About Nametag
Nametag sells identity verification that combines cryptography, biometrics and AI to verify the real person behind high-risk account actions. Nametag provides ready-to-use solutions for secure employee onboarding, self-service account recovery, helpdesk verification and more. Nametag builds these solutions on Deepfake Defense identity verification. Nametag provides end-to-end solutions for secure account recovery and helpdesk verification by matching government-issued IDs to selfies.[1][2][3][4][5]
Nametag's identity assurance engine combines cryptography, biometrics, AI and other features to combat digital injection attacks and AI-generated deepfakes. Nametag's patented technologies match the user's live selfie to their government-issued photo ID, which prevents the user from impersonating someone else. Returning users can reverify their identity with a selfie, or move their reusable identity to a new device. Users open Nametag on their phone by tapping a link, with no pre-enrollment or app download needed. Nametag lets organisations send a verification request through normal support channels, prompt it automatically, or direct users to a branded self-service microsite. Biometric comparisons happen in real time, and the data is discarded once the decision is returned.[1][3][6][7]
Onboard verifies a new hire's identity at device provisioning and credential issuance. Onboard is built specifically to combat North Korean IT worker schemes and other hiring fraud, ensuring only verified hires can set up new devices or obtain directory credentials. Onboard supports 11,000+ document types, omni-channel verification across voice, chat, and email, and native iOS and Android apps. Ambiguous or contested results route to Nametag's in-house identity and fraud experts, who resolve them to a definitive pass or fail. Nametag connects to identity providers, then redirects locked-out employees to a custom-branded self-service recovery page. Nametag offers plug-and-play integrations with Okta, Microsoft Entra, Cisco Duo, Cloudflare and other platforms for IAM and Zero Trust providers. Once verified, self-service users can reset their own passwords and MFA tokens based on customizable group-based permissioning.[1][2][3][8][9][10]
Nametag describes a helpdesk problem in which bad actors use AI-enhanced social engineering to trick support agents into resetting accounts for someone they are not. Helpdesk agents can verify users from a turnkey console or inside an ITSM platform. Helpdesk integrates with ServiceNow and Zendesk, sending verification requests and showing results directly inside those existing workflows. For customer verification, Nametag scans the customer's photo ID and matches it to a live selfie using the Deepfake Defense identity verification engine. Customers tap a link or scan a QR code to open Nametag, with no app download and no pre-enrollment required. Customers can scan a QR code, verify their identity, and reset their passwords or MFA devices on their own. Nametag's mobile SDK lets organisations build custom, secure step-up authentication flows directly inside their own mobile app. Step-up is available as an External Authentication Method for Okta, Microsoft Entra, and Cloudflare, and can be embedded directly into ServiceNow and Zendesk support workflows.[1][5][6][10][11]
Recruit verifies a candidate's identity at application, interview, and offer stages. Recruit integrates natively with Workday Recruiting and Greenhouse. In Workday, verification triggers automatically as a candidate advances stages. Nametag writes a pass or fail decision back to the candidate record. Nametag lets organisations control what information is collected, where it is stored, and how long it is retained. Recruit and Onboard together cover the full Hire solution.[7]
Nametag verifies the identity of the human behind an AI agent action before that action executes. When an AI agent attempts a sensitive task, Nametag confirms a specific verified person authorized it, and creates a cryptographic record of that authorization at that moment. Agentic AI is currently integrated with Okta, which enforces authentication policies requiring Nametag verification in defined AI scenarios. Nametag can be set up as an Identity Provider in Okta, with Okta policies that require Nametag as the authentication factor. Nametag adds a verification layer at the moment an AI agent takes a sensitive action, while the identity provider still manages accounts and access policies.[12]
Nametag integrations create a persistent verified identity across identity providers, IT service management platforms, HR systems and other critical infrastructure. Nametag offers user flows and e-ID support for financial services users. Nametag complies with SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA. Nametag has a dedicated Incident Response Team that monitors, identifies, and responds to security incidents 24/7. Nametag's service is hosted on infrastructure operated by third-party cloud providers. Nametag encrypts data both at rest and in transit. A Nametag co-founder spent 14 years at Microsoft in senior leadership roles around the world before co-founding the company.[1][2][3][4][5][7][10][11][12][13]
