Hey @AnastasiyaGolendukhi and @tbinna, thanks for your feedback; you both raise good points.
This new trust program is one part of a larger effort to evolve how trust is represented on Marketplace. Beyond the program itself, we’re also working to surface more granular trust signals e.g., compliance, security programs (like pen tests), and data residency, and implement trust-based filtering so that customers can quickly identify apps that meet their specific procurement requirements. This is called out in RFC-124 as part of the broader vision.
Anastasiya, on your question around security questionnaires specifically, we want to be transparent here. As noted in RFC-124, this new trust program will not eliminate the need for customers to send partners security questionnaires: both customers and partners have confirmed that, despite vendor-specific trust programs and compliance certifications, security questionnaires will most likely remain a thing. However, the program will help partners obtain the necessary information to complete the questionnaires more quickly and efficiently.
The goal here isn’t to add a hoop nobody looks at; it’s to create a shared, verifiable baseline that benefits both partners and customers.
