Transparency certification for compliance teams

Give legal and compliance teams a publish-proof layer: verify pages, directory trust signals, and drift enforcement when live policies change without review.

Compliance teams do not need another generator that outputs checkbox PDFs. They need policies customers can read, evidence that published text matches approved language, and external signals that drift gets caught before regulators or journalists do.

Clerica certifies disclosure clarity on a public rubric — not legal adequacy — and monitors live URLs against certified snapshots. Material changes downgrade badges and Verified directory status until re-certified.

The gap compliance teams see

Marketing ships a new analytics tool; product updates the privacy policy in Notion but forgets production. Static generators do not expose a public verify URL or revocable directory trust when live text changes quietly.

Clerica verify pages show rubric scores, tier badges, and plain-language summaries consumers actually open. Integrity scans create accountability inside the org — not only external marketing.

Workflow with counsel

  • Counsel or compliance approves factual inventory and high-risk clauses
  • Team generates from wizard inputs — not copy-paste from competitors
  • Certified subscription activates directory listing and scheduled scans
  • Drift alerts trigger re-review before badge and dofollow backlink revoke

What certification is not

Clerica Verified is not a regulator stamp, SOC 2, or law firm opinion. Badges reflect disclosure clarity and transparency on verify pages. OneTrust-scale GRC, DSAR, and CMP are outside Clerica's wedge today — teams evaluating enterprise suites should compare honestly in our OneTrust comparison page.

FAQ

  • Does Clerica replace a lawyer?

    No. Clerica generates policy drafts and scores disclosure clarity on public verify pages. Consult qualified counsel for jurisdiction-specific legal advice.

  • Is cookie consent included?

    Cookie consent and CMP banners are not our focus today. Clerica focuses on privacy and terms on your domain, verify pages, and Verified directory placement. Broader compliance tooling may expand over time.

  • Can we certify policies not written in Clerica?

    The certification flow is built around Clerica generator output today. Migrate by pasting equivalent disclosures into the wizard and publishing on your monitored URL.

  • How does drift detection work?

    Scheduled integrity scans compare your live policy URL to the certified snapshot. Material disclosure changes downgrade tier, directory status, and dofollow backlink until you update and re-certify.

  • Is this a replacement for OneTrust?

    No. OneTrust serves enterprise GRC at scale. Clerica serves SMB and growth-stage teams that want publish-proof and directory trust without a six-figure platform — see our comparison for scope boundaries.
