ATB Ventures, the research and innovation arm of ATB Financial, has announced that Oliu, its leading digital identity verification platform, has achieved certification from the Digital ID and Authentication Council of Canada, making it the first organisation to get certified for DIACC Pan-Canadian Trust Framework.
The Oliu™ service has been subject to DIACC’s third-party conformity assessment for the PCTF Privacy Component, which included an independent audit conducted by DIACC Accredited Auditor KUMA and an independent committee review for quality assurance.
Azim Esmail, Head of Venture & Product at ATB Ventures commented that being recognised as the first Canadian organisation to achieve DIACC certification is “exceptional validation for Oliu™, highlighting the strength and security of our platform”.
“The certification underscores our dedication to providing secure and reliable digital identity verification solutions that meet the highest standards of quality and integrity. It also reflects our commitment to enhancing trust and confidence in the Canadian digital economy.”
The Oliu™ service demonstrated conformity to the PCTF Privacy conformance criteria, meeting all the applicable requirements. Based on the successful results of the certification process, designed around ISO/IEC 17065, DIACC has issued a three-year cycle Trustmark subject to annual surveillance audits in the scope of the PCTF Privacy certification granted.
“DIACC’s certification program sets a high standard for digital identity solutions, emphasizing security, interoperability, and user privacy,” said Joni Brennan, President at DIACC. “For Oliu™, achieving the certification demonstrates its commitment to providing trustworthy and reliable digital identity verification services and advancing secure and interoperable digital trust and identity services in Canada.”
