Legal & Compliance: one hub for policies, evidence & vendor risk

Keep SOC2/ISO evidence, policies, DPAs/NDAs, subprocessors, and vendor assessments organized with clear owners and review cadences. Publish a safe, read-only trust page for customers.

TL;DR: Workspaces by framework → tags for framework, control, evidence, asset, owner, sensitivity, review, status → import canonical links → publish a public trust page (safe subset) → enforce SSO/SAML & audit.

Common pain points

  • Policies, evidence, and contracts scattered across drives and GRC tools.
  • Out-of-date links during audits and security questionnaires.
  • Vendor risk artifacts hard to gather in one view.
  • Public trust info is inconsistent across sales decks/sites.

How Linkinize helps

  • Evidence map linking policies, procedures, logs, tickets, and reports.
  • Vendor shelf for DPAs, subprocessors, and assessments.
  • Public trust page (read-only) that auto-updates from the source.
  • SSO/SAML + audit for secure sharing and review trails.

How it works (6 steps)

  1. Create framework workspaces (SOC2, ISO 27001, Privacy/GDPR, Vendor Risk).
  2. Define tags: framework:* , control:access|encryption|incident|backup|change, evidence:policy|procedure|screenshot|ticket|log|report, asset:dpa|nda|subprocessor|risk|pentest|bcdr, owner:legal|security|it, sensitivity:public|internal|confidential, review:quarterly|annual, status:approved|draft|deprecated|outdated.
  3. Import canonical links: policies, DPAs/NDAs, subprocessors, risk register, pentest reports, monitoring dashboards, incident logs.
  4. Publish a Trust Center as a curated Public Page (non-confidential items only).
  5. Scope access with SSO/SAML and roles; keep evidence private, expose only summaries publicly.
  6. Set a review cadence by tag and enforce via owners + monthly audit of outdated links.

Common questions & objections

“We already use a GRC platform.”
Perfect—keep files there. Linkinize is the front door that unifies policies, evidence, vendor risk, and public trust info into one governed link hub.
“Can we safely show information publicly?”
Yes—publish only non-confidential links on a read-only Public Page. Keep detailed evidence private behind SSO with role-based access.
“Another portal to maintain?”
You save canonical URLs; content stays in GRC/Drive/Confluence/etc. Public Pages auto-update as links change at the source.
“Auditors need proofs and history.”
Link to the canonical records and use audit logs to demonstrate owners, review cadence, and status changes over time.

Faster audits, stronger buyer confidence

Teams use Linkinize to keep evidence current and sales aligned—one trust page for buyers, one evidence map for auditors.

  • • One hub for policies, evidence, DPAs, subprocessors, vendor risk
  • • Read-only public trust page that auto-updates
  • • SSO/SAML, roles, and audit logging
  • • Works with GRC suites, Drive/SharePoint, Confluence/Notion

Frequently Asked Questions

Do we store files in Linkinize?
No—Linkinize stores links and metadata. Files remain in GRC/Drive/SharePoint/Confluence with native permissions.
Can we share a subset with prospects?
Yes—publish a curated Public Page (trust center). Keep confidential evidence private and invite under NDA if needed.
How do we keep subprocessors current?
Maintain a subprocessor list as links with asset:subprocessor and status:approved; set review:annual and assign owners.
