About TSCP
Established in 2002, TSCP (Transglobal Secure Collaboration Program) exists to solve a challenge that continues to define high-assurance ecosystems today: enabling secure, auditable collaboration across organizational and national boundaries—without forcing participants onto a single platform, vendor, or infrastructure.
TSCP brings together industry and government stakeholders to build federated trust through governance, policy alignment, and PKI interoperability—allowing independent organizations to rely on one another with predictable, defensible assurance.
Organizational Evolution
TSCP was originally established in 2002 as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit technical organization focused on developing secure collaboration frameworks. As TSCP’s scope evolved to include operational trust services, policy management, and infrastructure enablement, TSCP transitioned to TSCP LLC to support these core service offerings under a scalable, accountable operating model—while maintaining continuity of mission, governance principles, and stakeholder engagement.
TSCP was formed in 2002 by a coalition of leading aerospace and defense organizations who recognized that multinational programs and complex supply chains required a shared trust foundation to reduce risk and operational friction.
Early industry participants included:
- BAE Systems
- The Boeing Company
- EADS (now Airbus)
- Lockheed Martin
- Raytheon
- Northrop Grumman
From the beginning, TSCP was designed as a government–industry collaboration. Government stakeholders participated early, including the U.K. Ministry of Defence, with additional participation over time from the Netherlands Ministry of Defence and multiple U.S. federal agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service (USSS), Department of Transportation (DOT), and FEMA.
TSCP Today: The Three TSCP Bridges
TSCP Federal Bridge
A policy-driven trust bridge aligned to federal interoperability needs.
Enables consistent assurance outcomes, policy alignment, and interoperable trust paths across high-assurance federal ecosystems.
TSCP IATF Bridge (ICAO-aligned)
A trust bridge aligned to international aviation assurance models.
Enables harmonized trust and interoperability across States, regulators, and industry partners—supporting cross-border aviation operations.
TSCP AI Bridge
A trust bridge designed for AI-enabled environments where provenance, accountability, and oversight are required.
Enables governance-driven assurance for AI systems and agents, including identity, lifecycle accountability, and audit-ready traceability.
Proven in Practice
TSCP focuses on implemented trust, not theory.
U.S. Federal Agency Deployment
FAA NPE-IDMS: TSCP helped design, build, and implement the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) NPE-IDMS ecosystem end-to-end demonstrating how governance, PKI operations, and interoperable trust can be delivered as an integrated, high-assurance capability.
Various Commercial and International Deployments
TSCP helped design, build, and implement end-to-end PKI ecosystems for both a global pharmaceutical company and a U.K.-based enterprise—demonstrating how governance, certificate lifecycle operations, and interoperable trust can be delivered as an integrated, high-assurance capability across commercial and international environments.
ICAO Trust Framework
Global Aviation Trust: TSCP participated in the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Trust Framework Panel (TFP), including serving as a Rapporteur, contributing to the development of ICAO Doc.10169 Aviation Common Certificate Policy (ACCP) and ICAO Doc 10420 Manual on Aviation Information Security (MAIS).
TSCP Services (High-Level)
- Trust framework and Bridge operations
- Governance and policy management (PMA operating models)
- PKI and CA enablement, including CA-in-a-Box
- Interoperability validation and pre-production readiness
- Audit and assurance readiness support
Why TSCP Matters
In cross-organization ecosystems, trust cannot be improvised program-by-program. TSCP provides a structured, repeatable approach that helps organizations:
- Reduce interoperability and deployment risk
- Accelerate onboarding into trusted ecosystems
- Improve audit readiness and decision traceability
- Maintain organizational independence while achieving shared assurance
