Developed by the [Digital Identity Risk Universe Discussion Group](https://kantara.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DDIRU/overview) (DIRU DG), this pair of resources provides a technology-agnostic framework designed to help organizations identify, organize, and manage the diverse risks associated with digital credentials. About the Publications: - The Digital Identity Risk Universe – 2026 (DIRU): A comprehensive spreadsheet mapping out risks across the credential lifecycle, from creation and enrollment to holder management and verification. Notably, it introduces a specialized taxonomy to address emerging AI Agent/Agentic Identity Risks. - The Accompanying Report: Explains the motivation, methodology, and overarching insights behind the risk universe framework, serving as a practical guide for risk management teams to build out their own internal Risk Registers. Both files have been successfully published under Kantara Initiative Operating Procedures (IPR: Non-Assertion Covenant) and are available to the public. Accessing the Documents: You can download both files here: [Kantara Initiative Reports and Recommendations](https://kantarainitiative.org/reports-recommendations/) We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Editor John Fiske, as well as the numerous group contributors whose collaborative efforts made this critical reference framework possible.

Please share with your networks, and thank you most sincerely for your support of Kantara Initiative! Best, -Kantara Staff
