Why Digital ID is the headline topic
Digital ID promises faster access to services and stronger fraud controls, yet it raises real questions for privacy, transparency, and accountability. In this session we break down what a UK Digital ID framework could look like, how identity attributes are shared, what lawful bases may apply, and the governance you need before adoption. You will leave with clear steps to trial, procure, and monitor Digital ID solutions without creating new risks for data subjects.
What we covered:
Digital ID, practical models in the UK context, attribute sharing, interoperability, retention, vendor due diligence, and assurance.
DPIAs, when you need one, how to scope it well, ownership, documentation, and how to keep it live.
SAR enforcement, the Bristol City Council case, common pitfalls, service levels, triage, and defensible redaction.
