Built to Trust · The Toolkit

Welcome to the Built to Trust Toolkit

Thank you for reading Built to Trust. You don’t have to start from scratch.

This toolkit is the practical companion to the book. It’s a free set of resources that your board, leadership team and frontline implementers can use to close gaps, ask smarter questions and get your company aligned on what matters most. Some readers are just starting to put trust into practice. Others are tightening what they’ve already built. Either way, there’s something here for where you are.

What’s inside

  • Learning paths for board directors, leadership teams and frontline implementers

  • Self-assessments to score your maturity and find your gaps

  • Templates and policies you can adapt, including starter security policies, a risk register and an incident holding statement

  • Checklists for onboarding and offboarding, BYOD, remote work, travel and board briefings

  • Guides to getting started without a security hire, choosing frameworks, AI governance and incident response planning

  • Real case studies from the book, with the lessons that came out of them
