GBG achieves UK Government Trust Framework Certification

NOVEMBER 01 2022 – LONDON – GBG, the global expert in digital identity, today announces it has achieved certification against the UK Government’s Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF), authorised by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS).

Following a rigorous independent assessment of its technology, security and processes, GBG has been recognised for its industry leading excellence and is now a certified Digital Identity Service Provider (IDSP) to provide digital identity verification for Right to Work, Right to Rent and DBS checks via its GBG Identify product.

Jonathan Jensen, Regulatory Policy Advisor at GBG, said: “This certification is not only a testament to our industry leading technology and expertise at GBG, it also demonstrates our long-term commitment to compliance and regulation.

“Policy surrounding digital identity is still very much in its infancy, but it is beginning to emerge around the globe as adoption of identity verification technology continues at pace. The DIATF represents a huge step forward in policy for digital identity in the UK but also sets an example for regulation around the globe that will improve compliance and build confidence in online Identity verification.”

The DIATF framework is a first step in establishing a digital identity ecosystem that is as trusted as using passports or bank statements in the UK, paving the way for the widespread adoption of digital identities. Modernising identity checking processes and negating the need to present physical documents significantly reduce time needed to process applications, as well as ensures compliance, security, and privacy. GBG’s solution can also easily be added into a company’s existing onboarding journey ensuring users have a streamlined onboarding journey on one platform.

Jensen continues, “Digital identity is critical in driving economic growth, improving customer satisfaction, and creating a more inclusive digital economy for everyone. At GBG, our solutions are already being used millions of times each day to keep individuals and businesses safe and prevent bad actors from causing loss and distress. Achieving UK Government certification for our technology is another step forward in our company’s mission to build trust in a digital world.”
