Frequently asked questions
What is Prospecting?
Researching accounts and contacts to decide who to work, not generating the list vendor or sending mail. Jobs: account briefs; contact mapping; trigger monitoring.
What should not be listed as Prospecting?
Products whose buyer job is lead generation databases, AI SDRs, or sales copilots. Those belong on their own category page so search queries are not split.
Has AI Trustmark independently assessed every Prospecting supplier?
No. A category listing is descriptive. Independent assessment is shown only on company or product pages that carry Trustmark evidence.
What model or provider changes should a buyer insist on being told about?
Material change usually includes a new model family, new region, new subprocessor, new write-capable tool, or a change that affects logging, privacy or human oversight. Those changes should trigger evidence refresh rather than a silent release.
How should buyers verify where AI customer data is processed?
Ask for the named processing locations, cloud regions and any subprocessors that see prompts, files or outputs. A directory listing is not evidence of residency. Independent assessment records the locations that were in scope on the assessment date.
Does a TrustMark on one product cover the rest of the company?
No. Independent assessment is scoped to the named organisation and, where relevant, the named product. Category pages list suppliers as a topic label. They do not imply that every listed company has been assessed.
What incident-handling evidence is useful for AI suppliers?
Buyers should see how AI-specific failures are detected, contained and notified — including unsafe outputs, data leakage and unauthorised agent actions. An incident policy that never mentions models, prompts or tools is incomplete for this class of product.
What security testing evidence should buyers request for an AI product?
Ask what was tested, against which version, whether prompt-injection, data-exfiltration and tenant isolation were in scope, and where failed prompts were stored. A generic ISO certificate or a vendor scanner screenshot is not by itself an AI TrustMark assessment.
