In the modern business world, especially in large companies and SMEs, digital identity verification is a key pillar for growth and security. There are now a large number of national eID solutions in Europe – from ID Austria and the German online ID card to other services in over 20 member states. Each solution has its own technical interfaces, regulatory requirements and organizational and technical integration challenges. For companies, this means that what seems like progress at first glance actually leads to identity chaos in practice:
- IT departments have to integrate and maintain numerous different technical systems and software components
- HR departments struggle with process interruptions in recruitment
- Legal departments have high compliance requirements when verifying employee data or checking employment contracts.
Regulated sectors such as the financial world, insurance companies, energy suppliers and public administration are particularly affected . Instead of uniform, secure standards, they are confronted with a multitude of tools and systems for identification, which ties up resources and slows down digital transformation.
The solution: sproof Ident as a universal aggregator
This is where sproof Ident comes in. Instead of being slowed down by fragmented systems, our modular platform combines all common identification methods in a single, central interface. sproof Ident acts as an aggregator that bundles the complexity in the background, creating a seamless process for electronic identification for you and your end customers.
Advantages for the company or organization:
- IT department: Reduce integration effort. sproof Ident is based on a
“Unified Standard for Attribute-Based Identification”. This means you no longer manage multiple APIs from different providers, but just one standardized interface. This keeps your systems lean, efficient and future-proof. - Compliance: sproof Ident ensures that all processes comply with the strictest eIDAS and GDPR standards. This allows you to meet the highest regulatory requirements and minimize risks in the area of data protection and identity management.
- Human resources (HR) department: Simplify the onboarding of new employees and the verification of external contractors. Automated, legally compliant identification processes save you time and avoid process interruptions – for a smooth HR experience.
- Legal department (Legal): All identifications are legally compliant and traceable. This minimizes the risk of legal disputes and ensures seamless compliance when reviewing contracts and partners.
- Management (C-Level): sproof Ident is a strategic investment: you sustainably reduce the costs for manual verifications, increase efficiency and strengthen your customers’ trust through a professional, secure and seamless experience.
How the user journey works in the identification process
The process works as follows: A user starts the identification process directly in your application, for example in a customer portal or when registering for a new service. The user is offered various options via sproof Ident directly or a native flow:
- Use of a national eID (e.g. ID Austria or German online ID card)
- Auto-Ident: a guided smartphone process in which ID documents and a short selfie check confirm identity
With auto-ident verification, the user is guided through the process with her smartphone, during which she has to scan the front and back of her ID document as well as a live image of her face (liveness detection). The system compares the biometric features and reliably establishes the identity. Regardless of the method chosen, sproof Ident performs all the necessary checks in the background and sends the result of whether the identity has been successfully confirmed back to your system.
This approach ensures a high identification success rate by giving users choice while meeting all legal and security requirements in a single, seamless user journey.
Conclusion: trust, security and efficiency in one platform
With sproof Ident you solve the identity chaos in your company. You create a platform that:
- Strengthens trust among customers and partners
- Highest security and compliance requirements met
- Increases efficiency and reduces costs
