Given the audience of 8-10 people, we polled the reasons for attending a topic on Trust Assurance and discussed a few gnarly challenges in the space:

  1. An owner of a background check company conveyed challenges with complying with a myriad of governance authority frameworks audited by a myriad of qualified/unqualified auditors looking at a myriad of evidence to render a judgement

  2. The addition of privacy controls (notice and consent) to augment existing marketplace controls due to the specific need in SSI networks: https://kantarainitiative.org/confluence/display/WA/Privacy+as+Expected%3A+UI+Signalling+a+Consent+Gateway+For+Human+Consent

  3. A discussion of the China Civil Code: https://www.dlapiper.com/en/uk/insights/publications/2020/06/new-chinese-civil-code-introduces-greater-protection-of-privacy-rights-and-personal-information/

  4. A need for a civilian clearance credential.

It was a lively conversation for those who attended.
