Specops Verified ID
High‑assurance ID checks using document scanning and biometric liveness.
"Used when onboarding or handling recovery to prevent impersonation and fraudulent account recovery."
Verify identities with document scans and biometric liveness
Organisations face impersonation and fraudulent account recovery during onboarding, self‑service resets and service‑desk calls. Static checks and knowledge‑based questions are frequently insufficient to confirm a claimant's identity.
Specops Verified ID performs high‑assurance identity verification by scanning government‑issued IDs and running biometric liveness checks. Extracted attributes are validated against Active Directory so teams can authorise onboarding, self‑service password resets and service‑desk requests with greater assurance.
Where Specops Verified ID is used
Use during new-employee onboarding to confirm an identity before account activation. Use to add a strong verification step to self‑service password resets so only verified users can reset credentials.
Use during service‑desk calls to verify callers and reduce the risk of impersonation and fraudulent recovery attempts.
