Trust Services Criteria

The Trust Services Criteria are standards used to evaluate how well an organization manages and protects sensitive information and systems. They focus on areas like security (keeping data safe from threats), availability (ensuring systems work when needed), processing integrity (accurate and reliable data processing), confidentiality (keeping sensitive info private), and privacy (properly handling personal information). These criteria help demonstrate that an organization has effective controls in place to maintain trust with customers and stakeholders by safeguarding data and ensuring services are reliable.
