While many people know DirectTrust for their work with direct messaging, over the years they’ve been doing more and more work when it comes to building Trust Frameworks.  Creating a trust framework that is trusted and respected by multiple organizations is a hard process, but a powerful one when done right.  

This is what makes the news that DirectTrust is assuming the assets of SAFE Identity really interesting.  For those not familiar with SAFE Identity, they provide a trust framework for the Biopharmaceutical industry where high levels of identity assurance are particularly important.  Going forward, SAFE Identity’s trust framework will be managed by DirectTrust and those in the SAFE Identity Policy Management Authority (PMA) will become DirectTrust members.  

To learn more about the aggregation of these trust frameworks, I sat down with Scott Stuewe, President and CEO, DirectTrust.  Along with diving deeper into DirecTrust’s mission and sharing how a trust framework works, he also shares details of what SAFE Identity is and how it will become part of the DirectTrust family.  Stuewe shares what the combined entities will offer old and new members of DirectTrust and what types of organizations might be interested in this joint work.
