I've been talking up the idea of finally settling on a PE certification for software engineers (in the U.S.). It seems like most of the risks and responsibilities being discussed in the context of government regulations could be addressed with mechanisms similar to what we rely on for aircraft, bridges, power plants, etc. -- all those areas have processional credentialing in addition to bureaucratic oversight.

I'd much rather include knowledgeable individuals with professional authority in the loop than rely entirely on box checking as with various ISO standards, HIPPA, FedRAMP etc.
