Cybersecurity TrustmarkCybersecurity Trustmark

The Cybersecurity Trustmark, updated in 2023, is foundationally based on the Center for Internet Security’s 18 Critical Security Controls, as well as controls from other globally recognized frameworks, to form industry-accepted best practices. In an effort to help managed service providers (MSPs) establish a starting point for their security journey, the Cybersecurity Trustmark offers a path for CompTIA Community solution provider members who are looking to differentiate themselves by adhering to this industry standard of controls and providing an accreditation certification designating they have met or exceeded the standard set forth by their industry peers.

The Cybersecurity Trustmark is now available! Complete the interest form to be contacted with information about the readiness program and get started.

The CompTIA Security Trustmark+ is based on the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and provides a cost-effective path for demonstrating compliance with key industry regulations such as PCI-DSS, SSAE-16, HIPAA, and others reliant on the NIST Framework. ISO, the International Organization for Standards, also currently maps into the NIST Cybersecurity Framework and is reflected in elements of the CompTIA Security Trustmark+. By pairing an internal audit with a 3rd party assessment of the policies, procedures, and operations in place to identify, detect, protect, respond to, and recover from security incidents the CompTIA Security Trustmark+ provides immense value and daily applicability.

*The Security Trustmark+ is evolving into the CompTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark to meet today’s data privacy and protection challenges. Current STM+ holders have been offered the opportunity to participate in the current pilot and beta programs taking place now. To ensure no applicants are in process, the Security Trustmark+ is not currently available for purchase. Please submit this interest form if you desire to pursue the CompTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark.
