Why credentials matter
Proof, not claims.
Regulated verticals — clinics, solicitors, schools, accountants — require provable competency in data protection, accessibility, and security. Credentials are how that competency becomes externally verifiable: an institution, a register, a public certificate URL. That’s the standard this page is held to.
