In January 2010, a report confirming the compliance of qualified certification services provided by Unizeto Technologies SA with global WebTrust standards was published on the website https://cert.webtrust.org/ViewSeal?id=998. These standards are defined by the AICPA/CICA organization. CERTUM Public Certification Center, as the only Polish certification authority, has joined a very exclusive group of globally trusted entities providing qualified services related to electronic signatures. The certificate of compliance with WebTrust standards, granted to CERTUM PCC qualified certification services, is confirmation for all users, technological partners, and business partners that the confidentiality of processed data, system reliability, and the authority’s business practices have been examined and positively evaluated by independent, authorized global auditors. Holders of qualified certificates issued by CERTUM PCC can place electronic signatures that are treated as equivalent to handwritten signatures under European Union law and recognized as reliable on the Internet worldwide. The audit, conducted from September 22 to December 22, 2009, by the auditing corporation Ernst&Young Business Advisory, covered the systems for: accepting, issuing, renewing, distributing, and revoking qualified certificates, as well as registering and managing subscriber keys. The following were also subject to inspection: the integrated lifecycle system for cryptographic cards and the security level of the provided qualified services, security policies, access to systems, methods for ensuring service continuity, and event monitoring. Obtaining the WebTrust seal for qualified services is another step by Unizeto Technologies towards the globalization of all offered certification services, including non-qualified ones, for which the company had already obtained the WebTrust seal in 2002.
