A three-year streak of innovation, trust, and leadership
We are proud to announce that Veridas has been named a sample vendor in Gartner’s 2025 Hype Cycle for Digital Identity—marking our third consecutive appearance in this highly anticipated industry report.
This year, Veridas has been recognized in two strategic categories:
- Third-Party Biometrics
- Age Assurance and Parental Consent Tracking
Third-Party Biometrics: Driving Trust and Seamless UX
Gartner highlights that organizations are rapidly adopting third-party biometrics to enable passwordless, high-assurance authentication and remote account recovery, especially as businesses move away from limited, device-native solutions.
Veridas’ biometric engines—100% proprietary and consistently ranked among the top performers by NIST—offer:
- Multimodal support (face and voice)
- Full orchestration across channels and devices
- Greater configurability and control
- Frictionless, inclusive user experience
Our approach provides the trust, accountability, and flexibility that modern organizations demand—across onboarding, authentication, and access scenarios.
Age Assurance and Parental Consent: Compliance Meets Innovation
With the rise of global privacy and safety regulations like COPPA, GDPR-K, and the UK Online Safety Act, businesses face increasing pressure to implement age assurance and parental consent mechanisms that are both secure and privacy-preserving.
Veridas is leading the way with:
- AI-powered age estimation with fairness across demographics
- Parental consent orchestration and digital verification
- Certified Presentation Attack Detection (PAD)
- Transparent compliance capabilities tailored for global regulations
Whether for age-gated content, online education, or youth-focused platforms, Veridas helps organizations stay compliant without sacrificing user experience or trust.
A Platform Built for the Expanding Identity Landscape
Gartner’s research also points to a growing demand for flexible, multi-modal identity solutions across sectors like banking, telecom, contact centers, and digital services. Veridas is uniquely positioned to meet this demand with:
- End-to-end identity verification
- Seamless integration of face, voice, document, and behavioral biometrics
- Real-time fraud detection
- Orchestration tailored to any trust or compliance requirement
A Track Record of Independent Recognition and Evaluation
Veridas’ inclusion in the Hype Cycle for Digital Identity—alongside past recognitions in 2023 and 2022—adds to more than a dozen mentions across Gartner’s Tier 1 documents. From identity verification to digital government, our innovations are being acknowledged at the highest levels.
And our commitment to transparency continues through rigorous evaluation by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), ensuring that our clients benefit from independently verified performance and reliability.
What Comes Next?
As digital identity becomes a global priority—strategically and politically—Veridas will continue to lead with responsible AI, sovereign technology, and human-centered design.
We thank Gartner for this recognition, and our clients and partners for their continued trust. The future of identity is being written—and together, we’re making it real.
