      Digital Identity: Powering Trusted Connections

      Digital identity sits at the heart of trust in today’s world. Whether you're a citizen, a business, or both, the ability to prove who you are - safely and easily - is essential. Yet identity systems remain fragmented, clunky, and vulnerable to threats. KPMG helps organisations navigate this complexity and build trusted, people-first identity solutions. These solutions enable improved citizen and consumer experiences, confident secure organisations, and positive outcomes like reduced fraud, lower overheads, and most importantly - higher trust.

      Why Digital Identity Matters

      • Trust is foundational: Every digital interaction depends on knowing who you're dealing with – and being able to prove who you are.
      • The risks are real: Cyber threats, data breaches, and fraud are rising. Organisations are being held accountable not just for security, but for enabling digital trust.
      • The opportunity is huge: Smarter identity systems reduce friction, improve access, and unlock new value across sectors – from government services to financial institutions.
