What is Entrust Identity Verification as a Service
Entrust Identity Verification as a Service is a cloud-based identity verification offering used to verify individuals during onboarding and high-risk transactions. It supports document verification, biometric checks (such as selfie/liveness), and related fraud signals via APIs and configurable workflows. The product is typically used by digital businesses in regulated or fraud-prone environments to meet KYC/AML and account security requirements. It is positioned as part of Entrust’s broader identity and security portfolio and is commonly associated with the Entrust IDV capabilities formerly known as Onfido.
API-first verification workflows
Provides API-based integration for embedding identity verification into web and mobile onboarding flows. Supports configurable steps such as document capture, selfie capture, and automated decisioning. This approach fits teams that need to orchestrate verification within existing customer journeys rather than using a standalone portal.
Document and biometric checks
Combines government ID document verification with biometric face matching and liveness-style checks. This pairing helps address common remote onboarding risks such as impersonation and document tampering. It also supports step-up verification use cases beyond initial onboarding.
Enterprise security vendor backing
Operates under Entrust, a long-standing security and identity vendor with adjacent offerings in identity, PKI, and authentication. For buyers, this can simplify vendor consolidation and align identity verification with broader security architecture. It can also support enterprise procurement requirements around vendor risk management.
Implementation and tuning effort
Effective performance typically depends on configuration choices such as thresholds, workflow design, and exception handling. Teams often need to tune for their risk appetite and customer experience goals, especially across geographies and document types. This can increase time-to-value compared with simpler, out-of-the-box verification tools.
Ongoing cost variability
Usage-based identity verification can create variable costs tied to verification volume and the mix of checks (document, biometric, manual review). Organizations with seasonal spikes or high retry rates may see less predictable spend. Budgeting may require monitoring and controls at the workflow level.
Not a full IAM suite
While it supports identity proofing and biometric verification, it does not replace a full identity and access management platform for SSO, lifecycle provisioning, and access governance. Buyers often still need separate systems for authentication, authorization, and user directory management. Integration planning is required when positioning it within an overall identity stack.
