Developed by AVID Certification Services, a UK-based provider of Digital Identity Certification, the initiative was created based on the Financial Action Task Force’s (FATG) globally recognised standard ISO/IEC 29115 and focused on augmenting security and standardisation of digital identity verification worldwide. Additionally, the decision to introduce the new certification can be attributed to the current environment, where businesses are increasingly digitising their operations and onboarding users online, leading to an expansion in capabilities for cybercriminals to conduct illicit activities.
Standardised global framework, with the certification remaining compliant with ISO/IEC 29115 and ensuring consistent and reliable identity verification via advanced digital identity management, including authentication, identity proofing, and security measures;
Increased security and trust through strict security protocols to safeguard personal data, which in turn aims to build trust by inhibiting theft and fraud;
Interoperability and global recognition which facilitate international interaction between systems, fostering worldwide recognition and supporting cross-border trust and cooperation;
Adaptable application across sectors, with the certification meeting the needs of several industries, including finance, healthcare, and government, for reliable identity verification no matter the location.
