Assurance for electronic transactions.
tScheme helps foster a climate of trust necessary for the continuing growth of e-commerce.
tScheme certification
Overview
tScheme provides valuable assurance to those organisations relying on electronic transactions. One of the organisation’s objectives is for the Scheme to become the preferred option for fulfilling Part I of the UK’s Electronic Communications Act.
LRQA was heavily involved in the development of the scheme and is currently one of only two organisations fully accredited by UKAS and recognised as having the capability and expertise to assess electronic trust service providers (TSPs).
What is tScheme certification?
tScheme is the independent, industry-led, self-regulatory scheme set up to create strict assessment criteria, against which it will approve Trust Services. tScheme approval will therefore be an essential element in providing a level of assurance to individuals, companies and government organisations using or relying upon e-business transactions.
tScheme only applies to electronic TSPs who provide services including digital certificates and verification of identity. Organisations who rely on electronic transactions and even end-users need to be sure that TSPs deliver the services they promise honestly and efficiently.
