BEYOND THE DOCUMENTS

Identity Integrity is the new firewall

Distributed workforces, remote hiring, and AI-enabled fraud have made one question — is this person real? — among the most consequential an organization can ask. And one of the hardest to answer.

Traditional identity verification checks whether a document is legitimate. Background checks confirm records against databases. But neither answers the deeper question: does this person's information hold up when cross-referenced across truly independent sources?

That gap is growing fast:

25%

of candidate profiles will be fake by 2030

13%

of job seekers have used GenAI live, during an interview

Synthetic identities, AI-generated credentials, and nation-state infiltration schemes are getting past document-based checks — because the documents may be real. It's the person behind them who isn't.

And it's not only a hiring problem. When a DPRK-related infiltration surfaces, when an insider investigation raises questions about an employee, or when a security event demands assurance across sensitive roles, the same question applies.

BEHIND THE ASSESSMENT

How Identity Integrity works

Identity Integrity is a client-led, on-demand assessment in the Ascend platform. It cross-references an individual's provided information against multiple independent sources — breach data, investigation databases, official public records, and digital footprint analysis — to assess whether the person behind the documents is consistent, traceable, and real.

Step 01

Submit existing information

Run an assessment using information your team already has. Nothing is required from the individual. No awkward selfies, document uploads, or additional steps to complete.

Step 02

We cross-reference

Identity Integrity checks that information against breach data, investigation databases, public records, and digital footprints to surface identity inconsistencies and potential risk signals.

Step 03

Review your report

Receive an Identity Integrity Report in minutes, with an overall identity discrepancy level, specific signals, and supporting evidence to guide further investigation or escalation.

Identity Integrity surfaces risk signals and flagged inconsistencies. It does not make or recommend hiring, rejection, or access decisions. It is not a background check, and it is not a consumer report — and it doesn't replace either. We provide the confidence; you provide the judgment.

BUILT FOR YOUR TEAM

Identity assurance for hiring and security teams

For People & Talent Acquisition teams

Your hiring process can't keep up with the sophistication of today's fraud.

Bots apply seconds after a job is posted. Synthetic identities and AI-inflated resumes are getting past traditional background checks. And once a fake candidate is inside, the damage is done.

Identity Integrity corroborates a candidate's identity early in the hiring process — before you've invested in interviews and onboarding. It flags potential synthetic identities, employment discrepancies, and indicators of fabrication, so your team can triage and focus deeper scrutiny where it's warranted.

Why it matters for your team:

  • Reduce time wasted on candidates who don't hold up under scrutiny — interview and hire people who are who they claim to be.
  • Fits your workflow. API-enabled for your ATS — no second system to adopt.
  • Simple, clear output a non-technical reviewer can act on: a risk level, the signals behind it, and the evidence.
  • Decisions remain yours. Identity Integrity provides risk signals to inform your process. It does not make or recommend hiring decisions, and it is not a background check or a consumer report.

Zero friction for your candidates — and your recruiters. Identity Integrity works entirely from information you already collect — no selfie, no upload, no extra step, no drop-off. It runs quietly in the background of your existing process, so your team gets answers without adding work.

A DEEPER LOOK

Why Identity Integrity is different

Corroboration, not document verification.

Most identity verification checks whether a document is real against government databases. Documents can be forged or stolen. Identity Integrity takes a fundamentally different approach — cross-referencing the person's provided information across breach data, digital footprint, investigation databases, and professional platforms to assess whether the person behind the documents is consistent, traceable, and real.

Unlike documents, breach history and long-established digital records can't be fabricated retroactively, which makes this corroboration fundamentally harder to defeat. It's not a replacement for existing verification — it's the layer that catches what document checks miss.

Breach data as a corroboration signal.

Breaches are so commonplace that an experienced professional who doesn't appear in any breach data can itself be an indicator of a synthetic or recently fabricated identity. Identity Integrity uses this counter-intuitive insight to surface risk that no traditional check would flag.

Seamless escalation to analyst-led depth.

Most identity checks leave you with a flag and nowhere to go. When Identity Integrity surfaces significant or critical concerns, you can escalate straight into a deeper investigation with our Employment Shield analyst team — the intelligence is already structured and ready to hand off.

Speed and scale, priced for volume.

Run a report in minutes, on demand, for any individual. No analyst scheduling, no multi-day turnaround, no per-engagement scoping. API-enabled for integration into existing ATS, HRIS, or security workflows.

Zero friction for the individual.

Works entirely from information you already have — name, email, phone, address, resume, LinkedIn, GitHub. Nothing is required from the individual, and they don't need to know the check is happening. No drop-off, no added steps, no coordination.

FAQ

Common Questions

What is Nisos Identity Integrity?

Identity Integrity is an on-demand assessment in the Nisos Ascend platform that corroborates whether an individual is who they claim to be. It cross-references a person's provided information against multiple independent sources, including breach data, digital footprint, investigation databases, and professional platforms, to assess whether the person behind the documents is consistent, traceable, and real. It surfaces inconsistencies, gaps, and risk signals so your team can decide where to focus, before you make a critical hiring or workforce decision.

How does Identity Integrity differ from identity verification?

Most identity verification checks whether a document is legitimate. Identity Integrity takes a different approach: it corroborates the person behind the document. Traditional identity verification and background checks confirm that a document or record is real, but a real document can be forged, stolen, or attached to a synthetic identity. Identity Integrity cross-references an individual's information across independent sources to assess whether the person is consistent, traceable, and authentic. Because breach history and long-established digital records can't be fabricated retroactively, this corroboration is fundamentally harder to defeat. It's the layer that catches what document verification misses.

What information is needed to run an assessment?

Only information your team already has from the application and resume, such as name, email, phone, address, and professional profiles like LinkedIn or GitHub. Nothing is required from the individual: no selfie, no document upload, no additional steps. Your team runs the report using information already collected during the hiring process or available in existing systems, so there's no drop-off and no added work.

What does an Identity Integrity Report include?

An Identity Integrity Report includes an overall discrepancy level, the specific signals behind it, and the underlying evidence — delivered in minutes. It surfaces inconsistencies, gaps, and information that cannot be corroborated, so your team can make prioritized decisions about whether to proceed, investigate further, or escalate to a deeper, analyst-led investigation. The report provides discrepancy signals to inform your decision-making; it does not make or recommend hiring, rejection, or access decisions

Does Identity Integrity replace a background check?

No. Identity Integrity is not a background check and does not replace one. A background check confirms records and documents against databases. Identity Integrity corroborates whether the person behind those documents is consistent, traceable, and real, by cross-referencing their information across independent sources. It works as an additional layer alongside your existing checks, catching what document verification can miss. Identity Integrity is not a consumer report, and it provides discrepancy signals to inform your own decisions rather than making them.

How does Identity Integrity support workforce security?

Identity Integrity is an identity assurance capability that applies across the workforce lifecycle — not just at hire. When behavioral monitoring or an investigation raises questions about an existing employee, an Identity Integrity report applies an additional lens — identity signals alongside behavioral signals — to help determine whether further review is warranted, in minutes rather than days. Following a security event, such as a discovered infiltration attempt, it can be deployed via API across sensitive roles or broader populations to surface inconsistencies that warrant further review. It complements insider threat monitoring: an individual flagged by ongoing behavioral monitoring can be corroborated with a rapid identity assessment, and a person assessed during hiring can be enrolled in monitoring during the highest-risk phase of employment. When a report surfaces significant or critical concerns, your team can act on the findings, run its own investigation, or escalate to a deeper, analyst-led review with Employment Shield.
