Scope:

Note: CIO Strategy Council announced an organizational name change to the Digital Governance Council (DGC), effective January 30, 2023 and the creation of a new standards development division, Digital Governance Standards Institute (DGSI). This document provides a reference set of generic digital trust, identity, credentials and wallets techniques including implementation guidance. This document is designed to be used by organizations: a) within the context of a digital trust and identity management system based on the CAN/CIOSC 103 series of standards; b) for implementing digital trust and identity programs based on internationally recognized best practices; and c) for developing organization-specific digital trust and identity guidelines. This standard applies to all organizations, including public and private companies, government entities, and not-for-profit organizations. NOTE: This document is not intended for conformity assessment.

Project need:

As the digital trust and identity ecosystem continues to evolve at a rapid pace, there is a clear need for Standards and guard rails to assist users in developing and demonstrating trust in their programs. As these Standards continue to develop, there is a need to support this work and provide the users with assistance in developing, implementing, and deploying their digital trust and identity programs. This techniques and code of practice document aims to offer the user industry techniques and guidance to ensure the user is implementing a program that is aligned and interoperable with international best practices. This document not only intends to offer support for users looking to deploy the CAN/CIOSC 103 series of Standards, but any user looking to develop and deploy a digital trust and identity program at their organization.
