In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital security, choosing the right identity verification vendor is critical. The Gartner Buyer’s Guide for Identity Verification is an essential resource designed to help security and risk management leaders navigate this complex decision-making process.

Key Insights from the report

• Organizations face a confusing choice of different methods to gain confidence in a user’s identity, often struggling to understand how data-centric identity affirmation and document-centric identity verification vary in the assurance levels that they offer.

• Gartner clients consistently cite difficulty in understanding how effective the identity verification process is, given the lack of standards and metrics available. This makes vendor comparison challenging.

• Vendors vary greatly in how they handle and store personally identifiable information (PII) and in their reasons for doing so.

• In a bid to avoid commoditization, many vendors have added features like authentication or connecting to issuer databases in order to augment or supplement the identity verification process.

• RFPs for identity verification often make it difficult to choose between vendors as they focus on too narrow a set of features coupled with insufficient depth of understanding of the core building blocks of the identity verification process.
