Understanding TrustScore Components

TrustScore Components Explained

TrustScore evaluates several categories of publicly available information.

Digital Presence

This measures online visibility and consistency:

- Website existence and age - Social media profiles - Business directory listings - Consistency of information across sources

Identity Indicators

Information that can be cross-referenced:

- Business registration data - Contact information validity - Address verification - Domain ownership

Risk Signals

Patterns that may indicate elevated risk:

- Newly created accounts - Limited transaction history - Inconsistent information - Association with known problematic entities

How Components Combine

Each component contributes to the overall score. A weakness in one area may be offset by strength in others.

> Important Notice: Low scores in specific areas do not necessarily indicate fraud—they may simply reflect limited public information.

Limitations

TrustScore can only analyze available data. New businesses, private individuals, and those with minimal online presence may show lower scores despite being legitimate.
