TeleTrusT, officially the IT Security Association (German: Bundesverband IT-Sicherheit), is a German association for IT security, based in Berlin. Founded in 1989, it is a German and international competence network for IT security, with the purpose of increasing trust in information technology and communication. Members come from related industries and research as well as from administration and consultancy. The association works as a partner of national and international organisations in the field. TeleTrusT is the largest competence network for IT security in Germany and Europe, organising meetings and conferences, and advising in actual IT security politics.

The association assigns two signs of confidence, IT Security made in Germany (ITSMIG)[1] and IT Security made in EU (ITSMIE).[2]
