Recommendation 50

It would be irresponsible to roll out a digital ID built on the UK’s current digital infrastructure. The public sector holds citizens’ data on trust, and should therefore hold itself to a higher standard. The operational and security problems relating to the eVisa system, One Login’s temporary loss of certification against the government’s own digital identity framework, and the inadequate data hygiene examined in this report all make this clear. (Conclusion, Paragraph 140)
