Experian PLC and I-SEC Technologies, B.V. to Provide Document Checking Technology for the Fight against Fraud

ICTS International N.V. (ICTSF. OB) through its wholly owned subsidiary I-SEC Technologies B.V., a global leader in identity document authentication and management and Experian, the global information services company, today announced a partnership to provide document checking technology, commonly used in airports, to private and public sector organizations in the UK.

Powered using Experian’s Authentication services, the partnership’s new Document ID Check technology will enable organizations, such as financial institutions and law enforcement bodies, to more effectively and efficiently validate the authenticity of physical documents and the identity of those using them. This means that organizations will no longer be reliant on people for spotting a fake document - removing the need for specialist training for those involved in checking documents and minimizing the risk of collusion.

The new technology has been developed to authenticate documents in high-security and business-critical environments, and has been proven in airports and border crossings. Document ID Check uses document scanners and software that quickly verifies security features such as biometric data, visual data, infrared, ultraviolet and holograms and then provides a full authentication check within five seconds.

Nick Mothershaw, Director of Fraud and Identity Solutions at Experian, commented: “The increasingly sophisticated nature of fraudsters and counterfeiters makes confirming the authenticity of physical documents a difficult and time-consuming process.

Experian and I-SEC have enabled airport-style document checking technology to be used in bank branches and other high-volume organizations for the first time, providing a more robust, cost-effective and consumer-friendly way of managing fraud risk. Powered by Experian’s data-based authentication services, organizations have the most comprehensive defense possible in the fight against fraud.”

Suzanne Steele, Managing Director for Europe at I-SEC Technologies, commented: “The flexibility, accuracy and depth of data that the Document ID Check system delivers make it an invaluable tool for verifying identity credentials. The system is vastly superior to manual checking processes, identifying even the most elaborately designed false documents. It is perfect for customer facing organizations that require original documents when dealing with customers.”
