Sirtfi

Following a period of consultation, and effective from 1 September 2025, SAFIRE has made several changes to its identity provider & service provider requirements, as well as its metadata registration practice statement.

Following a period of consultation and starting from 31 March 2021, we’ve made several changes to SAFIRE’s idp- & sp-requirements and to the minimum attributes required for participation.

The University of Cape Town recently became the first SAFIRE identity provider to complete a self-assessment and express its compliance with the REFEDS Security Incident Response Trust Framework for Federated Identity (Sirtfi). This makes SAFIRE the 16th federation worldwide to assert a Sirtfi-compliant IdP.
