Built for healthcare needs
Purpose-built features that address the unique verification challenges of your industry.
Stop Credential Impersonation
When someone cycles aliases and uses stolen credentials, a screen runs on the wrong identity. IDV ensures the human presenting is the human vetted.
Defeat Multi-Identity Behavior
Surface inconsistencies early and prevent bad actors from evading basic hiring checks using stolen or synthesized social security numbers.
Provider Credentialing
Match the verified identity directly to medical licenses and certifications, removing any doubt about who holds the credential.
Secure Credential Wallet
Healthcare professionals carry portable, verified credentials bound to their biometric identity, instantly validated anywhere.
Escalating Threat Landscape
A basic background check is not enough.
Regulatory bodies and cybersecurity experts agree: rigorous identity validation is your only viable defense in the hiring process.
