What does the Public Trust in Identity Management Self-Assessment include?
The Public Trust in Identity Management Self-Assessment includes 247 auditable questions across six core domains, a scoring and gap analysis workbook in Excel, remediation roadmap templates, an executive summary report template in Word, and a full regulatory alignment matrix to GDPR, NIST SP 800-63-3, ISO/IEC 29115, and eIDAS.

What happens to your national identity programme if public trust erodes? Without a structured, auditable approach to identity management, you risk failed compliance audits, regulatory penalties, service adoption failures, and reputational damage that undermines citizen engagement. The Public Trust in Identity Management Self-Assessment gives you the exact framework to evaluate, strengthen, and demonstrate the integrity of your identity systems, before a breach or audit failure forces action. This 360-degree evaluation toolkit is aligned with ISO/IEC 29115, NIST SP 800-63-3, GDPR, and eIDAS standards, enabling you to rapidly identify governance gaps, assess authentication controls, and validate privacy safeguards across your entire identity ecosystem.

How This Helps You
Every unanswered question in your identity governance stack is a potential point of failure. With rising regulatory scrutiny and public sensitivity around biometrics, data sharing, and surveillance, identity programmes that lack demonstrable accountability face real consequences: contract suspensions, blocked cross-border data flows, withdrawal of public funding, and loss of citizen buy-in. This self-assessment enables you to proactively audit your controls, prove compliance, and build defensible justification for your design choices. By identifying weak authentication workflows, inconsistent consent mechanisms, or unauthorised third-party integrations early, you reduce the risk of data breaches by up to 70% and accelerate audit sign-off by providing structured evidence. You gain more than compliance, you gain confidence that your system operates with transparency, fairness, and public accountability baked in.
