Help — what AttestLayer does not replace

Does AttestLayer replace our trust center, security review, or compliance work?

How AttestLayer fits with SOC 2 readiness platforms, trust centers, GRC tools, auditors, and legal/insurance.

AttestLayer does not replace

  • SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / HIPAA / PCI-DSS / GDPR certifications or audit engagements.
  • Compliance readiness platforms (continuous monitoring, control evidence collection).
  • Customer-facing trust centers / static disclosure portals.
  • GRC platforms (internal control management, risk registers).
  • Internal security review and approval processes.
  • Legal review, regulatory advice, or insurance products.

What AttestLayer adds

AttestLayer is the record-only packaging layer that turns the artifacts produced by these systems into a signed, verifiable per-deal packet a reviewer can authenticate in their browser. AttestLayer is typically used alongside the systems above, not instead of them.

Where the boundary matters

If a reviewer specifically requires SOC 2, an audit opinion, a legal review, or an insurance product, AttestLayer is not the right tool for that requirement. AttestLayer evidence packets do not satisfy reviewer requests that name a specific certification or audit deliverable.
