The NIST SP 800-63 Digital Identity Guidelines define requirements for identity proofing, authentication, and federation practices. While NIST itself does not issue certifications, organizations can achieve compliance by aligning with these standards, demonstrating a commitment to secure and trustworthy identity management.
Our third-party assessments provide a NIST SP 800-63 Compliance Report, verifying that your organization’s digital identity practices meet these industry standards. This report offers assurance to clients and partners that you have established robust, trusted identity verification processes.
NIST SP 800-63 is a comprehensive set of guidelines covering three core areas of digital identity:
- Identity Proofing (IAL): Validating an individual’s identity with defined levels of assurance.
- Authentication (AAL): Implementing secure access methods.
- Federation (FAL): Ensuring trusted identity sharing across systems.
