WebTrust

With the ever increasing number of companies using e-commerce for their business, the barriers towards e-commerce need to be overcome. It is a well known fact that security and privacy concerns related to confidential information impact the number of e-commerce transactions in a negative manner. Hence, there is a need for consumers to be assured that standard business practices and controls are being used by the entity. ERM can help your business gain a competitive advantage by means of the WebTrust attestation service. WebTrust covers three primary criteria:

1. Business Practices and Disclosures
2. Transaction Integrity
3. Information Protection and Privacy

WebTrust is a seal of assurance that has been jointly developed by the AICPA and the CICA. It assures consumers that the website in question has been verified to comply with the criteria stated above by a qualified CPA.

In addition to WebTrust, ERM offers other attestation services, all of which are used to assess whether certain management assertions, related to information systems functions and processes are fairly stated. These reviews result in formal opinions, issued under the Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements (SSAE) guidelines.
