Description

DSIT Digital Identity programme has developed a UK Digital Identity and
Attributes Trust Framework (UKDIATF) which contains rules and principles
relevant to the provision of digital identity. Organisations that wish to operate
under the Trust Framework and therefore want to follow these rules and principles
can get certified by one of the conformity assessment bodies that have been
accredited by UKAS. In order to ensure that conformity assessment bodies follow
certification processes and there is equity amongst all certified providers,
assessment and assurance of the quality of DIATF Certification assessments, audits, tests and the resulting certification is needed.

Key part of the delivery of the trust framework and the certification scheme is assuring that certifications undertaken by the certification bodies selected by DSIT and UKAS are aligned with the rules set out in the UKDIATF certification scheme, and that certification undertaken is in line with the ISO 17065 standard and that conformity assessment bodies keep to accreditation standards.
The Supplier will deliver: an ad hoc assurance of quality, methods etc of audits carried out by the certification bodies, including a high-level report summarising the findings and any relevant information DSIT should be aware of.
