At IAL3 verification level, a trained CSP representative must interact with applicants during an onsite attended identity proofing session and collect at least one biometric attribute for verification purposes. This level is intended to prevent highly scalable attacks such as evidence falsification, theft or repudiation from taking place.

TrustSwiftly's remote NIST IAL3 verification solution complies with FedRAMP High compliance standards while saving time and money on costly ID checks performed in-person. This can be accomplished using facial recognition technology, address validation and watchlist screenings.

IAL3 identity proofing

IAL3 Identity Proofing employs innovative technologies to reliably verify claimed identities with exceptional precision, including real-time document validation and biometric comparison. It's an efficient alternative to passwords or weak authenticators such as other passwords available today, helping organizations meet industry regulations while protecting sensitive data.

Traditional in-person IAL3 verification sessions have often been costly and impractical for businesses with remote workforces. Flying employees across the country for 15-minute verification sessions can strain budgets while creating logistical nightmares.

Trust Swiftly's solution allows remote enrollees to conduct IAL3 verification. Their patented hardware-based solution enables enrollees to use either an app or no-code web page with locked down devices, record their face and evidence documents, and have the session attended by an agent who will provide advice or handle any issues during the session. Furthermore, biometric binding ensures an authenticator cannot be swapped out and used by someone else during verification.

NIST 800-63A IAL3

NIST 800-63A IAL3 identity verification provides the highest level of assurance that digital identities match real world identification. To accomplish this feat, an attended, on-site IAL3 session with the CSP representative present is necessary, along with several methods for authentication (facial recognition/liveness detection/document authentication/FIDO passwordless authentication/watchlist screenings/behavioral biometrics etc) used in combination. These methods reduce account takeover risks significantly.

NIST 800-63A IAL3 strengthens identity authentication layers (IALs) by integrating security with user experience. It empowers organizations to implement flexible identity proofing processes that balance security, privacy and usability requirements to help meet FedRAMP High compliance standards while simultaneously minimizing attack surfaces and protecting sensitive data against cyber attacks.

Trust Swiftly's NIST IAL3 service providers verification solution offers an efficient and secure means of verifying individuals. Utilizing high-speed hardware for identity documents capture and biometric attributes capture, as well as meeting FedRAMP compliance requirements quickly and automatically, Trust Swiftly ensures an effortless verification experience while meeting KYC/AML regulations with its user-friendly interface and KYC/AML regulations compliance.

IAL3 compliant solution

IAL3 identity verification is the highest level of assurance in the NIST Digital Identity Guidelines, providing high levels of trust that individuals are who they claim to be and making large-scale attacks more challenging and time consuming for attackers. Furthermore, this level of verification helps protect relying parties against fraud by mandating advanced document and biometric authentication processes.

Many regulated industries require individuals seeking to engage with them to undergo an IAL3 verification. This level of verification combines advanced document and biometric validation methods and must be conducted on-site with an accredited CSP representative present.

TrustSwiftly offers an effective hardware-based identity proofing solution that fulfills FedRAMP IAL3 requirements for both onsite and remote identity proofing sessions, making compliance requirements and protecting privileged accounts from advanced infiltration attacks easier to meet while also lowering operational costs and upholding data security. TrustSwiftly uses advanced facial recognition with liveness detection technology to verify claimed identities, prevent presentation attacks/spoofing attempts, and ensure credentials belong solely to their owners.

IAL3 mandates verification processes that match claimed identities to real-world records. This helps verify that only real people are accessing services or products, and reduce more sophisticated attacks using evidence falsification, theft and repudiation - thus helping CSPs limit highly-scalable attacks while safeguarding against compromised personal data.


The IAL3 process includes interaction between an authorized CSP representative and applicant either in-person or remotely, as well as biometric comparison to verify identity. These additional steps provide added protection from fraudulence such as spoofing, phishing or other threats that might otherwise threaten identity theft.

Traditional in-person IAL3 proofing methods can be costly and inconvenient for remote employees, which makes the traditional methods even less viable for organizations with remote employees. Trust Swiftly's hardware-based remote IAL3 compliant solution provides an effortless process that meets requirements while saving organizations money while mitigating security risks and satisfying 3PAO auditors. Trust Swiftly's patented technologies offer various identity verification techniques which provide comprehensive reports that meet FedRAMP High compliance standards; such as chat, video, facial recognition with liveness detection capability as well as document authentication as well as step-up reproofing depending on risk.
