A trusted computing environment may be dynamically certified by providing a selectable boot option that controls running a loadable boot image in one of a test mode and a production mode. The test mode may automate running a processing standard validation test to obtain a processing standard validation test result. Responsive to running the processing standard validation test with a successful test result, a record indicating the successful test result and the loadable boot image is stored within the trusted computing environment, utilizing a certification process. Responsive to running the production mode, the trusted computing environment and the loadable boot image may be loaded.
