The Swiss Digital Initiative launched the Digital Trust Label in January 2022 (we reported on it<\/a>). The label shows the trustworthiness of a digital application such as a website or an app in simple and non-technical language. Digital applications are tested against 35 criteria in four dimensions: Security of the digital service, Privacy of the digital service, Reliability of the digital service, and Fair interaction with users, which includes notification of the use of automated decision-making processes. The set of criteria was created by the first Label Expert Committee (LEC), led by EPFL, and further developed based on feedback from several public consultations. The developed criteria serve as the basis for an independent review.<\/p>\n

Further develop trustworthiness of the label<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The mandate of the first Label Expert Committee ended with the finalization of the first version of the Digital Trust Label criteria catalog. As digital technologies are advancing rapidly, the continuous development of the label is a priority for SDI. The experts meet regularly, gather feedback throughout the year, and develop recommendations for possible adjustments to the label. Following an open application process with a number of high quality dossiers, new members have now been added to the expert committee. The new representatives come from civil society and consumer protection, the public sector and international organizations, academia and the private sector. They are experts with proven know-how and expertise in the four dimensions of the Digital Trust Label:<\/p>\n
