SafeBase: Transforming Trust Management with an Innovative Platform

In discussion with Al Yang, CEO and co-founder of SafeBase, we explored how their Trust Center
Platform is revolutionizing the way businesses handle security reviews between buyers and vendors.
Traditional security reviews are often plagued with inefficiencies and delays, leading to prolonged sales
cycles and eroded trust. SafeBase addresses these challenges head-on by providing a centralized and
automated method for trust management. With SafeBase, buyers can easily access a vendor’s security
posture, certifications, policies, and audit reports, significantly streamlining the review process and
ensuring compliance standards are met without the usual friction.

This innovation is particularly timely, given that third-party breaches have surged by 68% year over year.
Additionally, 91% of organizations reported a software supply chain incident in the past year, emphasizing
the critical need for robust supply chain security. SafeBase’s Trust Centers offer a comprehensive
solution by serving as a transparent source of truth for customers evaluating vendor security and
compliance with regulations such as HIPAA and GDPR.

“Our goal has always been to change the way companies manage their trust posture,” said Al Yang, CEO
and co-founder of SafeBase. “Businesses must make their supply chain security a priority, and this

means building trust through transparency with their vendors and third-party partners. Prioritizing a
company’s security and trust posture is a critical step in protecting sensitive data, and centralizing those
efforts in a connected digital ecosystem benefits businesses, vendors, and everyday people, and helps
mend today’s broken approach to security reviews.”

Notably, SafeBase is trusted by high-profile companies like Abnormal Security, Amplitude, Asana,
Axonius, ClickUp, Datadog, Gigamon, GitLab, Jamf, LinkedIn, OpenAI, and Plaid. The platform continues
to evolve with features like AI Questionnaire Assistance, which uses artificial intelligence to expedite
security questionnaires, and new integrations with Salesforce and G2. These enhancements
demonstrate SafeBase’s commitment to helping businesses communicate their security posture
proactively and effectively.

Overall, SafeBase is setting new benchmarks in trust management by providing an efficient, accurate,
and secure solution that combines human expertise with advanced automation, paving the way for
businesses to effectively display and manage their security and trust posture.
