What earns this badge
Apply through the DigiT Portal with a record of your professional background in digital trust - cybersecurity, information security, governance, risk and compliance, privacy, and cyber law - together with supporting evidence and two professional referees. The application is assessed in full against the Foundation criteria by the Alliance's assessment panel; no interview is required at this tier. The panel's recommendation is put to the DTA Council for approval. The badge is issued once the approved applicant has completed the half a day Digital Trust awareness session and signed the DTA Code of Ethics.
