Trust Builder

Reach enforcement faster with guided trust recommendations

Airlock Digital Trust Builder helps organizations move from audit to enforcement faster by turning observed execution activity into guided trust recommendations. 

Instead of requiring administrators to manually review large volumes of audit events and create rules one by one, Trust Builder analyzes activity within a policy group to identify recurring patterns across publishers, file paths, and process relationships. 

This gives security and IT teams a faster way to build and maintain application control policy while keeping administrators in control of trust decisions. 

How Trust Builder Works

Execution Pattern Analysis

Identify recurring patterns across endpoints, including code-signing publishers, stable file paths, parent processes, and grandparent process relationships.

Guided Trust Recommendations

Generate trust recommendations from observed execution activity so administrators can review, approve, suppress, or apply qualifying rules based on configured criteria.


Policy-Driven Control

Define how Trust Builder operates for each policy group, including approval behavior, trust types, thresholds, analysis periods, and recommendation limits.

Administrator Review

Use review-first workflows to validate recommendations before they become policy or apply qualifying rules automatically within defined boundaries.

Continuous Operation

Run Trust Builder on a recurring schedule so recommendations continue to reflect changes in execution activity over time.

Built-In Safety Guardrails
Help suppress less reliable trust candidates such as temporary paths, user-writable locations, and shell processes. 

Less Manual Effort. Faster Time to Enforcement.

Building application control policy can take time, especially when teams need to review large volumes of audit events and decide which activity should be trusted. 

Trust Builder helps reduce that effort by identifying recurring execution patterns and surfacing trust recommendations based on activity already observed within the environment. 

Instead of building policy from generic software lists or repetitive manual review, administrators can build policy from what is actually running. 

Put simply: Trust Builder helps teams reach enforcement faster while staying in control. 

Operational Benefits

Reduce Manual Policy Work

Reduce the effort required to review untrusted execution events and create repetitive trust rules. 

Move from Audit to Enforcement Faster

Turn observed execution activity into actionable policy recommendations that helps teams move toward enforcement faster with less manual review. 

Build Policies from Real Activity

Generate trust recommendations from observed execution activity within your environment rather than relying on predefined software lists. 

Simplify Ongoing Policy Management

Generate structured, repeatable trust rules that are easier to build, manage, and maintain. 

Keep Administrators in Control

Choose the operating mode that fits each policy group: disabled, review-first recommendations, or automatic application of qualifying rules.

Maintain Visibility and Auditability

Trust Builder-derived rules are visible within policy and recorded in policy change history, helping teams understand how policy was created. 

Trust Builder FAQs

Trust Builder is a guided trust recommendation capability in the Airlock Digital solution. It analyzes execution activity within a policy group and generates recommendations that help administrators build and maintain application control policy more efficiently. 

No. Trust Builder is not blind automatic allowlisting. It generates recommendations or applies qualifying rules based on administrator-defined settings, trust types, thresholds, and guardrails. 

Trust Builder can recommend publisher, path, parent process, and grandparent process rules based on recurring execution activity within the relevant policy group. 

No. Trust Builder recommendations are based on the customer’s own execution activity. Advisory context may be available for commonly trusted publishers where relevant, but Trust Builder does not make policy decisions based on another customer’s telemetry. 

Trust Builder reduces the effort required to review audit events and create initial rules, helping teams move toward enforcement faster during onboarding, proofs of concept, and new policy group rollouts.
