biztosság

Biztosság is a Hungarian abstract noun meaning certainty, assurance, or reliability. It refers to the quality or state of being sure about something and, in many contexts, to the guarantee or promise offered by a person, organization, or process. The term is formed from the adjective biztos (certain, secure) with the nominal suffix -sság, producing a word that emphasizes the aspect of assuredness rather than mere belief.

In use, biztosság appears in formal and semi‑formal language across business, law, and public policy to express guarantee, compliance, or confidence in a result. It is often contrasted with bizalom (trust), which relates to the relationship and belief about a person or institution, and with biztonság (safety or security), which denotes a secure state rather than a commitment to outcomes.

Because it carries a nuance of stated guarantee or promise, biztosság is typically used when an actor intends to reassure others about performance, data integrity, or risk management. The term is less common in everyday speech, where phrases like garancia (guarantee) or bizonyosság (certainty) may be used depending on context.
