iProov is a fast-growing global technology company and the world leader in biometric verification and authentication. iProov enables governments, financial institutions, and other enterprises around the world to verify that an individual is the right person, a real person, and that they are authenticating right now. This enables organizations to protect against identity theft, account takeover, and other fraud and cybercrime. iProov is privately owned, trading since 2013 with 27 granted patents and almost 200 employees.

Advances in technology and generative AI are making digital programs insecure and susceptible to identity fraud and account takeover. iProov combines software with science to deliver seamless and highly secure biometric verification and authentication that continuously adapts to the evolving threat landscape. Organizations can deliver a consistent biometric experience for onboarding new individuals, and for returning users throughout the identity lifecycle - for sign in, account recovery, as part of a multi-factor authentication approach, and for step-up authentication. iProov provides organizations with flexible levels of identity assurance tailored to the use case and risk threshold.

Global banks (UBS, ING, Rabobank), government digital identity programs (UK NHS login, Singapore, Australia), healthcare providers, fintechs, travel operators, and enterprises across five continents.

What makes iProov different from other biometric providers?

iProov uniquely combines patented real-time liveness detection (Flashmark), a cloud-based Security Operations Center (iSOC) that automatically updates defenses, and independent NIST 800-63-4 certification. Defenses evolve continuously without requiring customer-side updates.

What certifications does iProov hold?

ISO 30107-3 (Level 1 and 2), NIST 800-63-4, eIDAS (highest assurance), FIDO Alliance, and WCAG 2.2 AA/Section 508. Verified by UK, Singapore, and Australian governments; red team tested by US Department of Homeland Security. Learn more about our extensive certifications and conformance testing here.

Does iProov require specialist hardware?

No. iProov works on any device with a user-facing camera and internet connection. No dedicated hardware, sensors required. All liveness detection functionality is built into iProov's single, compact SDK - the most lightweight on the market - with no additional software, hardware, or plugins required on the user's device.

Our Story

iProov was founded in 2011 on a ‘Big Idea’. That Big Idea focused on solving a complex challenge: how to prove someone is who they say they are on a digital platform.

Having experienced the devastating consequences of online criminal activity, our founder and CEO, Andrew Bud, vowed to find a safe and secure way for organizations to verify the genuine presence of an individual. To enable this to happen it was necessary to ensure that the person setting up an online account was an actual person, and then authenticate that person whenever they return to use a digital service or verify their identity at secure locations.

The Big Idea was to use facial biometrics and controlled illumination to assure the genuine presence of a human being. Why facial biometrics? Because most government-issued identity documents contain a picture of a face, and an identity can be verified against a trusted source. Why controlled illumination? Because it’s completely effortless for the user, with no instructions to follow or complex actions required. Just a brief, simple selfie capture that takes just seconds to complete. This gives the most secure assurance that an individual is not an imposter, a photo, a mask, a deepfake video, or a multitude of other sophisticated cyber attack tactics being used by criminal gangs worldwide. The future will see the addition of a multi-modal biometric approach to increase identity assurance further.

Today, iProov is trusted by global public sector and governments, financial services, safeguarding providers, digital identity programs, and travel and health organizations to verify online individuals with security, usability, and privacy assured.
