Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • September 2026 SDK releases show active shipping across Android, iOS, Flutter, and web.
  • Citadelo's August 2026 black-box testing strengthens sales to banks, telecoms, and regulators.
  • Biometric Ventures' April 2026 Mettis AI deal expands distribution into mobility and road-safety customers.

What critics are saying

  • Eye-Gaze and MagnifEye liveness are deprecated; support ends December 2026.
  • Biometric Ventures distractions deepen as capital chases Mettis AI and Dalinora instead of core sales.
  • A failed government procurement cycle would cripple revenue, because ABIS and border-control contracts dominate.

What makes Innovatrics unique

  • Innovatrics serves governments and enterprises, reaching 1 billion people across 80+ countries.
  • Its September 2026 IDV Toolkit ships Multi-Range Liveness after independent injection testing failed.
  • March 2026 Video Investigation unifies CCTV, body-cam, facial search, and chain-of-custody workflows.

DigiSign adds Innovatrics identity verification to expand digital signing to 120+ countries

Innovatrics, a biometric technology provider, announced that DigiSign has integrated its identity verification technology into its digital signing platform. The integration enables DigiSign to verify signers' identities across more than 120 countries. DigiSign, a signing platform by Digital Solutions, incorporated Innovatrics' document capture, selfie verification and liveness detection capabilities. The solution runs on DigiSign's own servers, allowing personal data to remain within its controlled environment. The technology supports DigiSign's standalone identity verification service, used by clients including Raiffeisenbank, E.ON and Raynet. Usage has grown 5–10% month over month since launch. The web components handle identity document and selfie capture directly within DigiSign's interface whilst maintaining DigiSign's existing user experience. This deployment model addresses strict data handling requirements in sectors such as banking and insurance.

DigiSign supports companies in signing business, HR and client documents online, including cases that require stronger identity verification. Alongside Bank iD, which allows users in Czechia to verify their identity through online banking, DigiSign has added another verification route for signers using other forms of identification, including those based abroad. Identity Verification Built into the Signing Process Innovatrics web components handle identity document and selfie capture directly within DigiSign's interface, while Innovatrics Identity Verification runs in the background. The setup allows DigiSign to maintain its own UX and processes while adding remote identity verification to support a broader range of signers. The solution runs on DigiSign's own servers, allowing personal data to remain within its controlled environment and supporting client requirements for data retention and anonymization. This deployment model is particularly relevant for sectors such as banking and insurance with strict data handling requirements. "Thanks to Innovatrics, we received a great technical solution that improved the value of our product and created new business opportunities. I also appreciate Innovatrics' personal and proactive approach, where they were interested in our needs and looked for solutions with us," said Pavel Pavlas, Head of Product at DigiSign. Extending Digital Signing to More Markets With Innovatrics Identity Verification, DigiSign can extend trusted verification to signers in 120+ additional countries, including people using other forms of identification alongside Bank iD. This gives businesses another way to keep signing processes online for users in Czechia and abroad. Innovatrics Identity Verification also supports DigiSign's standalone identity verification service, allowing businesses to confirm identity before a signature, during onboarding, or at other points where stronger identity proof is required.

Innovatrics Identity Verification Toolkit stands up to independent video injection attack testing.

Innovatrics Identity Verification Toolkit stands up to independent video injection attack testing. As deepfakes, digital injection, and synthetic identities raise fraud risk in remote onboarding, regulated organizations face growing pressure to prevent financial losses, compliance exposure, and loss of customer trust Innovatrics commissioned Citadelo, an ethical hacking firm, to test whether its Identity Verification could resist attempts to bypass facial liveness detection. After 16 days of independent black box testing, including an evaluation of digital injection scenarios, the attacks were unsuccessful. The assessment was designed to reflect how a determined attacker would approach a real identity verification system. Citadelo worked without access to source code, internal architecture, or proprietary instructions. "During a major customer engagement, we were required to provide independent proof that our identity verification solution is resilient against injection attacks. We selected Citadelo for their expertise, reputation, and ability to meet the customer's demanding timeline. Their assessment provided valuable independent validation and reinforced confidence in the robustness of our technology," said Viktor Bielko, Product Manager for Identity Verification Toolkit. This matters because remote onboarding is now a core part of financial services, telecom, insurance, and digital platforms. As fraud tools become easier to access, companies need proof that their identity verification systems can resist more than simple photo or video attacks. Tested from the outside. The goal of the assessment in a controlled lab setting was to test how it behaved under pressure from an external security team. Citadelo reviewed Innovatrics Identity Verification with a focus on video injection and resistance to tampering. The team attempted to interfere with the capture process, replace biometric inputs, and challenge the connection between the user's device and the verification system. "The combination of strict native-layer code isolation, hardware-anchored data correlation, and server-side validation models ensures the solution provides elite protection for enterprise digital ecosystems. After days of intensive reverse engineering and injection attempts, we could not bypass the IDV solution within the timeframe. This just confirms the robustness and overall security of the technology," explained Oliver, Ethical Hacker at Citadelo. Why independent testing matters? For organizations that rely on remote onboarding, the ability to combat video injection attacks is a key part of fraud prevention. It helps confirm that the person completing a verification process is present and not represented by a manipulated image, video, or synthetic input. Independent testing adds another layer of confidence. It gives security, fraud, and compliance teams a clearer view of how identity verification performs when exposed to actual attack methods. It also reflects a practical reality. A secure onboarding flow cannot depend only on the end user's device. Modern identity verification needs layered protection, server-side validation, and checks that make it harder to manipulate the process from software alone. Innovatrics continues to invest in biometric security built on independent validation and continuous testing that helps organizations protect digital onboarding while keeping the user experience simple.

Biometric Ventures backs Mettis AI's driver monitoring system combining facial recognition with behaviour analytics

Biometric Ventures, the venture capital arm of biometrics company Innovatrics, has invested in Spanish startup Mettis AI, which develops AI-based driver monitoring systems. The investment amount was not disclosed. Mettis AI combines behavioural analytics with biometric identity verification to analyse driving behaviour in real time, detecting dangerous manoeuvres and risk patterns. Its facial recognition technology ensures driver behaviour data is attributed to the correct individual, particularly useful in logistics where multiple drivers operate the same vehicle. The technology also serves ride-hailing platforms and driving schools. The companies plan to target fleet operators, mobility platforms and carpooling services. Established in late 2023, Biometric Ventures focuses on early-stage startups developing or leveraging biometric technology.
