Trust is an essential part of e-commerce. What is your policy towards the privacy of your clients? How secure is your Web site? Considerable trust can be given to a 'Web seal' provided by Deloitte.

We assess your management assertions with regard to your systems and the organization behind them. This may concern the security and reliability of your data processing. After having successfully completed the investigation we provide you with a 'Web seal' for your Web site. This seal is a digital certificate signed by our specialists. Our 'Web seal' states that:

• your Web site security claims have been audited
• during the audited period, you took adequate security measures.

Trust Services criteria - previously known as SysTrust and WebTrust criteria - are laid down in a code developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA). This code concerns security, availability, confidentiality, integrity and online privacy.
