Bermuda's Digital Identity Future: What Businesses Need to Know

On July 21st, 2025, the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) published its second consultation paper outlining a proposed framework for Digital Identity Service Providers (DISP).

The paper covers how DISPs will be regulated crucially including cybersecurity requirements, compliance and governance practices, and even disciplinary measures for non-compliance.

 

The goal of this framework is to strengthen security support innovation, and ensure consumer protection in Bermuda’s digital ID ecosystem, but where does that leave businesses?

 

As digital and cybersecurity regulations continue to shift and take form, it may raise critical questions: Do you have the right policies, controls, and oversight in place? Do you have leadership able to steer your business through these unchartered waters, informing and guiding your cybersecurity strategy at the executive level?
