In a networked computing environment, a server is equipped to provide one or more services and to assure the integrity of the service components of the one or more services. Additionally, a client is equipped to determine whether to engage the server for one or more needed services, based at least in part on whether the integrity assurance provided by the server meets the integrity requirements for the needed services. In various embodiments, the integrity assurance is multi-level, including direct service providing components and one or more supporting components one or more layers removed from the direct service providing components.
