A legitimate identity may later be compromised, or account access can change hands. And while many organizations still handle document verification, biometric checks, compliance screening, and authentication through separate systems, these gaps make it harder to detect fraud and understand why a particular identity was trusted.Get the latest headlines, breaking news and columns.By signing up you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.A welcome email is on its way.

Please try againHow Regula IDV Platform enables ongoing identity verificationRegula IDV Platform brings all the checks together into a unified, controlled environment for identity lifecycle management: it combines border-grade document authentication, face matching, liveness detection, compliance screening, and other risk signals within workflows that businesses can configure to fit their security policies.For example, a returning customer performing a routine action may require little or no additional verification. An account recovery request or an unusual transaction, however, will need a more scrutinized review. Businesses can set these rules themselves, applying stronger checks where the risk warrants them, rather than subjecting every customer to the same process.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Importantly, Regula IDV Platform keeps a record of verification sessions, including their results, the documents and biometric data involved, and relevant device and location information. With built-in case management and verification history, organizations can verify identities at onboarding, re-verify them when needed, and revisit past decisions at any time. Flagged or inconclusive checks can be routed to specialists for manual review, where they can examine the evidence, record their decisions, and track outcomes. This keeps identity checks connected and traceable throughout the customer lifecycle, supporting compliance reviews and audits.Businesses that need tighter control over sensitive data can deploy the platform on-premises or in a hybrid environment, keeping verification infrastructure and information handling aligned with their security policies, regulations, and data residency requirements.“A successful identity check at onboarding is only the starting point. Months later, an account recovery request may require an organization to verify that it is still dealing with the same person. Businesses need to be able to decide when another check is necessary and explain the decisions they make. That is what we designed Regula IDV Platform to support,” says Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula.This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.Regula IDV Platform awards The 2026 Merit Technology Award adds to the company’s history of recognition in identity trust.
