TL;DR: eIDAS2 and business wallets shift corporate identity from fragmented credentials toward reusable, attribute-based evidence that can support selective disclosure, audited access decisions, and regulated-sector compliance across NIS2, ENS, and GDPR, according to Vintegris. The governance challenge is no longer just authentication strength, but how organisations prove roles, authorisations, and access rights without multiplying identity silos.
Editorial analysis by NHI Mgmt Group, based on content published by Vintegris: “Business Wallets el futuro de la Identidad Digital Corporativa y su Impacto”.
Key questions
Q: How should IAM teams govern business wallets for corporate identity?
A: IAM teams should treat business wallets as an evidence layer, not as a replacement for governance.
Q: Why do fragmented identity silos create compliance risk under eIDAS2?
A: Fragmented silos make it hard to prove a consistent relationship between identity, authorisation, and access history.
Q: What should organisations do first before adopting attribute attestations?
A: They should inventory which decisions actually depend on roles, powers, or permissions, then identify the systems that issue or consume that evidence.
Practitioner guidance
- Map attribute-based access decisions Identify which access and approval decisions can move from local credential checks to trusted attribute evidence, especially for roles, signing authority, and regulated access.
- Separate identity evidence from identity records Document where role, authorisation, and permission evidence lives today, then define which systems remain the source of record for each attribute.
- Align recertification with evidence validity Set recertification triggers around attribute freshness, issuer trust, and revocation status instead of treating wallet-based evidence as permanently valid.
Bottom line: eIDAS2 business wallets shift identity governance toward trusted attribute evidence instead of repeated credential validation.

Identity governance is moving from credential control to evidence control. eIDAS2 business wallets do not simply add another login method. They reframe the governance unit from the account to the attribute, which is a more defensible model when access depends on role, authority, or signing power. The practical implication is that IAM teams must think in terms of trusted evidence flows, not just authentication flows.
A question worth separating out:
Q: What is the difference between selective disclosure and standard IAM access control?
A: Selective disclosure limits what identity evidence is shared in a transaction, while standard IAM access control decides whether access should be granted. In practice, selective disclosure reduces the data exposed to the relying party, and access control still governs whether the asserted attribute is sufficient for the action requested.
