IDnow launches IDnow Trust Platform as Europe enters a new phase of digital identity

Published

on

The IDnow Trust Platform helps organisations orchestrate identity, fraud and compliance across the full customer lifecycle. It is built for where digital identity is going, not just where it is.

MUNICH, June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Europe’s digital identity market is entering its most significant transformations in a decade. New regulations, digital identity wallets and increasingly sophisticated AI-driven fraud are challenging assumptions that have shaped the digital identity market for more than a decade.

Reflecting this shift, IDnow today announces the launch of the IDnow Trust Platform, marking the company’s expansion beyond traditional identity verification. The platform is designed to help regulated organisations orchestrate verification, fraud prevention, biometric authentication and qualified digital trust services across the customer lifecycle.

“The identity industry is entering its biggest transformation since onboarding first went digital,” said Andreas Bodczek, CEO of IDnow. “For years, organisations treated identity verification as a one-time event at the start of a customer relationship. That model is no longer sufficient. We are moving from a world centred on one-time verification to one centred on continuous trust.”

Several developments are driving this shift. AMLR will introduce a harmonised anti-money laundering framework across the European Union from July 2027, while regulated businesses will be required to accept EU Digital Identity Wallets from November 2027. At the same time, advances in generative AI are making identity-related fraud more sophisticated and easier to scale. Consumers also increasingly expect digital onboarding and authentication processes to be fast, seamless and secure.

Historically, identity verification focused primarily on onboarding. Today, organisations need to establish and maintain trust long after the initial verification has taken place.

From KYC to TYC

The IDnow Trust Platform is designed to move businesses beyond Know Your Customer (KYC) to Trust Your Customer (TYC). Through four modular services – Identify, Authenticate, Protect and Trust – the platform delivers continuous, evidence-based trust across the full customer lifecycle.

Its Orchestrate, Observe and Decide capabilities enable organisations to configure workflows, monitor risk signals in real time and automate decisions without involving the engineering team when regulation shifts or fraud patterns change.

Complexity Is Coming. We Built the Answer.

IDnow is at the forefront of Europe’s EUDI Wallet rollout – already operational in key markets and ready to accept wallet presentations from citizens across all 27 Member States ahead of the November 2027 mandate. But while the arrival of EU Digital Identity Wallets marks a landmark moment for European digital identity, it is often misread as a simplification of compliance. It isn’t. Wallets represent one powerful new input into an increasingly complex compliance picture, not a replacement for everything that came before.

Organisations will simultaneously need to accept and integrate multiple wallet standards and eID schemes, each evolving under a shifting regulatory framework, while continuing to strengthen classical document-based identity verification for the significant proportion of users and scenarios wallets do not yet cover. The result is not a simpler onboarding landscape. It is a considerably more complex one. This is precisely the problem the IDnow Trust Platform is built to solve. Rather than forcing organisations to manage this complexity themselves, across multiple vendors, integration layers and constantly changing regulatory requirements, the Trust Platform abstracts it into a single, orchestrated infrastructure. IDnow has secured the certificates required to accept wallet presentations across key markets, including the German Berechtigungszertifikat, and combines wallet capabilities with in-house Qualified Trust Services and Qualified Electronic Attestations of Attributes (QEAA) to address the gaps that wallet identity data alone cannot fill. Organisations using the IDnow Trust Platform can navigate this complexity without it becoming a barrier to growth – staying compliant, preventing fraud, and continuing to serve customers efficiently as the regulatory landscape evolves beneath them.

“The wallet gets you through the door, the IDnow Trust Platform gets you through compliance,” said Jonas Mendes, Director of Product at IDnow. “For years, organisations could build an onboarding process and leave it largely unchanged. That is no longer the world we live in. Fraud evolves faster, regulations evolve faster and new identity methods are emerging. The real challenge is being able to adapt without needing your development teams to adjust customer journeys every time something changes.”

The IDnow Trust Platform is available now. Regulated organisations across financial services, fintech, crypto, insurance, telecommunications and gaming can integrate via a single API and access the full capabilities of the platform today.

Seclore Launches ARMOR DSPM to Secure the Data Behind AI – Delivering Value in Hours, Not Months

Published

New capability combines contextual data discovery, risk prioritization, and remediation to help organizations strengthen AI governance and data protection

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Seclore, the Data Security Intelligence company, today announced the general availability of ARMOR DSPM, a new capability within the ARMOR platform designed to help organizations discover, understand, and protect sensitive data across enterprise and AI environments.

As enterprises accelerate AI adoption, security leaders face a growing challenge: understanding what sensitive data exists across the organization, where it resides, who has access to it, and whether it is adequately protected before it is consumed by AI systems. Without that visibility, organizations risk exposing intellectual property, regulated information, and other business-critical data.

While many Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) solutions focus primarily on discovering sensitive data, organizations often struggle to determine which findings pose the greatest risk, how those risks impact the business, and what actions should be taken next. ARMOR DSPM was built to address this gap by combining data discovery with contextual intelligence and remediation-driven outcomes.

At the core of ARMOR DSPM is Seclore’s Semantic Triad approach, which evaluates data through three dimensions: Content, Context, and Intent. Rather than relying solely on pattern matching or predefined rules, ARMOR DSPM seeks to understand what the data is, why it matters to the business, and how it is intended to be used. Unlike regex and pattern-matching DSPMs that simply see a string of characters, ARMOR DSPM understands what the data means to the business. That context cuts the false positives that erode analyst trust and lets security teams prioritize the exposures that pose real business risk. This enables organizations to more accurately identify sensitive assets such as intellectual property, source code, trade secrets, regulated records, and data used by AI systems.

ARMOR DSPM begins discovery and classification as soon as repositories are connected, helping organizations gain visibility into sensitive data without lengthy model training, extensive tuning cycles, or manual rule creation. The solution automatically prioritizes findings based on business risk, enabling security teams to focus on the exposures that matter most.

“Every organization is racing to put AI to work on its data. What they’ll learn quickly is that an AI agent is only as safe as the context around the data it touches,” said Dr. Vishal Gauri, CEO of Seclore. “We built ARMOR DSPM to define that context, ownership, and intent at the source. That is what turns DSPM into the foundation for agentic AI adoption, where data governs how it can be used no matter who – human or agent – picks it up.”

Designed to support AI-ready security programs, ARMOR DSPM helps organizations identify and classify sensitive data before it is accessed by AI applications, copilots, agents, and enterprise AI workflows. By providing a clearer understanding of data risk and ownership, it enables organizations to strengthen governance while accelerating responsible AI adoption.

ARMOR DSPM is also designed to move organizations beyond discovery to action. Findings can be integrated into existing security, privacy, and compliance workflows or extended into the broader ARMOR platform, where data intelligence can drive automated classification, protection, monitoring, and audit readiness. This helps organizations ensure that sensitive data remains protected throughout its lifecycle, regardless of where it is stored, shared, or used.

The solution runs within a dedicated cloud environment, with no external API calls, no data passed to third-party LLMs, and no sensitive data retained. ARMOR DSPM is currently deployable on AWS and GCP, with more hyperscalers on the roadmap, supporting organizations operating under data sovereignty and data localization mandates across 34+ countries.

The launch of ARMOR DSPM further advances Seclore’s vision of Data Security Intelligence, helping organizations gain continuous visibility into their sensitive data, understand associated risks, and take informed action as information moves across users, applications, cloud platforms, and AI systems.

About Seclore 

Seclore is the Data Security Intelligence company for the era of enterprise AI, helping organizations turn data and AI risk into readiness.
