Build trust across the entire employee lifecycle
From pre-employment verification to onboarding and complete workforce identity lifecycle
Establish trust with pre-employment ID verification
The employee lifecycle begins with one critical question:
Is this person who they claim to be?
Organizations face growing pressure to hire quickly while maintaining confidence in who they bring into the workforce. International hiring, onboarding contractors or temporary workers, and increasingly sophisticated identity fraud have made verification more complex.
Common challenges include verifying applicants remotely, detecting fraudulent or altered identity documents, confirming right-to-work eligibility, and maintaining consistent screening processes across locations and teams.
Why pre-employment identity verification matters
When screening applicants, organizations need reliable ways to verify identity documents, validate credentials, and demonstrate compliance with internal policies and regulatory requirements.
Getting identity verification wrong can have serious consequences.
Hiring individuals under a false identity can expose organizations to compliance violations, financial losses, insider threats, reputational damage, and unauthorized access to critical systems and facilities.
Employers may also face substantial penalties for failing to complete legally required right-to-work checks. Verifying identity documents before onboarding helps organizations establish trust and reduce the risk of identity fraud entering the workforce.
Extend trust beyond onboarding
Identity verification is only the first step. Once individuals join an organization, they require secure access to applications, networks, devices, physical facilities, and digital services. At the same time, organizations must protect sensitive and critical systems from unauthorized access.
As employees change roles, work remotely, collaborate with partners, or leave the organization, their access rights must evolve accordingly.
Without a reliable solution, organizations can struggle with excessive privileges, dormant accounts, fragmented access controls, and limited visibility into who has access to what.
By centralizing workforce identity management, organizations can strengthen security, support regulatory compliance, simplify administration, and ensure that only authorized individuals have access to critical resources.
Moreover, identity has become a critical component of compliance and cyber resilience strategies. Establishing trusted identities, enforcing access controls, and maintaining comprehensive audit trails can help organizations support requirements outlined in eIDAS, PSD3, ISO/IEC 27001, NIS2, and other industry-specific frameworks.
What organizations need for a trusted employee identity management
Building a trusted workforce identity strategy requires more than a single verification step. Organizations need to confidently verify the identity of applicants, detect fraudulent identity documents, maintain consistent onboarding procedures, and ensure that employees, contractors, and partners have the appropriate access throughout their lifecycle.
To achieve this, organizations need solutions that support remote and in-person identity verification, provide comprehensive audit trails, and enable consistent, compliant verification processes. For higher-assurance identity checks, they may require dedicated document scanners capable of validating chips, security features, and other indicators of potential fraud. In situations where manual document inspection is preferred, access to a comprehensive and reliable document reference database is essential to help staff verify document layouts, security features, and issuing details accurately.
Beyond identity verification, organizations also need a secure way to issue, manage, and govern workforce identities, credentials, and access rights throughout the employment lifecycle, while supporting strong authentication, digital signing, and secure access to systems and resources.
This creates a continuous chain of trust, helping organizations verify who joins the workforce, govern access to critical resources, and maintain secure workforce identities from onboarding through offboarding.
