Trust Badges

Create and embed public trust badges on your website to demonstrate your security posture to customers.

What Are Trust Badges?

Trust badges are embeddable widgets that publicly display your APVISO security testing status. They show visitors that your application is regularly tested for vulnerabilities, building confidence in your security practices.

Creating a Trust Badge

  1. Navigate to Settings → Trust Badges.
  2. Click Create Badge.
  3. Select the target the badge represents.
  4. Choose a badge variant (see below).
  5. Configure display options (framework, date format).
  6. Click Generate.

APVISO creates a unique, publicly accessible badge URL.

Badge Variants

Status Badge

A simple badge showing the last scan date and overall status (e.g., "Last tested: April 10, 2026 — No critical findings"). Similar in style to a GitHub Actions status badge.

Compliance Badge

Shows your posture score for a specific framework (e.g., "OWASP Top 10: 95%"). Updates automatically after each scan.

Detailed Badge

A larger widget showing finding counts by severity, last scan date, and compliance scores. Suitable for a dedicated security page.

Embedding on Your Site

Each badge provides multiple embed options:

HTML

html
<a href="https://app.apviso.com/badge/your-badge-id">
  <img src="https://app.apviso.com/badge/your-badge-id.svg" alt="APVISO Security Status" />
</a>

Markdown

markdown
[![APVISO Security Status](https://app.apviso.com/badge/your-badge-id.svg)](https://app.apviso.com/badge/your-badge-id)

Badge images are served as SVG for crisp rendering at any size.

Badge Security

  • Badges only display aggregated information — they never expose specific vulnerability details.
  • You control exactly what information each badge shows.
  • Badges can be paused (showing a generic "Security tested by APVISO" message) or deleted at any time.
  • Badge URLs include a random ID and cannot be guessed.

Tier Availability

  • Starter — 1 status badge.
  • Professional — 5 badges of any variant.
  • Business — unlimited badges.
  • Enterprise — unlimited badges with custom branding.

Why Use Trust Badges?

  • Build customer confidence by demonstrating proactive security testing.
  • Differentiate from competitors who do not publicly commit to regular testing.
  • Satisfy customer security questionnaires that ask about penetration testing practices.
  • Provide a quick visual indicator for your security or trust page.
