TrustSg is a nation-wide trust mark initiative by NTC to boost confidence in electronic transaction in Singapore. The trust mark serves as recognition of sound business, emphasizing that it is compliant to the latest good business practice and standards, including respecting users' privacy. Alliances with Japan and Korea had started the cross-boundary recognition of the trust mark.
Currently, the trust mark programme is compulsory for all the ministries and government agencies. To promote this, NTC through Infocomm Development Authority (iDA) and CommerceNet Singapore are administering a full grant to help companies comply with the trust marks' requirements with the objective of making Singapore a viable trusted hub. See http://www.iras.gov.sg, http://www.moe.gov.sg/, http://www.lta.gov.sg for some example references.
The Official TrustSg portal www.trustsg.com.sg was revamped and launched on the 27th May 2005. All accredited companies will be listed on this portal. We have also managed to get the portal featured on MSN, Yahoo and AsiaOne online campaigns.
Please kindly contact us for Application Forms and the TrustSg principles for your reference. The TrustSg principles will give you a clearer understanding of the various areas of audit and assessment that all companies go through prior to getting accredited. It would benefit all companies to apply for this accreditation as companies that go through the audit and certification process will be able to know if their web sites are in align with the National code of practice.
