Hello everyone
...
It was great to welcome Neustar as our most recent Trust Mark holder for a component service conforming to Kantara's NIST 800-63-3 Class of Approval . You'll see a press announcement any day now regarding another service provider's component/partial service that has been approved under Kantara's Identity Assurance Trust Framework. We also understand that another contract has been signed between a global service provider and an assessor to undertake a conformity assessment against Kantara's NIST 800-63-3 Class of Approval.There are several more in assessment as I write, so 2021 is set to be a pivotal year as Kantara's Trust Framework goes mainstream. Why now you might ask? I've asked myself the same question in recent months. In discussions with Assurance Director Ruth, Assurance Review Board Chair Leif, the main Board and regulars on the Identity Assurance Work Group calls, we have put it down to the 'perfect storm' that the current climate has created.
For many organisations January heralds the commencement of a new financial year where plans and budgets begin to be put into action. Kantara is eternally grateful for the membership and sponsorship that results from the strategic decisions taken by organizations to invest in our community for the betterment of the wider digital identity and privacy ecosystem. Remember that each existing Individual or Organization level member in good standing that introduces a prospective Organization level member that subsequently pays its member dues before the introducing member's next renewal anniversary, gets 25% of the new member's membership level rebated off the introducing member's membership renewal to a maximum of 100% of the introducing member's membership level. At Kantara, everyone benefits!
