Digital Trust Share

Commitment to digital responsibility!

With the Digital Trust Label, we’re putting trust and transparency back into tech. Created in Switzerland, the Digital Trust Label is the first of its kind anywhere in the world.  The Digital Trust Label empowers users everywhere to feel safe and secure when they use digital services. Also, it gives organisations a way to convey their commitment to credibility. With an intuitive, streamlined layout and plain, jargon-free language, the Digital Trust Label builds confidence by increasing transparency where it matters. It means we all benefit from the advantages of technological advances – now and in the future.

Swiss Digital Initiative

Swiss Digital Initiative is a non-profit foundation headquartered in Geneva. We manage the Digital Trust Label and are responsible for the expertise behind the label and the final decision to award the label, in collaboration with the Board. The nomination is done after a third-party audit performed by SGS. If you are interested in obtaining the Digital Trust Label, please contact our Digital Trust Label Partners and Collaborators.

SGS

SGS has been procured as an exclusive auditing partner to ensure high audit quality and consistency across markets. Audit costs are therefore fixed based on complexity and provided transparently upfront as part of the Label fee.

The Digital Trust Label audit is based on a detailed version of the Digital Trust Criteria Catalogue. The criteria represent a clear starting point in defining what Digital Trust is and what an organisation should do to maintain it. The catalogue was developed through a 2-year collaborative/co-creative efforts with various stakeholders.
