The Open Trusted Technology Provider™ Standard (O-TTPS) Certification Program
The O-TTPS Certification Program enables organizations that conform to the standard to be certified as Open Trusted Technology Providers™.
The O-TTPS, a standard of The Open Group, provides a set of guidelines, recommendations and requirements that help assure against maliciously tainted and counterfeit products throughout commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) information and communication technology (ICT) product lifecycles.
The standard includes best practices throughout all phases of a product’s life cycle: design, sourcing, build, fulfillment, distribution, sustainment, and disposal, thus enhancing the integrity of COTS ICT products and the security of their global supply chains.
This certification program is one of the first of its kind in providing certification for conforming to standards for product integrity coupled with supply chain security.

The O-TTPS Certification Program is open to all suppliers, providers, and integrators.
Benefits include:
- Identification and mitigation of security risks throughout the development, sourcing, and maintenance of COTS ICT products
- Product and market differentiation
