Traditional approaches for attaining an IAL3 certificate involve physically inspecting individuals and their documents – this is expensive, time consuming and doesn’t work with remote workers.
An effective IAL3 process serves as the initial line of defense against sophisticated infiltration attempts, and is also essential to FedRAMP High compliance and 3PAO audit.
IAL3 is the highest level of identity proofing
IAL3 verification is the highest level of identity proofing required of anyone who accesses sensitive data, such as database administrators or DevOps engineers. A strong IAL3 process not only meets FedRAMP High requirements, but it can also prevent sophisticated fraud attempts while assuring that only authorized personnel access specific files.
Traditional approaches to IAL3 require in-person verification sessions, but this method is unsustainable for distributed teams as it creates logistical nightmares. Flying employees across the country, paying hotel costs and losing valuable workdays for 15 minute verification sessions simply cannot be sustained.
Trust Swiftly’s IAL3 compliant solution provides an easier, less burdensome and compliant option that reduces security and operations teams workload while remaining compliant. Its hardware-based supervised remote ID verification platform offers an adaptable, secure solution against advanced fraud techniques combining document verification, facial recognition with liveness detection technology and watchlist screening; combined with our turnkey kit it makes for an efficient and effective cyber threat protection solution.
IAL3 is supervised
The NIST 800-63A IAL3 Guidelines are essential to modern security, with their emphasis on phishing-resistant authentication and strong federated identities. Yet these guidelines also offer flexibility, enabling agencies to select appropriate levels IAL, AAL, and FAL depending on business and security risk management considerations.
At IAL3, identity verification requires in-person, attended verification with stringent evidence validation and biometrics. It’s like showing up at a government office with documents and passport to vouch for yourself – however this model is infeasible when deployed remotely: flying employees across country or spending days at hotels just to confirm identities is costly and time consuming, decreasing productivity significantly.
Trust Swiftly allows you to achieve IAL3 compliance remotely using a network of supervised agents. Combining chat, video, facial recognition with liveness detection and document authentication ensures continuous risk-based identity proofing at any point in time.
IAL3 is remote
Verifying individual IAL3 verification in person can be expensive and cannot scale for remote workers, creating serious security risks and compliance bottlenecks. Trust Swiftly’s hardware-based, remote IAL3 solution addresses these challenges and guarantees FedRAMP high compliance while safeguarding sensitive information from sophisticated threats.
Identity Proofing at Level I may suffice in many instances; however, Identity Proofing Level II requires additional evidence and more stringent processes to protect against impersonation attacks and identity proofing errors. These include processes for validating and verifying documents as well as biometric comparison and collection.
TrustSwiftly’s supervised remote IAL3 verification uses multiple methods to establish whether someone’s claimed digital identity matches up with their real-life identity, including document validation for thousands of global documents; biometrics (facial recognition with liveness detection; fingerprint scanning and voice authentication), dynamic knowledge-based authentication as well as public bounty challenges to attract ethical hackers to test its resilience continuously improve defenses; this platform also supports various deployment options including self-service kiosks in secure locations.
IAL3 is scalable
FedRAMP Control List Item 3 (IAL3) may seem minor, but it is absolutely crucial for safeguarding privileged systems against sophisticated threats. To satisfy this requirement, a CSP must be capable of verifying identities with high assurance levels; traditional in-person proofing processes are both costly and impractical for remote workers, often creating compliance bottlenecks in the process.
An effective, more scalable option is using hardware-based remote NIST IAL3 verification with a managed solution like Trust Swiftly. This platform combines document verification, biometrics (facial recognition with liveness detection), and knowledge-based authentication into one solution, helping the system address sophisticated threat vectors effectively.
A scalable IAL3 process must be flexible enough to adapt to shifting risks, evolving attack models and evolving threats. Furthermore, it must ensure binding of a new authenticator after successful IAL3 identity proofing sessions are complete; this may be accomplished using unique continuation codes or authenticators captured during proofing processes.
