CPAs
When the questionnaire arrives, send proof.
Clients and partners want a Trust Credential they can verify, not another verbal assurance about tax files and financial data.
Bronze signals completed readiness assessment and review, not that controls are already perfect.
Photography is illustrative.
Why cpas start here
- Vendor and client security questionnaires that stall proposals
- Referral partners who want proof before sending sensitive work
- No public way to show readiness without overclaiming compliance

Time to badge
Audit first. Then a live listing.
Most Solo Bronze owners complete the pathway in a few weeks. Review timing depends on how complete the documented responses are, not a countdown clock.

Credentialing pathway
