Veridas has been submitting its technologies to NIST evaluations since 2018 and continues to do so with the firm belief that constant scrutiny is the only way to maintain its position as a world leader in the biometric solutions market.
We are the only company in the world to be present at the NIST 1:1 and 1:N assessments in facial, and voice recognition (1:1)
The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is the world’s most trusted institution for biometric solutions. (NIST) is the most relevant institution in the standardization of biometric technologies. NIST conducts periodic evaluations of biometric engines submitted by different vendors to assess and provide unbiased rates of accuracy and performance in different environments.
NIST participation is entirely free and open to any vendor or institution.
SCOPE > SPAIN AND EUROPE
Veridas’ biometric digital identity verification solution has been the first to obtain the qualification of the Spanish National Cryptologic Center (CCN), by accrediting compliance with all the security requirements included in Annex F.11 of the ICT Security Guide CCN-STIC-140, with ENS High category.
This solution consists of a validation of the identity document presented, a biometric comparison between the photo included in the document and a selfie of the person carrying the process, an active proof of life and a video identification process. In addition, the solution also includes a monitoring tool that enables manual review of all processes by an agent.
For the issuance of a qualified electronic certificates, eIDAS Regulation establishes the need for qualified electronic service providers (QTSPs) to perform an identity verification of the applicant. For this purpose, eIDAS Regulation establishes several ways of performing this identity verification, and in Spain Law 6/2020 allowed it to be performed by non face-to-face means. For this purpose, QTSPs must comply with the provisions of Order ETD/465/2021 (later updated by Order ETD/743/2022). Precisely, one of the requirements is that QTSPs must use a video-identification tool that has been qualified or certified by the National Cryptologic Center, accrediting compliance with the technical requirements of Annex F.11 of its Security Guide CCN-STIC-140.
SCOPE > SPAIN
Dekra Testing & Certification has evaluated Veridas’ video-call and video-identification systems based on the requirements established in the authorizations issued by SEPBLAC (Executive Service of the Commission for the Prevention of Money Laundering and Monetary Offenses), concluding that its technologies allow the implementation of a procedure following the requirements of these circulars and that they can accredit a level of security in terms of reliability equivalent to physical presence.
SCOPE > INTERNATIONAL
Veridas is compliant with ISO 30107-3 from iBeta. This confirms that the liveness detection and facial biometric identity verification technology has successfully passed all the demanding requirements regarding attacks in verifying individuals’ identities.
ISO/IEC 30107 refers to the detection of presentation attacks or, in other words, the detection of attempts to impersonate or deceive the system. For this purpose, Veridas solutions have active and passive anti-spoofing mechanisms (depending on whether or not they require user action).
All Veridas systems include anti-spoofing fraud prevention techniques. In addition, Veridas’ facial recognition system (das-Face) is compliant with iBETA ISO/IEC 30107-3 Levels 1 & 2.
SCOPE > MEXICO
Veridas offers digital identity verification solutions with its certified products that allow financial institutions to comply with regulatory requirements.
The Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission is in charge of issuing the applicable regulation, among others, on the prevention of money laundering, which requires the verification of the identity of service applicants in different types of banking institutions.
SCOPE > SPAIN
Veridas has technological solutions that allow regulated entities to implement these customer identification procedures non-face-to-face using video-call and video identification.
Due diligence obligations aim to identify and get to know those individuals or legal entities that intend to establish business relationships with regulated entities.
Article 21.1.d) of the Regulation of Law 10/2010, of April 28, approved by Royal Decree 304/2014, of May 5, provides that obliged entities may establish business relations or execute transactions by telephone, electronic or telematic means with clients who are not physically present when the identity of the client is accredited by the use of secure client identification procedures in non-face-to-face transactions, provided that such methods have been previously authorized by SEPBLAC.
SCOPE > SPAIN
The eIDAS Regulation requires the verification of the identity of applicants for qualified electronic certificates, something that, thanks to Law 6/2020 of November 11, can be done in Spain in a non-presential manner. Order ETD/465/2021, of May 6, regulates how this non-presential identification must be carried out, which, among other measures, includes the requirement to verify the authenticity and validity of the identity document, as well as its correspondence with the certificate applicant, through facial recognition technologies (using biometric engines evaluated by the NIST), and to verify that it is a live person who is not being impersonated.
Veridas offers certified technology based on these requirements and assists Trusted Electronic Service Providers (QTSPs) in complying with Order ETD/465/2021.
SCOPE > EUROPE
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the European regulation on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data.
The GDPR includes a series of principles and requirements that determine the correct processing of personal data, leading to the establishment of multiple policies, procedures, and good practice guidelines that Veridas has implemented and reinforced by its certifications in information security.
SCOPE > CALIFORNIA (USA)
The California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) is a privacy law that regulates any business that may process the personal information of California residents, so in practice, it can affect companies anywhere in the U.S. or the world.
Veridas complies with the requirements set forth by the CCPA, which is strengthened by the data processing policies that Veridas applies in the provision of its services (controller control of how data is processed, no storage of personal data, etc.).
SCOPE > SPAIN
The Spanish Data Protection Agency (AEPD) presented, at the beginning of 2021, a project to try to prevent and combat the different situations of digital violence that occur on the Internet. Its objective is twofold: on the one hand, to publicize the good practices to be carried out by society as a whole in order to build a healthy digital environment, and on the other, it is also intended to publicize the specific mechanism they have developed to try to remove certain sexual or violent content from the network: the Priority Channel.
Adherence to this Pact implies a public commitment, already reiterated on numerous occasions by Veridas, to comply with certain standards in terms of Data Protection, while at the same time allowing us to actively collaborate in the creation of a freer and safer Internet.
SCOPE > MEXICO
Veridas complies with the requirements established by the Mexican regulation, partially thanks to its similarity with European data protection regulations regarding the rights of data subjects and the obligations of data controllers and data processors.
The framework for the protection of personal data in Mexico is composed of several regulations, among which we can highlight the Federal Law for the Protection of Personal Data in Possession of Private Parties (LFPDPPP) and its Regulation.
SCOPE > COLOMBIA
Veridas has established security measures and privacy by default and by design principles, and complies with the obligations established for data processors, which are always regulated in a contract with its clients.
In Colombia, personal data protection is regulated by Law 1581 of 2012 and various decrees, developing the principles established by the Constitution.
Compliance with previous regulations enables our solutions to comply with other national and international data protection regulations.
