The Wallet-ready?! Initiative
recommends appointing a
Wallet Officer!

What is a Wallet Officer?

  1. An organisation should designate a wallet officer[1] provided it is obliged[2] to accept European Digital Identity Wallets[3] or wishes to leverage the opportunities associated with their introduction, and should publish the contact details.[4]
  2. The wallet officer should be designated at an early stage based on professional qualities and, in particular, expert knowledge[5] and practical experience. The wallet officer should directly report to the highest management level of the organisation.[6]
  3. The wallet officer shall have at least the following tasks:
    1. to coordinate the design, implementation and facilitation of the reuse of use cases for European Digital Identity Wallets,
    2. to inform and advise the management[7] affiliated organisations and employees involved in processing operations regarding their obligations as well as the opportunities and risks associated with the use cases,
    3. to monitor compliance with the applicable legal framework and with the policies of the organisation including the assignment of responsibilities, awareness-raising and training of staff involved in processing operations, and the related audits[8] aiming at continuous improvement.
  4. The management of the organisation should support the wallet officer in performing its task by providing resources necessary to carry out those tasks.[9]

... and why is she important?

Appointing a designated Wallet Officer unequivocally clarifies responsibility for this strategically important topic within the respective organisation, thereby establishing the foundation for the successful introduction of the European Digital Identity Wallet.
