## What the story says

Instacart's security and GRC team runs a self-serve Trust Center built on SafeBase, which Drata now offers, where retailers and prospects can access security documents such as SOC 2 and PCI reports. It also points partners to standardized questionnaires, uses built-in Clickwrap NDAs, and posts incident updates to reduce repetitive security review work.
