A sign of credibility and a symbol of quality

It's about creating strong digital societies, and the D-seal represents the ambition to achieve just that through world-class IT security and responsible, transparent data usage.

Consumers seek credibility to build trust, and businesses need a symbol that demonstrates quality and competence – the D-seal provides this as the first labeling scheme combining both IT security and responsible data usage in one label.

Anyone can experience breaches in IT security, making the D-seal relevant for all types of businesses regardless of size, sector, or prior knowledge. The criteria are based on recognized international standards.

Everyone needs to be involved if we are to succeed in creating a strong digital world, which requires a broad effort. Therefore, some of Denmark's largest trade organizations support the D-seal.
