NEC New Zealand’s DISTF Accreditation
NEC New Zealand is proud to be the first organisation accredited under the Government’s Digital Identity Services Trust Framework (DISTF) — a significant milestone in the evolution of trusted digital services in Aotearoa.
The DISTF establishes a nationally recognised system for digital identity providers to demonstrate they meet stringent requirements across security, privacy, governance, interoperability and consumer protection. Accreditation confirms that NEC’s digital identity services operate to the highest standards of trust and accountability, providing confidence to government agencies, regulated industries and enterprises alike.
Achieving accreditation reflects not only technical excellence, but also our commitment to protecting individuals’ information, enabling transparency, and supporting a secure and inclusive digital economy.
