We delivered one of the first DIATF Identity Service Provider certifications for an SME.
Working with companies in the identity market, we've been engaged with the government's consultation and standard testing process since late-2019. We've worked across business operations, product and engineering teams to secure and maintain product certification.
The UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (UK DIATF) is a new government standard designed to set the ground rules for all providers and consumers of digital identity within the UK, and drive new market developments to deliver more secure, more useful and more controllable forms of digital identity across the economy.
The standard is currently beta, with more than 50 certified providers and key use cases like digital Right to Work, Right to Rent and DBS identity checks proven.
What happens next?
Following the change of government, the UK DIATF was reintroduced in the King's Speech with the forthcoming Digital Information and Smart Data Bill.
The UK DIATF will be formalised with the incoming Digital Verification Services (DVS) Register, putting all 50+ certified providers on a statutory footing along with those who certify in the future.
We work with all scale of organisation to design, build and certify products and services against all components of the standard, including:
- Identity proofing and verification
- Authentication credentials
- Identity attributes
- Identity assurance levels
If you're a business looking to find out what the UK DIATF means for your product, need support geting an existing product ready for certification or just getting the ball rolling with a gap analysis we can help.
