# Data Trust and Reputation Checker

> Data Trust and Reputation Checker gives one 0 to 100 trust score for any site, built from security, privacy practice, malware lists and the public record, with a high-risk verdict.

Canonical URL: https://www.startuphub.ai/trust-reputation-checker
Free to use: yes. Publisher: StartupHub.ai

## What it offers

- Security posture covers HTTPS with HSTS, Content-Security-Policy, X-Frame-Options and Referrer-Policy.
- Data practice checks whether a privacy policy is reachable and whether it references GDPR, CCPA and cookie consent.
- The tool returns a Google Safe Browsing verdict for malware and phishing.
- A grounded web search looks for breaches, lawsuits and regulatory actions, labelled as publicly reported and not as legal determinations.

## Why it is different

- Fixed weights are security 35 percent, privacy 25 percent, Safe Browsing 25 percent, reputation 15 percent.
- A Safe Browsing malware flag alone forces a high-risk verdict, whatever the other signals say.
- A signal that cannot be resolved is dropped and the score is re-normalised over the signals that did resolve.

## How to use it

1. Enter a domain and optionally the company name to disambiguate it.
2. Run the check.
3. Read the score, the verdict and the four signal rows.

## Inputs and outputs

- Inputs: A domain or URL, plus an optional company name.
- Outputs: A 0 to 100 trust score, a verdict, and a breakdown of the four signals, also available as JSON from the endpoint.

## Limits and plans

- Without signup, the checker is free to use.
- Reports are cached for a day, so a repeat check of the same domain returns the stored result.
- The MCP tool needs an API key.
