Last year's #DEIA survey revealed that 62.5% of identity service providers were focussed on inclusion in Product Design or Solutions teams to achieve their anticipated ROI. Is this still the case? In these turbulent times, is there still the same appetite for #diversity. #equity, #inclusion and #accessibility in our industry?

"Standards are everywhere. We all seek assurance that the products we use, the medicines we consume – even the restaurants we visit – meet the appropriate standards and will not cause us harm. It is no different with identity." We're delighted to welcome our new Chief Technology Officer, Dr Carol Buttle to the #KantaraInitiative team. We've really strengthened our existing operations and look forward to Carol leading not just on the US assurance program but also expanding our work into new territories and sectors.
