Advancing the Trust Framework: The Essential Roles of Key Ecosystem Players

In football, or any other team sport, the success of the team depends on each player performing a specific role. The same principle applies to the fight against phone-based fraud, which requires a coordinated effort across the entire telecom landscape. This is the Trust Framework — a new, collaborative approach introduced by Somos to build end-to-end call authentication and restore trust in phone-based communications. 

Just like a football team, every player in the ecosystem has a crucial role to play.

• Telecom providers must adopt STIR/SHAKEN standards, implement transparent vetting processes and upgrade infrastructure to handle evolving technologies.
• Regulators need to create clear, enforceable rules that protect privacy while fostering global cooperation and interoperability.
• Enterprises, and the people who represent them, must stay informed about call authentication basics, support secure telecom practices and champion transparency and consumer consent. 

The Trust Framework is more than a solid game-plan — it’s a shared responsibility, calling on telecom companies, regulators, enterprises and individuals to unite and create an industry-spanning network of trust, transparency and safety.
