Step 1 · Watched

First, someone finally looks

The free scan runs ten checks against the Trusted Site standard, starting with the two biggest hidden risks: undisclosed AI and tracking without consent.

The report lands in your inbox with a verdict on every check and the reason behind it. Free names the problem. Everything after that is your call.

The scan takes minutes. The report is yours to keep. →

Step 2 · Fixed

Then, the findings get handled

Every finding comes with a fix path included in your plan. SiteTrust Consent takes tracking from ask-nobody to ask-first. Disclosure pages and policy updates keep the legal view aligned with site reality.

One snippet, guided setup, and an evidence test before you are done. No finding on the list is unfixable; that is how the list was built.

Every finding comes with a fix path. →

Step 3 · Proven

Then, the work goes on the record

Pass all ten checks and the badge goes live: not a logo, a record. It opens to a certificate view showing every check, every verdict, and the review dates.

Customers check you before they buy. Partners check you before they sign. The record answers before anyone asks.

The badge is one line of code, live the day you pass. →

The last rung
The liability no fix can remove is covered by SiteTrust AI Risk Coverage.
Eligibility begins with the Verify plan. Quotes are individual. Coverage is available, never required.
Step 4 · Covered

Last, coverage for what remains

The first three steps make the risk small. Disclosure, consent, and published proof do most of the work. For the liability that remains, SiteTrust places AI Risk Coverage as a licensed insurance agency.

Your registry record and evidence travel with the submission, so the underwriter meets a documented site instead of a mystery.

Common questions

How long does the whole process take?

The scan takes minutes and the report arrives the same day. Every finding comes with a fix path, and the badge goes live the moment your site passes all ten checks.

Do I need technical help on my side?

Usually not. Setup is one snippet with guided installation, and it works with WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Wix, and Webflow.

What does it cost?

The scan and report are free. Trusted Site plans start at $299/year, and include the fix path, badge, and certificate view.

What if my site fails some checks?

Falling short on the first scan is a normal starting point. Every finding on the report is fixable and the re-test confirms the work.

Is step four required?

No. Coverage is available to Verified sites and never required. Many customers stop at Proven and still keep the full trust record.

Four steps. One record.

Hidden risks, handled. Trusted Site, earned. What remains, covered.
