Spectrum of Identity Assurance: Navigating the Complexities of Remote Identity Proofing

In-person identity verification, once the gold standard, has become a competitive disadvantage in today’s digital-first world.  Organizations are shifting towards remote identity verification methods to onboard and verify users, driven by the need for greater convenience, accessibility, and efficiency compared to traditional in-person processes. But the shift to remote verification demands a fundamental rethinking of establishing and maintaining trust – and necessitates robust identity-proofing measures to mitigate risks such as fraud, identity theft, and account takeover.
