In many businesses, users need to be able to identify themselves securely in their professional role without exposing more personal data than necessary. With IDombud, the organization can issue a modern service ID where the focus is on trust, data minimization and control over what information is actually shared.

Challenge

When identity at work is based on private identities or centrally stored personal data, several problems arise:

more personal data than necessary risks being used in each login
it becomes unclear whether the person is acting as a private person or in their professional role
sensitive identity data is easily collected in central silos
it becomes more difficult for the organization to combine strong security with modern privacy requirements

This is particularly important in the public sector and other businesses where users need to act by virtue of their assignment, for example as a caseworker, administrator, healthcare professional or consultant.

Solution

With IDombud from Fortified ID, the organization can issue its own service ID that is linked to role or function instead of relying on the identity of the private individual at every step.

The solution is based on privacy first principles where the user has control over their identity and only necessary information is shared.
Customer data stays with the customer instead of being collected in a central data silo at an external eID operator.
The identity can be carried in the user's wallet and used on mobile, tablet, computer or via passkey depending on the scenario.
The organization can combine different trust levels in the same platform and adapt authentication according to risk, regulatory requirements and business needs.
The service ID can be used for employees, partners, consultants and other already known people who need secure access in the right role and the right context.

The result is an identity solution that strengthens both integrity and security: less unnecessary data sharing, clearer connection to the mission and better control over how digital identity is used in the organization.
