  AdvicePay has no dedicated trust portal (trust.advicepay.com does not resolve) — the compliance
  posture is published as a section of its own website. Enriched by hand from the page after the
  mechanical probe recorded only "SOC 2"; the detail below is quoted from that page.

    Self-Assessment Questionnaire A, performed as required by AdvicePay's processing partner
    Stripe. AdvicePay states it does not store, process or transmit cardholder data — Stripe
    performs all cardholder-data functions — which is what makes SAQ A the applicable instrument.

  note: >-
    THESE ARE NOT ADVICEPAY'S OWN ATTESTATIONS. The security page also lists its vendors'
    certifications, which is common practice but easy to misread as first-party. Recorded
    separately so no reader or scorer credits them to AdvicePay.
