CompTIA Security Trustmark

Prove You Know Security with the CompTIA Security Trustmark™

The CompTIA Security Trustmark, a vendor-neutral business-level accreditation, identifies solution providers that follow security best practices. Clients know that businesses with the Trustmark designation will keep their information safe. For solution providers, gaining the trustmark means increased marketability, efficiency and productivity. The main objective of the accreditation is to create and continually update the baseline standards of security practices around service and support competencies for solution providers. It was developed with the support of top technology companies like McAfee, Microsoft, Kaseya and Symantec.

The CompTIA Security Trustmark is for:

• IT Vendors who need security qualified solution providers to ensure their products are installed and maintained with high customer satisfaction
• Solution Providers, especially small and medium size firms, who need to show both vendors and end-users they have these core competencies and maintain security best practices
• End-Users who want to be assured that their product vendor uses solution providers who practice industry best security practices to provide peace of mind
