Trust Layer
Output you can use without re-checking it, and defend without reconstructing it.
The Trust Layer is what makes Staple's data safe to act on. Evidence travels with the data as it is processed, so what was received, extracted, verified, changed, and approved is already on the record. When an auditor or a regulator asks, the answer is in the file, not in six months of email.
Extraction gives you data. It doesn't give you the ability to prove it.
Most processing hands you a value and moves on.
The moment someone asks how that value was produced, who touched it, under which rule, whether it was altered, the answer has to be rebuilt from disconnected logs, if it exists at all.
For a regulated enterprise, unprovable data is a liability, no matter how accurate it is.
The Trust Layer removes that gap. It runs across the whole platform, so evidence, reporting, regulatory controls, and privacy are part of processing, not a report generated after the fact.
One layer of trust, across every stage
Trust is not a step at the end. It runs horizontally across the Document, Data, and Delivery layers, so every action leaves evidence. These capabilities make that possible. Trust runs across every step, from the first document to the final handoff.
Audit Readiness
Reconstruct the full history of any document, what was received, extracted, verified, changed, and approved, without stitching together separate logs.
Reporting
Self-serve dashboards, charts, and scheduled reports, so teams can see and share the numbers behind their operation.
Regulatory Controls and Compliance
Controls that keep processing aligned with the regulations your industry answers to.
Privacy & Redaction
Redact sensitive data and enforce privacy across every document Staple handles.
Trust Vault
Staple's security posture lives in the Trust Vault, our published trust center. It holds current certifications and compliance documentation, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, GDPR, and PEPPOL, alongside the controls behind how customer data is protected. Rather than list badges across the site, we keep the evidence in one place you can review and request reports from directly.

FAQ
What is the Trust Layer in Staple's platform?
The Trust Layer is the control architecture that makes Staple's output safe to use and defensible under audit. It runs across the whole pipeline rather than sitting at the end, attaching evidence and controls to data as it is processed, so trust travels with the data instead of being reconstructed afterwards.
Is the Trust Layer just security certifications?
No. Certifications live in the Trust Vault and matter, but the Trust Layer is about product-level auditability: field-level history, exportable evidence, reporting, regulatory controls, and privacy built into how data is processed. It is what lets you answer where a number came from, not just prove the platform is certified.
How does trust span the rest of the platform?
Trust is a horizontal layer, not a stage. It runs across the Document, Data, and Delivery layers, so every action from intake through extraction, verification, and delivery leaves evidence. The record is continuous from the first document to the final handoff.
Who is the Trust Layer for?
It serves compliance, risk, and audit teams who need output they can defend, technical evaluators assessing control architecture, and business owners who need processing that holds up under scrutiny. Each can enter through the capability most relevant to them.
Where can I see Staple's certifications?
Staple's certifications and security posture are published in the Trust Vault, including SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, HIPAA, GDPR, and PEPPOL. The Trust Vault is the place to request current reports and compliance documentation.
