The objective of the assessment is to evaluate how the MISMO standard for a specified business domain has been applied within a specific software product or module. The vendor will apply for certification.
Program Design Overview
A Level 3 program is under consideration that could include a technical, software-based component as well as a “platinum standard” option for companies that have achieved a high level of compliance with MISMO v 3.x for multiple products or modules.
The two level program was supported by vendors as having the differentiating options they desired. The Advisory Committee advised caution in determining demand for the multiple levels. The team proposes identifying pilot participants for both levels to confirm demand for Level 2.

Program Design Concepts

• Applicants will apply for certification of a software module, component, or tool to a specific business domain. – Subset of domains will be available for the pilot most likely including
appraisal, application, closing, and loan delivery. • Certification always includes a review of the company’s MISMO-related
practices. The remaining portion of the certification reviews software or tool usage of MISMO against appropriate portions of the Reference Model within the identified domain.
• In general both Level 1 and Level 2 require:– Certification of company policies and practices as related to MISMO.– Certification of appropriate use of the MISMO schema and logical
data dictionary for specified business domains.– Certification of software or tool and proof of capability to store and/or
create MISMO oriented data transmissions, interfaces, or reports. • Level 2 also requires certification of MISMO-related education policies
and practices

Use of MISMO standards reduces processing costs, increases transparency, and boosts investor confidence in mortgages as an asset class. Participation in a MISMO software designation program will facilitate market and regulatory differentiation and enhance the value of the standard.
