Ping Identity launches Consumer Data Right Integration Kit to support banking compliance with Australian regulation

Ping Identity has launched a Consumer

Data Right ( CDR ) Integration Kit enabling Australian banks and fintech company data holders to align with CDR regulatory requirements while also simplifying data recipient functionality .
Under CDR rules , financial institutions must provide customers with greater access and control of their data . The aim is to make it easier for consumers to switch between products and services , and to encourage more innovation and competition among service providers .
“ CDR is both a challenge and an opportunity for most organizations ,” said Mark Perry , APAC CTO , Ping Identity . “ As well as allowing the required data sharing to take place , the real value and competitive advantage will come from being able to use the underlying infrastructure in other areas of the business .
Opportunities could include improving the way consumer identity is managed and enabling new services in which secure data sharing is essential .
“ The Ping Identity CDR Integration Kit now fast tracks customers achieving CDR conformance as per ACCC specifications .
Indeed , CDR-conformant organizations must-have a consent model that not only captures and enforces consent in line with current requirements but also meets requirements for concurrent consent . Our kit now enables financial service organizations to have the security measures in place to make CDR possible .”
