup combines self-service, a maintained knowledge base and a review workflow.

Current market signal

Current vendor-risk discussions show requests expanding beyond SOC 2 into subprocessors, AI usage, data residency and supply-chain controls.

Community reports are anecdotal signals, not universal benchmarks.
