> I don’t want to imagine how and where they might be keeping their root CA private key material.

The handling of key material is supposed to be checked as a part of the (required) yearly audits, which they have passed[1,2] (though the single auditor they’ve always used “does not audit any other publicly-trusted CAs”[3]). The links are in the Common CA Database (CCADB) [4], but it seems really hard to find a good publicly-accessible report page (I still haven’t found the older audits, for example).

ETA: For TrustCor specifically, Kathleen Wilson (responsible for the Mozilla root store) has collected the audit reports on Bugzilla[5].
