About 1Kosmos

1Kosmos sells a platform that combines identity verification and passwordless authentication, organized around KYC, KYE, and KYA use cases. On the 1Kosmos platform, a user proves their identity once and reuses it across onboarding, login, account recovery, and high-risk transaction step-up. 1Kosmos says that unverified people create fraud risk and that unauthenticated agents create liability. The 1Kosmos platform adds its control to existing identity infrastructure and gives employees, customers, citizens, and AI agents a reusable, passwordless identity across onboarding, access, recovery, and step-up verification.[2][3][4]

1Kosmos identity verification uses document and biometric proofing with liveness detection, certified to NIST 800-63-3 IAL2, with IAL3 step-up. 1Kosmos passwordless authentication offers LiveID, 1Key, and FIDO2 sign-in built on the same verified identity, with support for legacy MFA, PIV, and RADIUS. 1Kosmos offers phishing-resistant MFA options including LiveID biometrics, passkeys, FIDO2, and device biometrics. The 1Kosmos reusable identity wallet is cryptographically protected and user-controlled, stores no PII, and requires the user's consent for every use. 1Kosmos feeds verified identity into the systems its customers already run, with more than 150 pre-built connectors. 1Kosmos integrates with Okta, Microsoft, Ping, Zscaler, and more.[3]

1Kosmos Workforce turns on only what each stage of the KYE journey requires, and the Intelligence Layer monitors risk across all of them. For new hire screening, 1Kosmos verifies new hires and contractors with IAL2-compliant identity proofing before any account is provisioned. In the workforce flow, a government ID is matched to the same face, and US work eligibility is confirmed against that identity. 1Kosmos binds the verified identity to the HR record and directory account before access is granted. New hires sign in passwordless with LiveID or phrase + PIN, and no initial password is ever sent. 1Kosmos help desk verification replaces agent judgment with a government ID check and a live biometric match that returns pass/fail. 1Kosmos confirms a verified identity before agents or self-service portals reset passwords, MFA, or profiles. For frontline workers, 1Kosmos secures shared workstations without passwords, personal tokens, or smartphones.[6]

The 1Kosmos 1Key is a biometric device that stays with each shared desktop and lets every shift authenticate to Windows, VPN, and apps without personal tokens or passwords. 1Key includes biometric and touch security keys for individual users. 1Kosmos reverifies agents automatically when roles or risk change. 1Kosmos identity verification enables reverification at critical moments. 1Kosmos prompts additional verification when risk escalates during high-value returns, account changes, or contractor access, without restarting the full identity journey. 1Kosmos steps up security when risk increases during high-value transactions, account recovery, or access from new devices.[7][8][9]

1Kosmos is a Kantara certified credential service provider delivering NIST IAL2 identity proofing and AAL2 authentication for healthcare workflows. 1Kosmos proofs patients, prescribers, staff, and partners at IAL2 and provisions accounts with a reusable verified identity. 1Kosmos lets clinicians access EHRs, e-prescribing tools and clinical apps with a quick biometric sign-in that replaces passwords. In higher education, 1Kosmos verifies students, faculty, staff, and alumni remotely with document and biometric checks and binds each verified identity to campus accounts and trusted devices. 1Kosmos replaces passwords with biometric login anchored to a verified identity, working alongside existing SSO and MFA.[10][11]

For public sector agencies, 1Kosmos provides IAL2 identity proofing, remote caller verification, and a reusable wallet. 1Kosmos issues digital identity wallets to public sector users who do not have PIV/CACs but still need system access. 1Kosmos verifies residents with full IAL2 proofing made up of document verification, AAMVA lookup, identity database checks, and biometric face match. 1Kosmos digital identity wallets are stored in a private and permissioned distributed ledger. At account opening, 1Kosmos applies document verification, liveness detection, and real-time government checks against synthetic IDs and deepfakes. In retail, 1Kosmos lets store associates, fulfillment workers, and office staff access shared POS terminals and workstations using badges or biometrics instead of passwords. 1Kosmos automatically syncs employee access with HRIS and PACS. In manufacturing, 1Kosmos replaces shared passwords with biometric sign-in so every operator has their own verified identity.[8][9][12]

1Kosmos platform credentials include FedRAMP High, DoD IL4/IL5, NIST 800-63-3 AAL2/IAL2, iBeta PAD Level 2, FIDO2, and SOC 2 Type 2. 1Kosmos is backed by SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, and FedRAMP High. 1Kosmos states that it never sells, shares, or repurposes user data. 1Kosmos Partner Advantage fits firms that run a delivery practice, whether they integrate, resell, manage, or outsource services.[3][4][7][10][12][13]
