Basic information
Set your organization’s display name and primary contact information. The organization name appears throughout the platform: in your vendor directory listing, assessment emails, and the collection portal vendors see when they submit documentation.Branding
Custom branding is an early access feature. Contact support@visotrust.com to enable it for your organization.
Logo and icon
Accepted file types:
.png and .jpg for both assets. The logo also accepts .gif, and the icon also accepts .ico. Changes save automatically, and a toast message confirms each change.
Brand color
Set a brand color that appears in vendor collection requests and email communications. Use the color picker to enter a custom hex value, or select from the preset options. Use the preview pane to see how the color looks in both the collection portal and email views before saving.Custom email domain
By default, VISO TRUST sends vendor-facing emails from a VISO TRUST address and collection portal links use avisotrust.com domain. Custom domain options let you replace these with your own branding.
Three levels of customization are available:
The email domain and the portal URL are independent settings. Verifying your domain with DKIM changes only the address vendor emails are sent from. It does not change your portal URL. If you also want branded links, select a subdomain or a fully custom domain separately.
Subdomain and fully custom domain are mutually exclusive. Setting one removes the other.
app.visotrust.com, which stays live whether or not you configure a custom domain.
Configuring DKIM
DKIM proves to receiving mail servers that VISO TRUST is authorized to send on behalf of your domain, so vendor emails from your address land in inboxes instead of spam. You need program admin access, and DNS access for the domain you want to send from.1
Open Manage domains
Go to Settings → Org Profile → Manage domains.The table lists every domain registered to your organization, with DKIM Verified and RP Domain Verified columns. VISO TRUST populates these domains automatically from your organization’s verified domains. You don’t add them here.

Open the domain's verification configuration
Click the domain name, or the gear icon on its row, to open the Domain Verification Configuration dialog.The dialog shows four values, each with a Copy to clipboard button:
- DKIM Pending Host
- DKIM Pending Text Value
- Return Path Domain
- Return Path CNAME Value
DKIM Verified instead of showing pending values.3
Add the DNS records
In your DNS provider, add the following records for that domain:
The DKIM record is required. The return-path record is optional but recommended. It aligns bounce handling with your domain and improves deliverability. A custom sending address works with DKIM alone.
4
Re-check verification
Back on Manage domains, click the refresh icon. VISO TRUST re-checks every listed domain against the email provider and updates the DKIM Verified column.DNS propagation can take 24–48 hours, so the column may stay No for a while after you add the records. Refresh again periodically rather than re-adding the records.
5
Set your sending address
Once at least one domain shows DKIM Verified: Yes, the Edit email button under Custom email becomes available. Click it and set:
- Domain: selected from your DKIM-verified domains
- Sender name: the display name vendors see
- Mailbox: the local part of the address (e.g.
tprm)
"Sender Name" <mailbox@yourdomain.com>. Click Save configuration to apply it.Edit email and Edit domain are separate controls. Edit email sets the address vendor emails come from and requires DKIM verification. Edit domain sets the branded URL in those emails and does not.
DNS troubleshooting
If a domain does not verify after you add the records:- Host formatting. Some DNS providers auto-append the domain to the host field. If verification fails with the full FQDN, try the prefix only (for example,
20240808183318pm._domainkeyinstead of20240808183318pm._domainkey.yourdomain.com). If that also fails, switch back to the full FQDN. - Underscore in host. DKIM hosts include
_domainkey. Confirm your DNS provider preserves the underscore rather than stripping it. - Record type. DKIM must be a TXT record. The return-path must be a CNAME. There is no CNAME variant of DKIM.
- Propagation. DNS changes can take up to 24-48 hours to propagate. Wait, then click the refresh icon on Manage domains to re-check.
- Cloudflare. Set the return-path CNAME to DNS only, not proxied.
- Verify from the command line. Use
digto confirm the records resolve before re-checking in VISO TRUST:dig +short TXT <DKIM Pending Host>should return the DKIM value.dig +short CNAME <Return Path Domain>should returnpm.mtasv.net..
Requests already in flight
Turning on DKIM or a custom URL does not break collection requests vendors already have:- Each collection link is identified by a unique token, not by the domain it was sent under.
- The URL the vendor originally received stays live, so the link continues to resolve.
- Only emails sent after the change use the new from address and the branded URL.
Language support
VISO TRUST’s Artifact Intelligence processes documents in any language. Assessments with non-English artifacts don’t require native-language auditors. The AI analyzes the document and returns findings and evidence quotes in English. No special configuration is needed. Proceed with assessments containing foreign-language artifacts exactly as you would with English documents.Notification contacts
Set organization-level contacts for vendor communications and incident response from Settings → Org Profile → Notifications:- Support Contact: the name and email vendors see in assessment communications
- Incident Response Contact: receives all risk advisory notifications across your portfolio
