Golden Record

A Golden Record is the trusted consolidated identity record built from multiple upstream sources.

Definition

A Golden Record is the identity data construct created by correlating and reconciling identity attributes coming from multiple authoritative or contributing systems. Its purpose is to provide a single reliable version of identity truth for downstream governance, provisioning, reporting, and security controls.
