Automated Verification Policy

TrustDVS Automated Verification Policy

This policy defines the scope, methodology, status model, and limitations of TrustDVS verification services. TrustDVS issues verification statuses through objective, criteria-based assessments aligned with applicable reference authorities.

1. Purpose

TrustDVS exists to reduce uncertainty in digital environments by providing structured verification outcomes based on published criteria and objective signals. The goal is to enable trust, transparency, and accountability across verified entities and platforms.

2. Scope

TrustDVS verifies entities within defined categories (e.g., private sector, digital platforms, federations, regulated service providers, public entities, and non-profits). Verification is limited to the declared scope and applicable criteria mapped to the entity type.

3. Reference Authorities

Criteria are aligned, where relevant, to publicly available references issued by supervisory authorities, regulatory bodies, licensing entities, and institutional governance frameworks. TrustDVS does not claim to replace any authority, approval, accreditation, or legal licensing.

4. Verification Methodology

Verification is conducted through automated checks that evaluate identity linkage, operational presence, technical signals, compliance alignment, and transparency disclosures. Outcomes are generated through structured logic and rulesets — not subjective human decision-making.

5. Status Model

TrustDVS issues structured statuses tied to a Verification ID and a public verification record. Status availability may depend on entity type, evidence completeness, and applicable criteria.

Status	Meaning	Typical Trigger
Verified	Baseline criteria met for identity linkage and operational presence within scope.	Required evidence is validated and criteria thresholds are satisfied.
Verified & Certified	Extended verification including technical/security signals and higher criteria completeness.	Additional technical checks and enhanced transparency disclosures are met.
Affiliated / Supervised	Verified affiliation with a recognized supervisory body or umbrella authority (where applicable).	Membership/affiliation references are confirmed through official listings or validated sources.
Unverified / Incomplete	Verification could not be issued due to missing evidence, failed checks, or out-of-scope criteria.	Evidence gaps, failed integrity checks, or inability to map to applicable criteria.

6. Public Verification Record

Each verified entity may receive a public record associated with a Verification ID. The record provides a reference for verification scope, entity classification, and status at the time of assessment.

7. Certificate Issuance

Certificates may be issued under the Trustiva Verification Framework and are linked to a Verification ID. Certificates are valid only within the stated scope and may require re-verification upon material changes.

8. Monitoring, Validity & Re-Verification

Verification reflects the state of evidence and signals at the time of assessment. TrustDVS may support periodic checks, expiry rules, and re-verification triggers where applicable. If verification signals materially change, the status may be updated, suspended, or revoked until re-verification is completed.

9. Limitations & Disclaimer

TrustDVS does not provide legal, financial, medical, or regulatory advice.
TrustDVS does not guarantee the safety, quality, or performance of any service beyond the defined verification scope.
TrustDVS does not replace regulatory approvals, licensing, or accreditation processes.
Verification outcomes are based on available evidence, objective signals, and defined criteria at the time of assessment.
Misrepresentation or fraudulent evidence may result in status suspension or revocation.
