ANKENY, IOWA — 4 MAY 2026 — The Third Party Risk Association (TPRA), in partnership with ten leading third party risk management service providers, today announced the release of the Standard Trust Portal Guidance for Third Party Risk Management (TPRM). Designed to unify how organizations demonstrate security, compliance, privacy, and governance maturity, the guidance provides a standardized framework for building and managing trust portals, which are centralized hubs for evidence sharing and transparency between organizations and their third parties. “This guidance represents the collective voice of the TPRM community,” Julie Gaiaschi, CEO and Co-Founder of TPRA, said. “By coming together across the ecosystem, we’re simplifying due diligence and enabling a future where transparency replaces endless questionnaires.” The guidance aims to empower practitioners, vendors, regulators, and platform providers to align around a single, trusted model that reflects industry expectations and best practices for transparency, efficiency, and responsible evidence sharing. It also supports AI-driven TPRM technologies by standardizing evidence formats for automated review and analysis. The following organizations contributed perspectives and subject matter expertise to help shape this guidance (listed in alphabetical order): Aravo Bitsight Certa Drata ProcessUnity RiskRecon, a Mastercard Company SecurityScorecard Vanta Their collective insights reflect practical experience across third-party risk management, compliance automation, trust assurance, and practitioner due diligence. The document, created jointly by TPRA and the above-named service providers, is now available for free download at https://www.tprassociation.org/trust-portal . It is also currently open for comment . You can provide your comments using the submission form . The comment period is open from May 4 to July 3, 2026 .
