Identity Service Provider Credas has become the inaugural provider in the UK to secure the highest level of confidence under the UK Government’s Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework.
The distinguished accomplishment follows a comprehensive evaluation of Credas’ newly unveiled platform against the exacting standards outlined by the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework.
Independent assessment of their new platform has resulted in Credas being certified to achieve a “very High” level of confidence in the domain of verifying individuals’ identities.
The Trust Framework, overseen by the Department of Science, Innovation, and Technology, is poised to gain the force of law when the UK’s Data Protection and Digital Information (No.2) bill receives royal assent.
Within the government’s guidance, a hierarchical structure of four distinct confidence levels is outlined, with the “very High” level signifying the pinnacle of attainable assurance.
Credas’ advanced technology stands poised to facilitate Right-to-Work checks and Enhanced DBS checks even in remote scenarios.
Speaking on their achievement, Tim Barnett, CEO at Credas, said:
“We have invested heavily in our new platform, delivering new features as well as enhancing our identity verification offering.
We now stand as the epitome of certainty and security in identity verification as the first identity service provider to be certified to achieve the highest level of confidence attainable. As the horizon reveals the prospect of reusable digital IDs, Credas remains steadfast in our commitment to ushering in an era of safe, seamless, and secure remote identity verification for both consumers and businesses alike.”
