October 16, 2025 – We are thrilled to announce the launch of DIACC’s Digital Trust Adoption Dashboard, a transformative, interactive tool developed by our Adoption Expert Committee (AEC), marking a pivotal moment in Canada’s digital trust journey.
This public resource maps the evolution of digital trust programs across Canada’s provinces and territories. By combining data from government sources with an interactive, map-based interface, the dashboard reveals the current state of digital verification and authentication services, trust program adoption, interoperability, and maturity across the country.
Why This Matters for Canada
Digital trust is no longer optional; it is foundational infrastructure for a competitive, secure, and inclusive Canadian economy. Citizens deserve seamless, secure access to services. Businesses require trusted digital transactions to thrive. Governments need efficient, interoperable systems to serve their constituents effectively.
This dashboard empowers decision-makers, innovators, and policymakers to move beyond assumptions and into action. It reveals where progress is accelerating, where gaps exist, and, most critically, where strategic alignment and collaboration can unlock exponential value for all Canadians. In an era where digital capability determines economic resilience, this transparency is not just valuable; it is essential.
Built on Collaboration, Designed for Impact
Developed through rigorous collaboration among the AEC, government partners across jurisdictions, and DIACC’s dedicated team, this dashboard demonstrates the power of public-private collaboration. Each data point reflects publicly observable information, and, to the greatest extent possible, we’ve validated the data for accuracy.
The AEC will maintain and evolve this living resource, with regular reviews and updates triggered by significant program or policy developments. Regular monitoring ensures the dashboard remains not just current but also actionable, a dynamic tool that grows in value as Canada’s digital trust public sector services ecosystem matures.
A Call to Engagement
This initiative embodies DIACC’s commitment to making Canada’s digital trust landscape auditable, transparent, and interconnected. We are advancing both economic innovation and public good by providing an accessible, evidence-based foundation for informed decision-making.
As this tool evolves, we invite the Canadian public, industry stakeholders, and government partners to engage with it, share insights, and provide feedback. Your perspectives will strengthen this resource and accelerate our collective progress. Please direct your feedback and inquiries to contact@diacc.ca.
We congratulate the AEC and the entire DIACC team for delivering this critical milestone in Canada’s digital trust transformation. This tool demonstrates leadership in action, which is what our nation needs as we build the trusted digital future Canadians deserve.
