Digital identity is how people and organizations prove who they are online. It’s
changing quickly.

**The layers**

– **Workforce identity:** employees signing in with single sign-on, MFA, and passkeys
through systems like Microsoft Entra ID

– **Customer identity:** how customers create accounts and sign in to your services

– **Government and verifiable credentials:** digital IDs and wallets that let people
prove facts, such as age or qualifications, without sharing everything

**What’s changing**

– **Passkeys** are replacing passwords for many services

– **Digital wallets:** the European Union is rolling out European Digital Identity
Wallets under its eIDAS 2.0 framework, with member states required to offer them
by the end of 2026. Canada is developing its own trust frameworks and pilots at 
federal and provincial levels, and details differ by jurisdiction. Check current
status.

– **Verifiable credentials:** cryptographically signed claims that can be checked
quickly, without a central database lookup

– **Stronger identity verification** to combat fraud, including deepfake-resistant
checks

**Why it matters to businesses**

– **Fraud and account takeover** are driven by weak identity controls

– **Onboarding and compliance:** digital verification can speed up customer and 
employee onboarding

– **Privacy:** minimal-disclosure credentials reduce the personal data you need 
to collect and protect, which helps with Law 25

– **Customer experience:** fewer passwords and smoother sign-in

**What to do now**

1. **Strengthen workforce identity:** MFA everywhere, passkeys for admins, Conditional
Access

2. **Review customer sign-in:** offer MFA or passkeys, and monitor for fraud

3. **Collect less data,** and keep only what you need

4. **Watch standards** for digital credentials in your industry

5. **Plan identity verification** for high-risk transactions, such as payment changes
and new account requests

**The principle**

Identity is the foundation of security. Investing in it pays off across everything
else.
