Legal professionals today face a daunting task – safeguarding sensitive client information while navigating ever-changing regulatory landscapes as technology continues to rapidly evolve. To address this, FCT's Client ID Verification solution has been certified against the DIACC Pan-Canadian Trust Framework (PCTF) Verified Person Component at LOA2, ensuring solutions like ours meet the highest bar for security and trust.
The PCTF enhances digital trust relationships across the Canadian ecosystem based on legal, policy, and technical requirements which organizations agree to adopt. These include best practices, policies, technical specifications, guidance, regulations, and standards, prioritizing interoperability, privacy, security, and trustworthy use of digital identity and personal data.
“Earning certification against the Pan-Canadian Trust Framework (PCTF) demonstrates FCT’s dedication to protecting Canadians’ personal information while supporting the legal community’s shift toward digital transformation,” said Joni Brennan, President of DIACC. “This achievement shows how trusted digital identity solutions can simplify compliance, strengthen security, and make digital services safer for everyone.”
Purpose-built for Canadian legal professionals, FCT’s Client ID Verification is a quick, secure, digital solution designed to authenticate client IDs in minutes, whether in person or online. By aligning with the PCTF, we can ensure personal data is managed, stored and secured with the highest standards of protection, so legal professionals can always move forward with confidence.
This certification assures legal professionals that their client data is handled with the highest level of trust and security. FCT’s Client ID Verification meets KYC obligations, providing consistent quality that reduces risk, builds trust and helps legal professionals adopt digital workflows to meet regulatory requirements.
Seamless workflow integration is at the heart of our solution. By integrating into the tools legal professionals already use and minimizing manual data entry, ID verifications can be completed efficiently while maintaining accuracy and compliance. Clients retain control of their information on their own devices in their secure digital wallet, streamlining the verification process and reducing errors from duplicate data entry.
“FCT’s completion of the DIACC Pan-Canadian Trust Framework (PCTF) certification demonstrates our commitment to delivering best-in-class identity verification and fraud detection products that empower legal professionals to work with confidence. Legal professionals trust FCT to help them navigate an increasingly risky environment. FCT’s Client ID Verification meets the highest national standards and delivers on our core brand promise of supporting legal professionals with secure, digital workflows that drive efficiency and build trust at every step.” - Ryan Lambert, Vice President, Data and Strategy.
