Microsoft Trusted Certificate List Accreditation
Post.Trust's accreditation to the International Standard in Information Security Management ISO 27001 was used in part by Microsoft Corporation in April 2000 to accredit the Post.Trust root certificate against the AICPA/CICA WebTrust SM/TM Program for Certification Authorities. The success of this accreditation resulted in the inclusion of the root certificate in the Microsoft ‘Trusted Root Certificate Authorities’ List (CTL). This root certificate is automatically loaded onto a client PC by uploading trusted root certificates from Microsoft Corporation.
