Creating Transparency and Accountability with Proven Governance Solutions

As we have seen during the pandemic and the rise of artificial intelligence engines, current public networks do not provide the level of assurance needed for the kinds of services we need in digital life. In the past decade, significant advances have been made in technology, but technology alone will not create trusted communications. It takes collective transparent and accountable requirements to create interoperable trust for a new digital economy. Below are services in technology governance, certification and accreditation schemes and audit advocacy and compliance that create that greater transparency and accountability.
