High Compliance Standards

We go beyond standard practice by achieving certification against the most demanding international security standards, proving our ongoing commitment to protecting information.

ISO/IEC 27001 Certification

We are certified to the latest global security standard: ISO/IEC 27001:2022. This is the highest level of assurance, providing confidence that our entire system for managing information security is secure, effective, and continually audited.

BSI ISO27001 Certificate page 0001

We are Cyber Essentials certified, demonstrating our commitment to protecting our systems against common cyber threats. This certification provides reassurance that our organisation has implemented essential technical controls to safeguard data, reduce risk, and maintain a secure operating environment.

Cyber Essentials Certificate

Being DIATF accredited means that our digital identity services operate in line with the UK Government’s requirements for trusted identity verification, ensuring strong privacy protections, secure processes, and a user-first approach.

DIATF Certificate

Our platform is audited to provide specific identity proofing assurance levels based on GPG45 profiles. We supplement GPG45 requirements with enhanced capabilities, including “2+2” checks (address verification) that are critical for AML purposes in regulated sectors. Our reusable digital ID process is highly secure and multi-layered, using GPG44 compliant authentication.

Biometric Verification: Built for People, Guarded by Tech

At SQR, we use biometric technology to bridge the gap between digital convenience and physical certainty. By confirming that a person is who they say they are, and matching them to their documentation. This allows us to eliminate the primary entry points for impersonation, identity and document fraud.

Our approach is built on three uncompromising pillars:

Pillar 1: Verified Presence

We don’t just scan a face, we ensure a real human is behind the screen. Our biometric verification process uses an intelligent combination of checks, such as smart document capture, facial liveness detection and 1:1 face matching.

  • Liveness Detection: Tested to ISO 30107-3 Level 2 standards prevents fraudsters from using photos, high-definition videos, or masks in their attempts.
  • Authenticity Checks: We assess identity documents to ensure they are genuine and unaltered, utilising NFC chip reading (where supported) to validate biometric passports and identity cards instantly.

Pillar 2: Proven Performance

We believe that trust and confidence is earned through rigorous testing and ongoing monitoring. Our biometric components operate within a secure, encrypted environment with strict access controls, ensuring data is protected both in transit and at rest.

  • High Pass Rates: In live operation, our facial liveness and matching technologies demonstrate consistently high pass rates under normal onboarding conditions.
  • Human-in-the-Loop: For the small percentage of cases where the technical confidence standard is not met yet, profiles are referred for human review, securing accessible and consistent outcomes – still within that secure environment. This ensures accurate and reliable outcomes, proving that high security never comes at the cost.

Pillar 3: Ethical Privacy & Transparency

Your biometric data belongs to you. SQR operates on a “verification, not surveillance” model, providing clear, accessible information so users and organisations understand exactly how their data is handled.

  • Sole-Purpose Use: Facial biometric data is used only for liveness checks and face matching. It is never checked against multiple records or used to identify individuals across unrelated services.
  • No AI Training: We do not use biometric data to train artificial intelligence or neural network models, and data is never used for research or profiling.
  • Secure Retention: Data is stored securely and retained only for as long as necessary to support verification and regulatory requirements, in line with SQR’s strict data retention policies.

We understand the depth of technical due diligence required for secure onboarding. SQR maintains a comprehensive library of technical, security, and compliance documentation to support risk and assurance processes, which is available to prospective partners on request.
