About Us

Global membership community innovating on the trustworthy use of identity and personal data worldwide

Whether you are an industry innovator, an identity product lead who needs to demonstrate that your products will support trustworthy ID management or a buyer looking for assurance as to the robustness of a particular identity solution, this is the community for you.

Members of Kantara Initiative come from organizations across all sectors and geographies. Our Work Groups provide a great forum for collaboration and debate, providing insight and informing identity policy and standards development.

We also run the world’s leading Identity Assurance programs. In the US we uniquely audit organizations and their products for conformance against the National Institute of Standards & Technology (NIST) 800-63 standards for privacy and security around Identity. In the UK, we certify Identity service providers against the government’s Digital Identity & Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF).
