SGS Launches “SGS DIGITAL TRUST” Framework to Strengthen Global Digital Trust
SGS today unveiled the SGS DIGITAL TRUST initiative, a comprehensive global framework designed to help organisations build and maintain digital trust across emerging technologies, services and complex infrastructures.
The framework brings together SGS’s wide-ranging services in cybersecurity, privacy, fairness, transparency and sustainability under one structured approach. The initiative supports industries from critical infrastructure and mobility to payments, semiconductors and digital identity.
What the SGS DIGITAL TRUST Framework Delivers
Unified Service Offering
SGS has consolidated its digital-trust capabilities previously distributed across various brands into this single framework. It draws on expertise from brands like Brightsight, CertX, ArcLight and more.
Four Strategic Pillars
The framework is built around four core pillars that cover the end-to-end digital trust landscape:
-
Connected Products & Technologies
-
Digital Services & Infrastructure
-
Data & Artificial Intelligence
-
Organisations & People
Key Dimensions of Trust
Across these pillars, SGS emphasises:
-
Safety of products and operations
-
Cybersecurity and robustness
-
Privacy and data protection
-
Fairness and transparency in AI and systems
-
Sustainability and long-term governance
Broad Industry Support
The initiative is aimed at sectors with high complexity and risk: critical infrastructure, med-tech, mobility, consumer electronics, telecoms, payments, digital identity and semiconductors.
Operationalising Trust
SGS will support clients through secure design and development, compliance audits, technical evaluations, and continuous monitoring all under the new framework.
Why This Matters in Today’s Digital Landscape
As organisations rapidly adopt AI, IoT and interconnected services, the risk landscape is expanding. Traditional compliance and testing frameworks are no longer sufficient by themselves. The SGS framework represents a shift toward proactive, structured, and cohesive assurance for the digital age.
-
Integration across disciplines: By unifying cybersecurity, privacy, product safety, AI ethics and sustainability, SGS offers a holistic assurance model rather than a collection of silos.
-
Scalability and global consistency: For multinational enterprises or cross-border systems, a consistent framework helps streamline trust-building across geographies.
-
Market differentiation: Organisations that can demonstrate credible digital trust may gain advantage with regulators, partners and customers.
-
Governance amid complexity: With technologies evolving fast (e.g., generative AI, connected products), the framework helps embed governance from development through to deployment.
Geraldine Picaud, CEO of SGS, commented:
“As part of Strategy 27, digital trust is a key growth pillar for SGS. This new framework takes our expertise to the next level, strengthening our role as an independent partner helping organisations secure, innovate and operate with confidence in the digital economy.”
