Sharing your record.

Where the link goes

• In proposals and quotes, where it demonstrates the business is looked after by somebody
• In the footer of your site, where it sits permanently at no effort
• In partner and supplier onboarding, where the same questions get asked every time
• In responses to insurers and procurement, in place of assembling documentation
• In client reporting, if you are an agency looking after somebody else's domain

What it saves

The questions that arrive from outside are repetitive and time consuming: is this looked after, since when, has anything lapsed, who is responsible. Answering them individually costs an hour each time and produces an assurance rather than evidence.

A link answers all of them at once, from a source the other side can check for themselves, which is a materially stronger position than being believed.

Control over what is shown

The page is public by default because it is meant to be shared, and it shows only public facts about a domain. You can switch it off entirely at any time. On the top plan it can sit on your own subdomain so it reads as part of your site rather than ours.

Knowing it is read

On plans with retention, the record notes when it was opened by someone outside the business. Two things follow from that. You find out whether anyone is actually reading it, which tells you whether sharing it is worth doing. And the access history becomes part of the record itself.

One honest note

If you never share the link, this is a private monitoring tool with a good memory, which is still worth having. The published record only does its job if it ends up somewhere other people encounter it, so it is worth putting in one durable place rather than sending it once and forgetting.

For what the other side is actually asking, see what procurement actually asks.
