IOA Platinum Badge

Federated — Cross-Organization Mode

Restricted Edition

The Platinum Badge represents the highest assurance tier in the IOA framework—Federated Governance. Entry is by invitation and verification only, typically for regulated industries and cross-jurisdictional networks.

Overview

Here, governance extends beyond a single organization: multiple entities (subsidiaries, partners, regulators) participate in a shared governance fabric, exchanging signed evidence in real time.
