Our organization emerged as an answer to concerns of online information privacy, internet security and lack of decent customer service while doing business online.

TrustedSite Consortium is an independent self-regulated group of small- and medium- size internet businesses in charge of setting high level standards for conducting online business and monitoring the practices of online establishments who commit to these standards.

Our Mission
Our main mission is to become the leading and most trusted organization of self-regulated merchants united for the common goal of rebuilding trust in the internet, specifically in e-commerce.

The Difference
There are other online organizations whose goals are similar to TrustedSite, but there are three very important differences that makes us stand out:

1. We are an organization made up of small- to medium-size independent establishments. Our organization gives these small to medium size businesses an advantage over competitors and large mainstream corporations.
2. Our organization doesn't charge the exorbitant recurring fees that these other organizations charge to join them. Our annual fee is equal or less to other organization's monthly fee.
3. We focus on the three major components of customer satisfaction: Privacy, Security and Support. Other organizations usually focus on the technology side of a website.
