Secure Identity Alliance Launches Code of Conduct
November 2017 by Marc Jacob
The Secure Identity Alliance, the global identity and secure eServices advisory body, today announced the adoption of a Code of Conduct that all the Alliance’s members will voluntarily commit to.
Developed in consultation with individual members to support best practices and enforce industry standards, the new Code enshrines the commitment of Secure Identity Alliance’s members to transact, engage and operate in a manner that conforms to highest standards of ethics and excellence in the design and implementation of digital ID systems.
The newly instituted Code sets out the primary principles Secure Identity Alliance’s members must observe in relation to their business practices and commercial actions and has been adopted to facilitate and enhance business relations in the marketplace with all relevant stakeholders (private and government entities and agencies).
Designed to correspond to modern day requirements regarding ethical trade, confidentiality, conformity with local laws, anti-corruption, fair competition, sustainability and social responsibilities, the Code has been conceived around the core notion of respect – which includes the fundamental rights of workers, the need to safeguard the confidentiality of personal data, and a commitment to negotiate and perform contracts in good faith.
