  • For the other principles, we refer you to a different page of this website. More information

The Online Trust Coalition is a coalition of organisations from government, business and science.

The mission of the Online Trust Coalition is to bring about, through collaboration between public and private entities, the harmonisation and uniformity necessary to achieve the goals and to anchor the ‘Dutch’ solutions, which result from a multi-stakeholder approach, in European policy.

The goal of the OTC is to provide a simple, efficient method through which cloud service providers can show that their services are reliable and secure. And, a method that helps with the implementation of the relevant legislation and regulations. More information
