Veridas, a Spanish technology company specialising in digital identity and biometrics, has received accreditation for its Age Estimation Technology from the UK’s Age Check Certification Scheme (ACCS) for Evaluation Assurance Level 2.
The Age Check Certification Scheme (ACCS) is a UKAS-accredited conformity assessment body, comprised of auditors, certification specialists and data protection experts. ACCS independently tests and certifies online and offline systems that check both age and identity, such as passport scanners, biometric technology and age verification software. ACCS is aimed at protecting children from the harm associated with access to age-restricted products, content and services.
Veridas offers a comprehensive age verification solution that leverages advanced AI technology to determine the age of an individual with just a selfie, in a matter of milliseconds. Supported by strong anti-spoofing and deep fake detection, the Veridas approach to Age Verification also incorporates rigorous identity document and biometric checks to be applied if the user’s age is under the required limit. This in-house developed solution reduces the risk of fines and damage to your reputation while providing fast and seamless access for customers.
“As we expand into different territories, it is of utmost importance to secure the trust and recognition of our current and potential customers in the region,” said Eduardo Azanza, CEO, Veridas. “The internationally recognised ACCS is a highly regarded safeguard in the UK and a standard that we are thrilled to have easily met.”
