Body of Knowledge Publication Status

IDPro® Body of Knowledge Publication Status

Crucial to IDPro’s mission and the future of the identity industry is a body of knowledge. It is meant to provide vendor- and technology-neutral guidance for practitioners of all tenures in all industries. The IDPro® Body of Knowledge (or BoK) is currently being built by IDPro members and volunteers.

The BoK is a “living document.” We refresh articles periodically throughout the year, adding new ones as they are created and approved. The most recent update brought in two new articles and one refreshed article on 29 November, 2024.
