Project Need

While identity and risk can be largely mitigated by default in the physical world through closed and fragmented systems, established standards, and regulatory safeguards, the same cannot be said in an online world. In the absence of a national standard, public and private sector organizations are continuing to rely on organization-specific, vendor-driven and ad-hoc document-based identity management processes, impacting integrity, security, privacy, trust, and service delivery

 

The reaffirmation of the National Standard was supported by thought leaders including policymakers, regulators, industry leaders, academics, and civil society representatives from across Canada.
