In today’s digital world, verifying identity and resharing personal data is essential. From online shopping to job applications, trust in the person on the other end is critical. Done right, digital identity and data sharing unlocks benefits for everyone. There are three underpinning key principles: 

CDD: Delivering Inclusion, Trust and Control

At CDD Services, we provide the digital tools and due diligence services for organisations who want to work together as one. We deliver fast, reliable access to compliance services and trusted resources through our Spotlite and SafeGuarden platforms.

SafeGuarden allows individuals to safely share their data under their control, challenging the business model of ‘big tech’ to create mutually owned data utilities that focus on trust, inclusivity, and local needs. Spotlite helps organisations access that data only when required.​

In a thriving community, “people compliance” is more than just ticking boxes — it reflects a collective commitment to the greater good. At CDD, compliance isn’t about coercion; it’s rooted in shared values and goals.​

Our Vision: Building stronger communities through mutual data ownership.

Our Mission: To create a network of shared data services centred on personal data ownership, delivering social value, generating local economic activity, and empowering individuals with genuine ownership, control, and oversight of their personal data. We will create new innovative ways for communities to collaborate and work together as one.
