The public face of trust and reliability
Status pages and trust centers are how companies signal reliability and
security in the open. We checked every Fortune 500 company for a
status.<domain> and trust.<domain>, then
evaluated each one.
01 Presence vs. proof
A DNS hit is not a real page
28%
10/36 resolve
of status subdomains are real
36 companies expose

10 serve a genuine status page.
43%
12/28 resolve
of trust subdomains are real
28 companies expose
trust. in DNS;
12 serve a genuine trust center.
66%
The verification gap. Nearly two-thirds of subdomains that resolve
in DNS redirect to a marketing homepage, throw an error, or park. They
don't actually publish anything.
02 What powers the real ones

Underlying vendor for each validated page, detected from DNS CNAME chains and page fingerprints.
