Overview of TrustLink Interface
TrustLink Interface (TLI) is a WCF service that accepts integrations between outside systems and the TrustLink applications.
This interface can work in conjunction with the Scheduler Poller Windows Service which is a mechanism that launches integration code on a scheduled basis. This is an option for clients, but the TrustLink Interface works independently of the Scheduler Poller.
If you would like more information on our interface or to speak to someone regarding an integration opportunity, please click the "Contact Us" button below.

Upon access to TrustLink, the system automatically is directed to utilize a Secure Socket Layer (SSL), which is a secure encrypted data transport layer to and from the TrustLink servers. Other features include added layers of encryption of any sensitive data throughout the website as well as at the database level. In addition, TrustLink utilizes true three tier system architecture, which means there is no direct access from our web servers to the database. The database is safe and secure behind First American corporate firewalls, with controlled and limited access. A Security Vulnerability Scan of the TrustLink software is performed monthly. We are a public company audited by external accounting firms and regulated by IT control entities such as SOX. We have a robust system of internal controls to ensure data security.
