What is PortalCERT?
Web businesses contain business elements and criteria that
are significantly different from the business performance
models and success metrics that have been developed for
conventional brick-and-mortar businesses. There is a lack
of business performance assessment models that are based
upon credible experience. The PortalCERT certification,
and its seal, will encourage partnerships among web businesses,
and facilitate bringing new products and services to a variety
of markets.
What is PortalCERT’s
Mission Statement?
At PortalCERT our mission is to create shareholder value
by creating and popularizing a business performance certification,
and a performance mark, designed specifically for web businesses.
This mark of performance will signify levels achievement
on the part of web businesses to streamline their business
processes against criteria aimed to increase their credibility
and profitability. Having our mark of performance certification
will enhance a web business’s rating as a performance
supplier to its customers.

How does PortalCERT
work?
Whether you have a start-up or an existing e-Business,
you can benefit by implementing processes and improving
operational performance using the PortalCert criteria.
You let PortalCert staff know via email that you are interested
in obtaining PortalCert. Someone at PortalCert will contact
you, have you sign a contract, and send you an informational
package. This will include criteria, supporting information
and a contact number for any help that you may need. Once
you have achieved the benefits of using PortalCert
criteria, one of our auditors will review your compliance
and effectiveness against the PortalCert criteria and
determine your eligibility to receive PortalCert recognition.
If there are some gaps, we will advise you of necessary
corrective actions.
What does PortalCERT

PortalCERT brings to the web business marketplace the
most extensive and comprehensive web business performance
assessment model.
PortalCERT offers four levels of certification. These
four levels of certification will be targeted at start-ups
and small businesses with third-party remote verification,
medium- to large-sized businesses with third-party remote
verification, all businesses with third-party on-site
verification, and finally a certification level for all
businesses focusing on best practice assessments. A semi-annual
renewal of certificates will be offered.
PortalCERT’s partners offer consultation services
to web businesses that seek to identify areas of improvement
within their organizations and for implementing best business
practices.
