Approved Bodies to conduct Client Protection Certifications

Cerise+SPTF authorizes certain organizations to conduct Client Protection Certifications*. These organizations must have robust systems in place to ensure, in an impartial and professional manner, a Client Protection Certification. The methodology is aligned with the Universal Standards. This ensures the quality and comparability of the results of certifications.

* Please note that Cerise+SPTF approves certification bodies, but does not not oversee or approve the individual certifications of financial service providers. This remains under the responsibility of the approved certification bodies.
