Attaining FedRAMP High authorization requires an intensive identity proofing process that is both rigorous and cost-effective for distributed teams, since traditional proofing in person would be far too costly and impractical.

Trustswiftly provides an effective solution by offering remote hardware-assisted IAL3 verification at an economical cost that's scalable for distributed workforces. Furthermore, its use helps save travel expenses and provide a superior user experience.

NIST 800-63-4 IAL3

NIST's digital identity guidelines offer stringent standards for verifying user identity. The guidelines outline Identity Assurer Level (IAL), Authenticator Assurance Level (AAL), and Federation Assurer Level (FAL). In addition, these specifications define requirements for securely binding authenticators to identities while providing robust defense against common cyberthreats like SIM swapping, MFA bypasses and fraud impersonation attacks.

CSPs wishing to achieve nist ial3 verification must compare enrollee biometrics against images with strong identification evidence, using face, fingerprint and dual iris scanning technologies such as face recognition to confirm liveness and reduce impersonation attacks and fraud while increasing security; additionally this approach helps lower cyber liability insurance premiums and operational expenses.

However, meeting IAL3 verification requirements can be expensive and time-consuming for distributed teams. Flying employees to a central location for proofing sessions is costly and time consuming; accommodation needs to be considered along with lost productivity as they sit for 15-minute proofing sessions can add up quickly. TrustSwiftly provides an inexpensive yet scalable solution that meets IAL3 verification without the need for kiosks: its patent technology enables remote identity documents verification using instant biometric scanning thereby reducing customer friction while helping meet KYC/AML requirements

Scalable for remote workforces

Trustswiftly's scalable identity proofing solution meets the Federal Government's requirement of strong identity proofing for privileged accounts without being too costly or time consuming in person. Travel costs, compliance bottlenecks and security risks can all be reduced with remote ial3 identity verification software using controlled hardware with traceable evidence captured into an easily reviewable format by security and compliance teams for review or defense.

fedramp high identity proofing features three authorization levels that vary based on impact: Low is designed for systems with limited sensitivity; Moderate covers most federal systems containing CUI; while High should only be applied to data with extreme impact.

All three levels require review by an accredited third-party assessment organization (3PAO), continuous monitoring and documentation; however, for High the rigor and evidence required is much higher, allowing it to detect subtle vulnerabilities missed by less rigorous assessments - providing an extra layer of defense against advanced persistent threats.

Easy to set up

FedRAMP High authorization level provides the strictest level of validation for security claims. It includes 421 security controls aligned with internationally accepted best practices (NIST Special Publication 800-53). With these protections in place, organizations can efficiently safeguard sensitive content while meeting compliance mandates such as GDPR, HIPAA, CMMC Cyber Essentials Plus and IRAP requirements.

FedRAMP High's rigorous assessment process and continuous monitoring requirements distinguish FedRAMP-authorized CSPs from competitors claiming similar security capabilities, providing agencies and contractors competing in sensitive sectors a distinct edge when competing for contracts. FedRAMP High authorization may even make all the difference in winning one or not!

Low and Moderate authorization levels impose light but still stringent standards, including multi-factor authentication for privileged accounts, monthly vulnerability scans and strong incident response plans. They are sufficient for systems deemed less sensitive; FedRAMP Moderate covers most federal systems that contain Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) while High is reserved for systems supporting national security or defense, emergency services, financial data or healthcare information or those where breaches could pose significant threats to economy or public safety.

Easy to deploy

Gaining FedRAMP High authorization is an admirable feat for service providers serving federal agencies with sensitive unclassified data. This certification represents the highest levels of security rigor, control implementation requirements, and assessment depth within the framework. Furthermore, 3PAO assessment process offers extra credibility that differentiates authorized providers from competitors making similar claims without verification.

FedRAMP High authorization applies to systems where breaches would have severe or catastrophic repercussions, with 421 security controls tailored specifically to protecting data and infrastructure against multiple attack vectors and techniques. It imposes defense-in-depth security measures which provide the most mature and balanced approach to security within this framework.

FedRAMP High authorization demonstrates superior security capabilities and provides an edge in an increasingly-regulated commercial market. Achieve this designation requires rigorous security practices, constant monitoring to detect sophisticated threats and documentation of policies, procedures and technical implementations to support an integrated security program which will remain effective even as personnel change over time.

Easy to maintain

Trust Swiftly's supervised remote identity verification platform adapts to meet the requirements of various risk levels, providing flexibility and coverage globally for any population. Integrating multiple verification techniques - document checks (support for thousands of global documents), facial recognition with liveness detection, fingerprint scanning, SMS notifications and voice identification to detect sophisticated fraud attempts - this technology offers comprehensive protection. Know Your Customer nist 800-63-4 ial3 compliance is also supported, while onboarding processes can be integrated for enhanced authentication. In order to maintain its strong security record, the company hosts a public bounty challenge inviting ethical hackers. This keeps its security team ahead of new and emerging threats.
