Maintaining optimal data security and privacy requires more than just strong encryption–organizations and system end users must establish a high level of mutual trust. Part of what makes Direct Secure Messaging and the DirectTrust™ network so strong is the common set of “trust” standards that each member of the network must adopt. Known as the Trust Framework, these standards are defined by DirectTrust as “a common set of agreed upon standards for disparate entities to establish trust… each new connection between organizations and their users/clients grows the network of exchange participants at an exponential, rather than linear, rate.” In this infographic created by DirectTrust, you will learn more about the Trust Framework, its components, and what it means for your organization.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Trust Framework in Direct Secure Messaging?
The Trust Framework is the common set of agreed-upon ‘trust’ standards that every member of the DirectTrust network must adopt. DirectTrust defines it as standards that let disparate entities establish trust, making Direct Secure Messaging and the DirectTrust network strong and reliable.
Why is a Trust Framework needed beyond encryption?
Maintaining optimal data security and privacy requires more than strong encryption; organizations and end users must also establish a high level of mutual trust. The Trust Framework provides the shared standards that make that mutual trust possible across participating entities.
How does a Trust Framework help the exchange network grow?
Because members adopt a common set of standards, each new connection between organizations and their users grows the network of exchange participants at an exponential, rather than linear, rate, expanding secure interoperability across the ecosystem.
What is DataMotion's standing in the DirectTrust Trust Framework?
DataMotion is a DirectTrust accredited HISP, Certificate Authority (CA), and Registration Authority (RA), and a proud member of the DirectTrust network, meaning it operates under the network’s Trust Framework standards.
