Edinburgh Napier University (ENU) selects miiCard as identity provider

Under the terms of the deal, ENU will use miiCard’s Level of Assurance 3 (LOA3) identity proofing service to safeguard sensitive healthcare and user data. With miiCard, ENU can prove a user’s identity to the level of an offline photo ID check before allowing policy-based access to the data in a controlled manner.
 

Napier University and miiCard will deploy their joint solution across three application areas:
1. Trusted Services for Holistic Care- This project focuses on developing information architecture for holistic care that integrates information from primary and secondary care, along with the assisted living environment. The cloud-based platform employs a strong governance policy that integrates digital identity at its core to enable users to own their data, define access to it, and leverage it for a wide range of clinical services;
2. ee-Health Portal – Use the Trusted Services work, this broader solution incorporates a portal for clinical and social care services to verify the identity of a patient or citizen, and then allow them to access and share their personal health records;
3. Child Protection - In this integration with key Scottish and UK government initiatives, safi.re applies a federated identity infrastructure and information sharing system to a child concern portal where professionals across multiple agencies can monitor, share and implement action plans on behalf of at-risk children.

miiCards online identity verification service allows consumers to track, monitor and take control of their identity online. Using the authority and security inherent in a users online financial accounts to validate identity, miiCard can now verify almost 300 million users across nine countries and five continents.
