INTRODUCTION SysTrust and Webrust are registered Marks (branded services) of the CICA. These services are based on Principles and Criteria developed jointly by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) and the CICA. These principles and Criteria are called the Trust Services Principles and Criteria. To use these Marks, a practitioner needs to be licensed by the CICA. The licensed practitioner provides a report that gives assurance attesting to an entity's compliance with some or all of the Trust Services Principles and Criteria. The client is then permitted to display the appropriate SysTrust or WebTrust mark on its web site. We have various programs for consumer and business to business sites, as well as certification authorities. These include programs relating to Privacy, Availability, Security, Processing Integrity, and confidentiality. In addition, there is WebTrust for Certification Authorities and the related WebTrust for Certification Authorities - Extended Validation Certificates that is a program specifically designed to meet the needs of the digital certificate industry. These are explained below. |
