The certifications from datenschutz cert GmbH attest to the highest standards for the Nect platform and establish the legal foundation for automated customer onboarding, regulated identity verification, and future certification as an EUDI Wallet. The extension of existing eIDAS conformity enables Nect to serve highly regulated markets in a future-proof manner. The ISO certification represents a voluntary commitment.
The European Union has substantially revised the eIDAS Regulation and, with the ETSI TS 119 461 standard, has defined binding requirements for person identification across Europe for the first time. Although the requirements of the eIDAS revision will not take effect until mid-2027, Nect Ident has already received certification at the “extended” level, the highest level defined in the current ETSI TS 119 461 v2.1.1. This means that the provider’s identifications are a trust service under EU law and meet the same security level as, for example, government eID solutions. This conformity provides the regulatory basis for specific, legally compliant identification use cases and exceeds the certification status of many competitors.
