Our relationship with change is complex. We both embrace and resist it, knowing deep down its inevitability. To pursue #systemschange means one must be prepared to change themselves, business included, - becoming agile to shifting landscapes that are trying to find the best path forward. That's why the latest draft of the B Corp Certification standards are so exciting, as the evolution of these standards is baked into B Lab’s DNA; they have revised the standards six times in the 17 years since B Corp Certification began. Perhaps the most important element of these efforts is the the role everyone can play in how the standards are shaped. The latest draft highlights the integration of previous input, and provides an opportunity to, again, offer feedback. The new standards will provide clarity for companies, galvanizing the most impactful business actions and focusing on what really matters, meaningfully demonstrating the leadership role that #BCorps and the B Corp movement play in the world. For us, the inclusion of Purpose & Stakeholder Governance is a pivotal foundational pillar for certified businesses, as having a clearly defined purpose can actively contribute to fostering an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economic system for both people and planet.

Is your business eying B Corp certification? 👀 A draft on the new certifications standards is out and B Lab, the certifying body for B Corps, seeks your input: ⚡ Are the standards clear and ambitious, yet attainable? ⚡ Are the standards tailored to different business contexts, including size, sector, profit, and geography of operation? ⚡ And more! Clay Brown, Head of Standards, Certification and Product Delivery, says it best: "Evolving the standards is not just about redefining business norms; it's about scripting a new narrative for the future of our planet and society."

Addressing technology in the auditing standards will be an important development and it will be interesting to see how the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) position develops, starting with the Board meeting next week. #audit #auditquality

What is the role of qualified trust service providers #QTSPs under the #eIDAS2 regulation? We answered this question together at Digital Identity unConference Europe | DICE ⬇ Together with Joerg Lenz, Marketing director at Namirial and Steffen Schwalm principal consultant at msg we hosted a workshop to discuss how QTSPs can approach #eIDAS2. Qualified trust service providers are regulated entities, which offer services such as the creation of qualified electronic signatures, seals, or timestamps, which are certified and classified as "qualified" according to eIDAS. The QTSP is always responsible to provide evidence of their processes and take over responsibility for their services. Existing trust services include timestamps, validation of signatures, preservation, seal, signature, delivery and QWACs. New trust services under eIDAS2:   ➡ QEAA - Qualified electronic attestation of attributes  ➡ Management of signature creation device ➡ Archiving  ➡ Qualified ledger The QTSP market:  💡There are around 250 QTSPs.  💡Spain, Italy and France do have the most QTSPs 💡Industry trend “Trust service as a Service”  💡Big organisations tend to buy smaller QTSPs  💡ETSI 3 19 401 incorporates NIS2 requirements 💡Many QTSPs want to see more harmonisation across member states 💡eIDAS offers possibility for differentiation  💡planning security is essential for investments - and this is not yet given for all aspects Changes & opportunities:  👉 Use a #QEAA (in or outside the #EUDI #Wallet) for personal identification 👉 Usage of #PID for cost savings 👉 Market expansion with higher frequency of #QES 👉 New market opportunity with QEAA issuance  👉 It’s unclear which QTSP will provide the QES to the nationals EUDI-Wallets Outlook - How to continue from here? ⏭ Waiting for more details from #ARF and the 42 implementing acts ⏭ setting up the new Large Scale Pilots  ⏭ #ENISA trust service conference & Trust service forum in September - focus on regulation ⏭ CEN / #ETSI Conference also in beginning of September, which is more focused on technology Challenges & open questions:  Among other challenges QTSPs are required to offer natural citizens with a qualified electronic signature for non-professional purposes. This might be inspired by Austria - where the taxpayer is paying for the service, which is provided by A-trust.

#DORA #ESA #ESMA #EBA #EIOPA #BaFin ESAs consult on technical standards for joint examination teams under DORA The European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA – the ESAs) launched a public consultation on the draft Regulatory Technical Standards (RTS) on the conduct of oversight activities in relation to the joint examination teams under the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA).  The primary goal of the draft RTS is to lay out the criteria for determining the composition of the joint examination teams – ensuring a balanced participation of staff members from the ESAs and from the relevant competent authorities – as well as the designation of the members, their tasks, and working arrangements.  These draft RTS aim at ensuring maximum efficiency and effectiveness regarding the functioning of the joint examination teams, given their central role in the daily oversight of critical ICT third-party service providers (CTPPs). The proposed technical standards take into account the high technical complexity of the oversight activities and the scarce availability of the expertise needed to perform them.  Next steps The ESAs invite stakeholders to submit their comments on the draft RTS by 18 May 2024.  The DORA and the related RTS will apply from 17 January 2025.

Digital Product Passport - Committee Work (Part 1) The development of the Digital Product Passport #DPP is going into the next phase. After the establishment of the European Joint Technical Committee (JTC) #CEN/ #CLC/JTC 24 “Digital Product Passport - Framework and System”, the establishment of the associated working groups (WG) has been completed and the professional, technical work has begun. The first working group WG 2 “Unique identifiers and data carriers” (Convenor: Mr. Johan Dahlgren - Sweden) started at the end of last week. Followed by WG 3 “Security” (Convenor: open). The meeting of WG 1 “Strategic Advisory Group” (Convenor: Martin Schreck - Norway) followed at the beginning of this week. The kick-off meetings were completed by the working group WG 4 “Interoperability framework” (Convenor: Otto Handle - Austria and me - Richard Merkel - Germany) One general thing can be said about all the working groups: Each of these working groups has dozens of members from dozens of different nations and economic sectors as well. This means that there is an incredible amount of expertise in each of these groups. Many thanks to the leaders and secretariats for the organization, as well as to all the members of the working groups. Of course, thanks also go to the parent Joint Technical Committee CEN/CLC/JTC 24 “Digital Product Passport - Framework and System” (Chair: Thomas Knothe - Germany) I look forward to working with all these colleagues in the future. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at any time.
