IDEMIA, a provider of biometrics and secure identity solutions, has announced that its Identity and Verification (ID&V) service has been approved by Kantara Initiative as compliant with NIST SP 800-63 rev. 3 Component Service at Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2).

This designation is given to organizations whose solutions adhere to best practices for high assurance identity proofing as outlined by the NIST standard.

IDEMIA says its identity solutions offer organizations the means to securely verify an individual’s identity, combat losses due to identity fraud and fulfill Know Your Customer (KYC) requirements. Customers can complete transactions online, reducing the need for in-person visits or manual processing of identity documents, without sacrificing identity security.

“Most government agencies and commercial entities’ core competencies lie outside of identity and information security. NIST’s guidelines, as assessed by Kantara Initiative, provide a risk-based framework to empower organizations seeking the highest assurance levels for their technologies and solutions,” said Doug Harvey, Chief Technology Officer, IDEMIA I&S North America.

“Our incredible team of experts has built and deployed identity proofing and authentication solutions that are not only best-in-class for our customers, but easy to use and secure for their end-users, too.”

“Trust in the development and deployment of identity solutions can only be achieved if organizations and their customers believe the technology has been rigorously assessed and deemed compliant with the most robust standards,” said Kantara Initiative Executive Director, Kay Chopard.

“We welcome IDEMIA to the Kantara ‘Trust Status’ list of service providers and congratulate them for the hard work and team effort that goes into achieving IAL2 approval.”
