About D-seal

What is the D-seal

IT security is more important than ever, and that’s why the D-seal was created to help businesses clarify their digital responsibility so that consumers can experience digital safety and together we can create a strong digital Denmark.

The D-seal is the first labeling program that, based on international standards, combines both IT security and responsible data usage into one label, relevant for all types of businesses—because anyone can experience breaches in IT security.

This also means that everyone needs to be involved if we are to succeed, and it requires a gathred effort. That’s why the D-seal was created in collaborative initiative. The Danish Industry Foundation is backing the initiative together with The Confederation of Danish Industry, The Danish Chamber of Commerce, SMEdenmark, and The Danish Consumer Council. The D-seal is supported by the Danish Business Authority and is an independent private organization.

Organisation and origin

The D-seal is managed daily by a dedicated team of employees who assist businesses throughout the entire process, from the initial self-assessment and guidance to supervision and control, leading to the final awarding of the D-seal.

The steering committee ensures proper progress and anchoring in the reality of businesses, while the D-seal's advisory board consists of members with expertise in all aspects of IT security and responsible data usage.

Below, you can see an overview of the D-seal's employees, along with the members of the steering committee and advisory board.
