Identity and information management

Identity and Information Management

“The building blocks of the information age”

Technology and the digitisation of data allows us to access unlimited amounts of information whenever we want, but it also means that others are able to access information about us or our organisation and this exposes us to fraud or loss of privacy. How we store, manage and share data is the key to our success as a knowledge economy and is vital for the security and wellbeing of our citizens.

Managing these processes, whilst striking a balance between accessibility and privacy, is a key challenge for our industry. Whilst there is a need for secure and robust systems, the emphasis should be on ease of use. Our industry plays a fundamental role in developing and implementing these processes in line with the needs of the users and industry standards.
