Verification Framework

Trustiva Verification Framework

Verification Framework

The TrustDVS Verification Framework defines how verification statuses are issued, recorded, and maintained. Assessments are criteria-based and evidence-backed — scoped, time-bound, and mapped to applicable references.

What the framework is

TrustDVS operates as an automated verification framework that evaluates digital platforms and regulated entities against published, objective criteria derived from regulatory references, institutional requirements, and operational signals. Verification is not a marketing badge — it is a recorded status with a public reference record.

Framework Principles

Objective over claims
Statuses are issued based on criteria checks — not self-declarations.
Evidence-backed
Verification relies on submitted documents, signals, and references.
Scope-defined
Every verification is issued for a declared scope — not unlimited coverage.
Time-bound validity
Statuses may expire or require reassessment when validity ends.
Public record transparency
Each status is linked to a public record via a Verification ID / QR.
Continuous monitoring
Signals may be monitored to detect changes impacting the status.

Verification Layers

Identity Layer
Confirms entity identity through official references and validated ownership/representation signals.
Operational Layer
Evaluates operational presence and accountability signals (contact channels, domain control, real activity indicators).
Technical & Security Layer
Reviews baseline technical trust signals (security posture, integrity signals, and relevant technical indicators).
Compliance / Supervisory Layer
Maps the entity to applicable supervisory or licensing references where required for the declared scope.

Verification Status Model

Active (Verified)
Criteria met for the declared scope. Public record available via Verification ID / QR.
Pending
Submission received and documents under validation. Status is not yet active.
Expired / Revoked
Validity ended or material change detected. Reassessment is required to regain active status.

Note: Status definitions are fully detailed in the Verification Policy. Verification is always scope-defined.

Scope, Evidence & Certificate

  • Scope-defined: Entities declare the scope (what is being verified) before assessment.
  • Document-backed: Applicants upload required legal and operational documentation for validation.
  • Recorded output: TrustDVS issues a Verification ID, status summary, and certificate/badge where eligible.
  • Public reference: The certificate QR links to the Verify Record page showing the official status.

What TrustDVS is NOT

  • Not a regulatory license or government approval.
  • Not a legal certification that replaces supervisory authorities.
  • Not a guarantee of business performance or service quality.

TrustDVS verifies alignment with published criteria and available evidence at the time of assessment.
