Trustworthy Information Systems Project

Introduction

With the support of the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) and in collaboration with select Minnesota government agency partners, the Minnesota State Archives 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.

Handbook

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.
