Governance & TPRM - Trust HQ®
53% of cyberattacks now involve a third party. NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001 require documented, traceable, and continuously audited cyber governance. Yet most security teams still manage their information security policies in Word files, their compliance in Excel, and their vendor audits by email. Given this reality, one question stands out: How can you effectively manage your cybersecurity governance and vendor risks, without drowning your teams in time-consuming administrative tasks?
Trust HQ® allows you to:
Organisations face a two-pronged challenge: on the one hand, increasingly stringent regulations (NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001) that require formalised, documented and audited cyber governance; on the other, a digital supply chain that is increasingly vulnerable. The compromise of critical service providers or suppliers is now one of the most commonly exploited attack vectors.
Keeping an information security policy up to date and accessible to all stakeholders, without generating hundreds of file versions
Tracking compliance in real time across multiple frameworks simultaneously, without maintaining endless tracking spreadsheets
Assessing and monitoring the cyber posture of dozens or even hundreds of vendors and subsidiaries
Demonstrating continuous security improvement to regulators, auditors, and executive leadership
Producing clear and objective executive reports without mobilizing the team for days
However, cyber governance is still too often managed in a haphazard manner: Word documents, compliance spreadsheets, emails reminding suppliers, and manually created dashboards. This approach is no longer compatible with the requirements of NIS2 and DORA, nor with the reality of today’s threats.
Trust HQ® was designed specifically to address these issues.
Designed by CISO’s for CISO’s, Trust HQ® is a bilingual (French/English) SaaS solution that covers the entire cyber governance lifecycle: from drafting the Information Security Policy (PSSI) to auditing your critical suppliers, including the monitoring of action plans and multi-standard compliance.
SecNumCloud-certified hosting (France), data sovereignty and security guaranteed by ANSSI
File-less solution, no infrastructure to deploy, simple and configurable interface
Scalable and adaptable, from mid-sized companies to large international multi-subsidiary groups
Bilingual FR / EN, suited for teams with an international dimension
Dedicated Board of Cyber team, account manager, support, and knowledge base
Trust HQ® is built around four complementary modules, which can be activated according to your priorities:
Digitise and contextualise your Information Security Policy (ISP) within a single interface. No more static documents: your policies are dynamic, accessible online and always up to date.
Put an end to the pressure of compliance audits. Trust HQ® automates the monitoring of your control plans and provides a consolidated view of your compliance status across all applicable standards.
Centralise all your cyber security action plans: security projects, SDSSI, accreditations and corrective action plans arising from audits. Delegate, monitor and report from a single location.
Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM / TPCRM) has become a critical issue. Trust HQ® structures and automates your supplier audit campaigns from start to finish.
Most security teams still manage their cyber governance using unsuitable tools: Word documents for the Information Security Policy, Excel spreadsheets for compliance, and emails for supplier audits. Trust HQ® brings about a fundamental shift in each of these areas.

| Vendor / subsidiary audits | ✅ Automated campaigns, 2FA access | ❌ Scattered emails and files |
| Action plan management | ✅ Workflows, delegation, auto reminders | ❌ Tedious manual tracking |
| Executive reporting | ✅ Ready-to-use dashboards | ❌ Time-consuming manual consolidation |
| Evidence repository for auditors | ✅ Native to the platform | ❌ Scattered attachments |
| Sovereign hosting (France) | ✅ SecNumCloud certified (ANSSI) | ❌ Often not certified |
| NIS2 / DORA / ISO 27001 compliance | ✅ Built-in control points | ❌ Must be built from scratch |
| Multi-entity management (group / subsidiaries) | ✅ Native and consolidated | ❌ Complex to consolidate |
Trust HQ® offers a fundamentally different approach:
You are a CISO at a mid-sized company with a lean security team and growing regulatory obligations (NIS2, ISO 27001). Trust HQ® allows you to digitize your information security policy, track compliance effortlessly, and produce executive reports in just a few clicks.
You manage cybersecurity for a group with multiple entities, in France or internationally. Trust HQ® provides a consolidated view of the security posture across all your subsidiaries, with workflows tailored to each perimeter and a bilingual FR / EN interface.
Banking, insurance, energy, healthcare, critical infrastructure: organizations subject to the most demanding regulations will find in Trust HQ® a tool that integrates critical control points and generates the evidence required by auditors.
You need to structure or scale your third-party risk management program (TPRM / TPCRM). Trust HQ® automates assessment campaigns, customizes questionnaires based on vendor criticality, and centralizes results in actionable dashboards.
Trust HQ® automatically generates dashboards and reports tailored to each audience, with no manual re-entry or reformatting — so CISOs spend less time preparing slides and more time managing security.
TPRM, or third-party risk management, also referred to as TPCRM (Third-Party Cyber Risk Management) in a cybersecurity context, encompasses all the processes that allow an organization to identify, assess, and manage risks associated with its vendors, service providers, and partners. In a context where more than one in two cyberattacks involves a supply chain actor, building a TPRM program has become a critical requirement and an explicit obligation for organizations subject to NIS2 or DORA.
Generic GRC (Governance, Risk & Compliance) tools cover all enterprise risks: financial, legal, operational… Trust HQ® is a specialized cyber GRC platform, built by and for security teams. It natively integrates cybersecurity frameworks (ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA, NIST, PCI-DSS…), the specifics of TPRM programs, and the operational needs of CISOs — without the complexity and cost of generic GRC tools.
Trust HQ® integrates NIS2 requirements as control points directly mapped within the Compliance and Governance modules. You can track your compliance level in real time, document evidence for auditors, delegate actions to responsible teams, and generate exportable reports. The platform also manages cross-mappings with other applicable frameworks (ISO 27001, DORA, NIST…) to avoid duplication and optimize your compliance effort.
SecNumCloud is the most demanding qualification for cloud security and data sovereignty in France (ANSSI). Hosting your security policies, compliance data, and vendor questionnaires on a SecNumCloud-certified cloud guarantees that this information remains under French jurisdiction, protected from extraterritorial legislation such as the US CLOUD Act. This is an increasingly mandatory requirement for critical infrastructure operators and any organization handling sensitive data.
Trust HQ® allows you to launch vendor audit campaigns in just a few clicks: you create or import a questionnaire, invite your vendors (who access it via a secure 2FA portal), monitor responses in real time, and receive automatic reminders. When the campaign closes, a dashboard and audit report are generated automatically. No more manual follow-up emails or Excel consolidation files.
Trust HQ® is designed for any organization that needs to structure its cyber governance, regardless of size. SMEs and mid-sized companies benefit from the simplicity of deployment (SaaS, file-less, no infrastructure to manage), pre-configured templates, and support from a dedicated account manager. Large groups leverage the multi-entity features, scalability, and consolidation capabilities to manage security at group level.
Trust HQ® allows you to fully digitize your information security policy: drafting and structuring security policies, mapping them to applicable standards (ISO 27001, NIS2…), publishing them to employees with access rights management, tracking changes, and validating before publication. The policy becomes a living document — always up to date, accessible online, and aligned with regulatory frameworks, far from the Word file collecting dust on a server.
