WASHINGTON and ATLANTA, Aug. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- LexisNexis® Risk Solutions Risk Defense Platform service has been approved by Kantara Initiative as a Component Service, in compliance with the requirements of NIST SP 800-63 rev.3 (Technical) Class of Approval, at Identity Assurance Level 2 (IAL2).

The Risk Defense Platform (RDP) is a risk-based tool that performs identification services and defends against fraud threats to support client systems with onboarding and authentication.
RDP provides client credential service providers (CSPs) with a single integration point to the RDP tool and allows those clients to implement and modify risk-based fraud management strategies based on their business policies or changing market conditions. RDP supports device binding, document authentication with portrait match and liveness check, verification, phone matching with an authoritative source and one-time passcodes (OTPs).
"Throughout the current pandemic, imposter fraud and attacks at scale on our government's online systems have become an epidemic of its own," said Haywood Talcove, CEO Government, LexisNexis Risk Solutions. "Providing equitable digital identity solutions with the proper level of friction is a key factor to stop fraud in its tracks, to support the confident distribution of benefits, and to provide government agencies and private sector companies alike the power to ensure the overall integrity of their programs. This important certification from the Kantara Initiative provides further validation of our Risk Defense Platform decisioning engine and its power to prevent fraud across a whole spectrum of government and private sector programs."
"We congratulate LexisNexis on their grant of Kantara Trust Mark as an Approved Component Service operating at IAL2. We look forward to their continued leadership in the identity space and contribution in reducing friction and fraud.
