Create a Subprocessor

The subprocessor creation flow mirrors the certification experience: start with a template or a blank slate, capture vendor metadata, and publish a polished card to the Trust Center.

Prerequisites

• Admin role in the Trust Center Admin Center
• Tenant-specific subprocessor templates (optional but recommended)
• Badge asset (SVG/PNG, 512 × 512 recommended, max 2 MB)

Step 1 – Open the Subprocessors area

1. Sign in to the Admin Center.
2. In the left navigation, expand Content and choose Subprocessors.
3. Select Add Subprocessor.

You’ll land on a template selector that lists any shared vendor templates your team has created.

Step 2 – Choose a template or start blank

• Use a template when you want to inherit badge artwork, usage copy, or default locations.
• Start from scratch when onboarding a new vendor.

Templates pre-fill the form but all fields remain editable.

Step 3 – Provide vendor basics

• Vendor name: Display name shown in the Trust Center.
• Location of processing: Call out region + country or “Global” with note.
• Short description: Optional tagline for cards or reports.

Step 4 – Describe usage

Use the Markdown-enabled Usage details field to summarise:

• Why you rely on the vendor
• Data classes they touch
• Security commitments or retention windows

Consider adding bullet lists and links to relevant policies.

Step 5 – Upload a badge

1. Click the badge placeholder to select a file.
2. Choose SVG, PNG, JPG, or WEBP up to 2 MB.
3. Optionally remove the badge to revert to the template-provided artwork.

Step 6 – Review and publish

The live preview in the sidebar mirrors the Trust Center layout. When satisfied:

1. Click Create subprocessor.
2. Wait for the badge upload (if any) to finish.
3. You’ll redirect to the dedicated manage view for the new vendor.

That’s it—the vendor now appears under Our Subprocessors on the public Trust Center within the next build cycle.
