Abstract: A method of creating a trust profile using a computer includes receiving personal information from a user at the computer, gathering biographical information about the user, validating the personal information from the gathered biographical information, collecting risk information regarding the user according to the validated personal information from at least one data source, assessing the collected risk information, creating a trust profile for the user from the collected risk information, and enabling the user to share the trust score or trust profile with an evaluator.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for interactive visualization of a risk assessment for an entity on a graphical user interface of a computer system includes receiving, by the computer system, unstructured risk data associated with an entity, parsing, by the computer system, the unstructured risk data to produce risk information elements during a time period, combining, by the computer system, the risk information elements that comprise a single event, categorizing, by the computer system, each event in a category, generating, by a computer processor, a risk assessment for the entity from the categorized events for each time period, and displaying, on the graphical user interface, the risk assessments for each time period on a risk timeline that includes a timeline and a numerical risk scale.

Abstract: A method for interactive visualization of a decision assessment on a graphical user interface, including generating, by a computer processor, that includes generating, by a computer processor, the decision assessment model having a first set of circular sectors on a first ring, a second set of circular sectors on a second ring wherein each of the second set of circular sectors is related to a corresponding first circular sector, and a third set of circular sectors on a third ring wherein each of the third circular sectors is related to a corresponding second circular sector. The first set of circular sectors, the second set of circular sectors and the third set of circular sectors include concentric rings with a common center.
