About Digital Trust Audit
Digital Trust Audit is an independent UK body that checks what a customer, a bank, a procurement team or an AI answer engine can verify about a business from the outside, against a published standard, and does not sell the remediation. It is operated by Digital Trust Audit Ltd.

The registered office is a registered office. This body has no premises and no staffed office, which is the ordinary position for a business that works entirely from public sources and delivers a document.
Digital Trust Audit is a private scheme
It is not a statutory scheme. It carries no government endorsement, no national accreditation and no public authority. It is not connected to UK CertifID or the UK digital identity and attributes trust framework, and it does not assess trading conduct.
What it has instead is a published standard, objective criteria applied without discretion, a register that shows withdrawals, and a published appeals route. Anyone can check whether we applied our own rules, which is the only form of accountability available to a scheme that has not been given authority.
Who owns it
Digital Trust Audit is privately owned.
Four rules keep the assessment separate from whoever carries out the work that follows:
The criteria are published and carry no discretion. Score thresholds and the hard floor are printed in the standard. A certifier with no judgement to exercise has no favour to grant, and anyone can recompute the result.
The assessment is run and scored before any remediation relationship exists. Nobody with an interest in remediation work touches a score. A re-assessment after fixes is a new, dated assessment, never an amendment to an old one.
No commission is taken. This body takes no payment from any firm carrying out remediation, whether or not it introduced them. Partner agencies pay a flat fee to submit assessments, never a fee linked to what a client goes on to buy.
Connections are stated on the report. Where this body has any connection to an assessed business, or to the supplier who built or maintains what was assessed, it is named in the report. Where the connection is a common owner or a common director, it is described as one.
Partners
Assessments are introduced by partner agencies. A partner introduces; this body assesses and signs; the partner, or anyone else the business chooses, carries out the work that follows. Three parties in the sentence, and the middle one has no interest in the outcome.
We ran the assessment on ourselves first
Working out which of the group’s own companies could hold a certification surfaced, in two days and without anyone looking for them, a registered office on a mass-registration list, a domain registered at an address about to belong to a different company, a WHOIS privacy setting designated for a non-trading individual on a domain about to trade, and two companies displaying no statutory particulars on their websites.
None was serious and all were cheap to fix. They were found because the questions were asked in order, by the method this body sells, applied to the house that built it. They were fixed before this site was published.
