Who are we?
Trusted Digital Scotland (TDS) strengthens Scotland’s digital ecosystem by helping Scottish, European, and international SMEs in the cyber, tech, AI, and cloud-services sectors communicate their products and services with clarity and build trusted, strategic partnerships across borders. We also deliver engaging, gamified cyber awareness training to public and private sector organisations across all industries, supporting stronger cyber resilience and a more secure digital future.
