Question 1

What is an identity verification platform?

Accepted Answer

An identity verification platform is a unified infrastructure layer that handles the full lifecycle of KYC and AML compliance — document checks, biometric liveness, business verification, sanctions screening, consent management, and audit trails — in a single integration. Hypersign provides all of these natively, so compliance teams don't need to stitch together separate vendors.

Question 2

What makes Hypersign different from Persona or Sumsub?

Accepted Answer

Most KYC vendors verify identity once and store raw data centrally. Hypersign goes further: it issues reusable verifiable credentials, captures explicit consent at every verification, stores identity in encrypted user-controlled vaults, and aligns with eIDAS 2.0 and the EUDI Wallet. You get full compliance infrastructure — not a point solution.

Question 3

Which document types and countries are supported?

Accepted Answer

Hypersign supports 14,000+ document types across 189+ countries, including passports, national ID cards, driver licences, and residence permits. OCR, MRZ parsing, barcode reading, and NFC chip authentication are supported on applicable document types.

Question 4

Is Hypersign GDPR and DPDP compliant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Hypersign builds consent capture, data minimisation, and purpose-linked data use into every verification flow. Timestamped audit logs prove compliance at any point in time. Lifecycle management in the identity vault supports GDPR's right to erasure and India's DPDP Act requirements.

Question 5

What is reusable KYC and how does it reduce costs?

Accepted Answer

Reusable KYC means a user verifies once and Hypersign issues a cryptographically signed verifiable credential. That credential is reused across any Hypersign-connected platform — so users never repeat the same check. This reduces onboarding drop-off, cuts per-user costs over time, and directly supports the eIDAS 2.0 EUDI Wallet standard.

Question 6

What is ongoing KYC?

Accepted Answer

Ongoing KYC is continuous monitoring of a user's verification status after the initial check. When an identity document on file expires, the user's status is automatically flagged, a webhook notification is sent, and a re-verification flow is triggered — keeping records compliant with AMLD6, eIDAS 2.0, and national AML frameworks without manual intervention.

Question 7

How does KYB business verification work?

Accepted Answer

Hypersign's KYB platform orchestrates full business onboarding: company document collection, director verification, UBO mapping, shareholder KYC, and ongoing AML monitoring — all in structured workflows with a complete audit trail. Registry lookups cover 200+ jurisdictions.

Question 8

How quickly can we go live with Hypersign?

Accepted Answer

Teams can go live in minutes using Hypersign's no-code hosted verifier page. For custom integration, modular REST APIs and SDKs for KYC, KYB, AML, consent, and credentials are available. Full API integration typically takes days, not months.

Question 9

What compliance certifications does Hypersign hold?

Accepted Answer

Hypersign is audit-ready for SOC 2 Type I, ISO/IEC 27001:2022, and iBeta Level 1 PAD, with those certifications currently in progress, and is aligned with GDPR, DORA, MiCA, AMLD6, eIDAS 2.0, and the FATF Travel Rule.

Question 10

What should I look for in a KYC provider?

Accepted Answer

Coverage (document types and countries supported), whether the provider handles identity verification alone or the full compliance lifecycle (KYB, AML screening, ongoing monitoring, consent, and audit trails), certification status (SOC 2, ISO 27001, PAD level), and integration speed. Many KYC providers only verify identity once at onboarding — look for one that supports ongoing KYC and reusable credentials so you're not re-verifying the same user across every product or partner.

Question 11

Who are the leading identity verification companies?

Accepted Answer

The market includes global platforms with broad document coverage (Trulioo, Onfido, Sumsub, iDenfy), enterprise risk-and-compliance vendors (Entrust, LexisNexis Risk Solutions), and full-stack compliance platforms like Hypersign that combine ID verification, KYB, AML screening, and reusable Verifiable Credentials in one integration. The right choice depends on whether you need a point-in-time identity check or ongoing compliance infrastructure — that's the key distinction to evaluate providers against.
