Standardinsa

Standardinsa is an international standardization framework for interoperable information systems and digital services. Developed by the Global Standards Consortium and adopted by national and regional regulators, Standardinsa provides a modular set of specifications intended to enable seamless data exchange, trustworthy security, and accessible design across diverse platforms.

Its scope covers data encoding, messaging protocols, service interfaces, identity and authentication, privacy controls, and accessibility requirements. Standardinsa is organized around a four-layer architecture: core data models, service interfaces, security and trust, and accessibility and localization, with profiles such as Baseline, Core, and Extended that allow gradual implementation.

Conformance is verified through independent test suites and a certification program; products and services that pass tests may display a Standardinsa Verified mark. Governance is provided by the Standardinsa Council, a multistakeholder body including governments, industry groups, and academic institutions, supported by a Technical Board and a Secretariat.

Since its first release in 2014, Standardinsa has been adopted by several government procurement frameworks and by cloud providers seeking interoperability across regions; its use ranges from public administration to financial services, healthcare, and education. Critics note potential complexity, implementation costs, and fragmentation risk if multiple profiles diverge from the core framework; ongoing maintenance and broad stakeholder engagement are cited as essential.
