In today's digital economy, trust is the ultimate currency. Every time a user signs up, a candidate is hired, or a transaction is processed, a fundamental question must be answered: "Is this person who they claim to be?" Answering this question involves handling some of the most sensitive data imaginable— Personally Identifiable Information (PII).
For developers and businesses, this presents a significant challenge. How do you build seamless verification experiences without taking on the monumental burden of navigating complex global regulations and building fortress-like security infrastructure?
At verification.services.do, our answer is simple: Trust as Code. Security and compliance aren't features we added on; they are the bedrock upon which our entire platform is built. This post pulls back the curtain on how we protect your data at every step of the verification workflow, giving you the confidence to build and scale.
Let's be clear: when dealing with identity data, the stakes are incredibly high. A single data breach can lead to devastating financial losses, irreparable damage to your brand's reputation, and severe legal penalties under regulations like GDPR and CCPA.
Managing this risk is a full-time job. That's why we've made it our full-time job. Our API-first platform is designed to abstract away this complexity, providing you with a single, secure integration point to a world of verification services. You get the power of instant verification without the sleepless nights.
We embed security into the very architecture of our system. Here are the core principles that guide our approach and ensure your verification workflows are always secure and compliant.
Data is most vulnerable when it's moving or being stored. We protect it rigorously at both stages.
We operate in a global landscape of data privacy laws, and we empower you to meet your obligations with ease. Our platform is built with a deep understanding of regulations like GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) and CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act).
This translates into tangible features within our workflows:
verification.services.do integrates with a vast network of trusted, global data providers and government databases. But we don't just connect to them—we curate them.
Our provider-agnostic approach means we rigorously vet every data source for its security posture and compliance standards. Our AI-driven workflows then act as a secure intermediary. Your application makes one simple API call to us; our agents then orchestrate the complex task of querying the right providers in the background. This insulates your systems from direct exposure and ensures every data source meets our high standards.
The beauty of our platform is that this entire security apparatus is built-in. You don't need to configure it; you simply benefit from it.
Consider this simple API call to run an identity check:
import { Client } from '@do-sdk/client';
// Initialize the .do client with your API key
const aido = new Client({ apiKey: 'YOUR_API_KEY' });
// Run an identity verification workflow
const verification = await aido.services.verification.run({
type: 'identity',
provider: 'veriff',
person: {
firstName: 'Jane',
lastName: 'Doe',
email: 'jane.doe@example.com'
},
callbackUrl: 'https://yourapp.com/webhooks/verification_status'
});
console.log('Verification initiated:', verification.id);
// Expected output: Verification initiated: ver_123abc456def789
Notice what's not in the code: complex encryption settings, manual data handling logic, or direct connections to third-party vendors. Our SDK and API handle all the heavy lifting of secure communication and workflow orchestration. You can initiate a powerful, compliant, and secure verification process with just a few lines of code.
Choosing an identity verification partner is a decision built on trust. At verification.services.do, we earn that trust by embedding security and compliance into every workflow, every API call, and every line of code.
By abstracting away the complexity of data protection, we empower you to focus on what you do best: building innovative products and amazing user experiences. You can integrate identity, background, and data checks with the confidence that the underlying processes are robust, secure, and ready for global scale.
