  Akuity operates a Vanta-hosted Trust Center at trust.akuity.io holding audit
  reports and supporting documentation, and a server-rendered Security and
  Compliance page at akuity.io/security-compliance that names every framework in
  plain text. The named certifications below are quoted from that page, which was
  last updated 2026-01-30 per its own byline.

trust_center:
  url: https://trust.akuity.io/
  platform: Vanta
  machine_readable: false
  note: >-
    The trust center is a client-rendered single-page app. It returns HTTP 200
    with the same HTML shell for every path, including paths that do not exist,
    so nothing on it is machine-readable and none of its 200s are evidence on
    their own. The certifications below were therefore read from the
    server-rendered akuity.io/security-compliance page instead.
