NASC and CISRS will switch to a new digital platform later this month, introducing a redesigned website, improved security, and a mobile app that will include a digital CISRS card from March.

The National Access & Scaffolding Confederation and the Construction Industry Scaffolders Record Scheme are set to move to a new digital infrastructure on Monday, 26 January 2026, marking a significant change in how members and cardholders access services.

Revealed in its latest newsletter, the new platform is designed to bring NASC and CISRS systems together into a single, integrated digital environment. It will link existing online tools, including the ePortal, and is intended to improve usability while strengthening cybersecurity.

Clive Dickin, Group CEO of NASC, said the move reflects the organisation’s aim to provide a more streamlined and secure experience for users.

He said the goal was to create “a better user experience with a single, joined-up digital ecosystem”, adding that the new system has been built in a purpose-designed environment offering a higher level of cyber security.

Cyber security requirements have become increasingly important for NASC members, particularly those tendering for government or public sector work, where standards such as Cyber Essentials Plus are often required. NASC said the new digital ecosystem will support members in meeting those expectations.

Alongside improved security, the platform will allow users to personalise news updates and messages, making information more relevant to their roles and interests.

A new NASC and CISRS mobile app is also due to launch in the Apple and Android app stores from 14 February. From March, the app will include a digital CISRS card.

The digital card will display current training records and qualifications and will update automatically as new achievements are added. NASC said this will reduce the risk of outdated information and make card checks quicker and more reliable for contractors and site managers.
