Mission
The mission of the Online Trust Coalition is to achieve and maintain trust in the cloud.
Through public-private collaboration, we are working on a uniform, standardized, and harmonized approach, allowing providers to demonstrate reliability and enabling consumers to easily ascertain the presence of reliability.
Strategy
We execute our mission by embedding Dutch solutions within the European policies regarding cloud and cybersecurity. Netherlands leverages its leadership in auditing, assurance, and accounting traditions as part of this endeavor. The OTC opts for a broad multi-stakeholder approach, encouraging coalition partners to actively engage with the action points and outcomes themselves. The OTC doesn’t position itself as a formal advisory body but aims to create breakthroughs through the practical application of solutions and the exchange of facts, figures, and substantive arguments with all relevant stakeholders in the Netherlands and the EU. The OTC also bears the responsibility of ensuring that Dutch initiatives remain aligned with developments within the EU.
