01.Trust Center Platform Provider
This Trust Center is hosted and maintained by WatchDog Security Technologies Inc. as a software-as-a-service platform. WatchDog functions strictly as a neutral technology provider, supplying only the technical infrastructure that enables the Domain Owner to publish and display their own content. WatchDog does not create, author, edit, verify, validate, or endorse any content displayed herein. The Domain Owner whose information is displayed in this Trust Center ("Domain Owner") is solely responsible for all content published through this platform.
02.WatchDog Badges and Automated Assessments
This Trust Center may display one or more "WatchDog Badges" that indicate compliance assessment scores. You must understand the following critical limitations regarding any WatchDog Badges displayed:
(a) Not a Certification: WatchDog Badges ARE NOT certifications, third-party audits, guarantees of compliance, or warranties of any kind. They do not represent that the Domain Owner has been certified by any accredited certification body or regulatory authority.
(b) Based on Self-Reported Data: WatchDog Badges are generated either through automated software analysis of data and documentation self-reported by the Domain Owner, or through manual issuance by WatchDog based on alternative criteria. In either case, WatchDog does not independently verify, validate, investigate, or audit the underlying data for accuracy, completeness, or truthfulness.
(c) Automated Assessment Only: The assessment process is fully automated using WatchDog's proprietary algorithms. No human review, validation, or professional judgment is involved in generating these assessments.
(d) Point-in-Time Snapshot: Each Badge reflects an assessment as of a specific date shown on or near the Badge. This assessment may not reflect the Domain Owner's current compliance status or security posture.
(e) No Endorsement: The display of a WatchDog Badge does not constitute an endorsement, recommendation, or validation of the Domain Owner by WatchDog or any standards-setting body.
(f) Separate Disclaimers: Badge disclaimers may be displayed adjacent to the Badge, through hover/click functionality, or in the Domain Owner's legal documentation as permitted under WatchDog's Terms and Conditions.
(g) No Affiliation with Standards Bodies: WatchDog is not affiliated with, nor endorsed by, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA), the UK National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), or any other standards-setting body or regulatory authority associated with the compliance frameworks referenced in any Badge.
