Recognition underscores frictionless, privacy-forward platform that is trusted by global enterprises and government agencies

1Kosmos, a leader in unifying identity proofing and passwordless authentication, today announced it has been named an Overall Leader, Product Leader, and Innovation Leader in the 2025 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Identity Verification. The report highlights 1Kosmos for its comprehensive product capabilities, industry leading technology, and market reach.

“This recognition from KuppingerCole reinforces our commitment to delivering frictionless identity verification that addresses passwordless security and privacy requirements for workforce, customer and citizen use cases,” said Hemen Vimadalal, Co-Founder and CEO of 1Kosmos. “The 1Kosmos platform combines robust document and biometric verification with a privacy-first architecture, ensuring that both enterprises and government agencies can trust the identities at the heart of every digital interaction.”

In just two months 1Kosmos reduced fraud losses across 500 stores for a major U.S. retailer by $2.6 million. In another deployment, a leading telecommunications provider significantly curbed account fraud and identity-related attacks, reinforcing the platform’s role in combating real-world threats at scale.

According to the report, 1Kosmos is a specialized identity verification vendor with a privacy-forward approach, supporting workforce, customer, and citizen use cases. The platform’s decentralized technology and support for verifiable credentials position it as a strong partner for future shifts in digital identity issuance and identity wallets. The report also noted 1Kosmos' strong application of identity verification for authentication use cases and flexible account recovery options.

1Kosmos offers secure, remote identity verification based on scanning government-issued documents, comparing them with a live selfie of the user, and conducting advanced liveness checks. The platform supports verification for over 150 countries and 2,500 document types, ensuring global reach. Privacy is embedded in its architecture through the use of a private blockchain and user-managed encryption keys.

As a Product Leader, KuppingerCole recognized 1Kosmos for the “completeness of document and biometric verification as well as the ability to use the verified identity to support other processes such as onboarding, authentication (including step-up), KYC/AML checks, and fraud prevention.”

As an Innovation Leader, the report praised 1Kosmos for delivering “cutting-edge products and high investment in R&D with demonstrated advancements towards fraud reduction and higher-quality verifications.” KuppingerCole also highlighted 1Kosmos’ “strong set of APIs for integration” and “low/no code interface workflow builder,” which streamline deployment and orchestration into enterprise environments.

The 1Kosmos platform verifies user identity for straight-through onboarding of customers, workers and citizens. It creates a reusable identity wallet for high assurance authentication into digital services and instant validation of end-user qualifications, competencies, authority, and more. A unique privacy-by-design architecture for end user personally identifiable information (PII), simplifies compliance to privacy mandates such as GDPR, CCPR, and BIPA. 1Kosmos has attained full service certification to NIST 800-63-3 via Kantara, FIDO2, ISO/IEC 30107-1 and ISO/IEC 30107-3 Presentation Attack Detection (PAD 1 and PAD 2).
