Credential Service Provider Go-Live
The benefits of using external CSPs are numerous. So are the challenges.
Today, more and more agencies are utilizing digital services to reduce barriers and increase access to critical programs. The 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act, recent executive orders, and evolving customer expectations all point to digital identity as the key to modern service delivery. Leveraging an external credential service provider (CSP) can deliver multiple benefits, from improving customer experiences to meeting federal mandates. And because they specialize in identity proofing and credential management, CSPs also allow agencies to focus on their core mission. Several agencies have even adopted a multi-CSP approach, leveraging two or more external CSPs to reduce the risk of single-point failure and expand demographic coverage.
But while the benefits of leveraging CSPs are clear, successful implementation and go-live requires overcoming several key challenges, including:
+ Integrating with existing processes and Zero Trust architecture
+ Delineating roles, responsibilities, and risk between agency and CSP
+ Testing and learning from CSP integrations before roll-out
+ Managing organizational change and communications
+ Reporting accurately on app integration, performance, and risk
+ Delineating roles, responsibilities, and risk between agency and CSP
