Trustworthy Information Systems Project

Introduction
With the support of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), the sponsorship of the Information Policy Council (IPC) and in collaboration with select state agency partners and the Data Issues Group for Information Technology (DIG-IT), the State Archives Department of the Minnesota Historical Society developed and tested a set of criteria to establish the trustworthiness of information systems.

Trustworthiness means that an information system, whether computer- or paper-based, is accountable and can produce reliable and authentic information and records. Government records and record keeping systems must be accountable to citizens and elected officials.

The Trustworthy Information Systems (TIS) Project produced this Handbook, which details the TIS criteria set and a methodology to evaluate government information systems for trustworthiness. Find out how you can have trustworthy systems and reliable, authentic information, in this section.
