Our Mission

Cybercrime is on the rise and becoming more sophisticated every day. Both people and businesses are at risk to threats like malware, viruses, phishing, data breaches, scams, and identity theft. Unfortunately, it’s not always clear how to identify which sites are safe and stay protected online.

At TrustedSite, our mission is to create a more transparent internet where everyone can stay safe and businesses can thrive. We believe trust should be earned, not bought, and offer resources to help businesses prove they are legitimate, reliable, and safe. With increased transparency, people can build trust in businesses and shop online with confidence.
