Deciding to invest in becoming a TSP is a commitment that will most probably require Board approval in your organisation. The commitment is a long term investment with considerable costs incurred in year one with infrastructure, personnel, implementation, training and certification.

The TSP is at the top of Digi-Trust™ Network and is almost entirely autonomous apart from contractual commitments in partnership with Digi-Sign.
