Why partner with 1Kosmos?

Close the trust gap in your customers' identity stack.

In many enterprises, identity is verified at onboarding, then credentials and MFA carry the trust decision forward. Risk returns when someone recovers an account, calls the help desk, or approves a high-value transaction, where impersonation can enable fake hires, contractor fraud, and deepfake attacks.

1Kosmos binds authentication to a verified identity, so customers can confirm who is behind each credential when assurance matters most. The platform adds this control to existing identity infrastructure, giving employees, customers, citizens, and AI agents a reusable, passwordless identity across onboarding, access, recovery, and step-up verification.

Key capabilities 

Verified identity and passwordless authentication on one platform 

1Kosmos combines identity verification (IDV) and passwordless authentication in a single trust platform, organized around KYC (know your customer), KYE (know your employee), and KYA (know your agent). A user proves their identity once and reuses it across onboarding, login, account recovery, and high-risk transaction step-up. 

Identity verification

Document and biometric proofing with liveness detection, certified to NIST 800-63-3 IAL2, with IAL3 step-up.

Passwordless authentication

LiveID, 1Key, and FIDO2 sign-in built on the same verified identity, with support for legacy MFA, PIV, and RADIUS.

Reusable identity wallet

A cryptographically protected, user-controlled wallet. No PII is stored, and every use requires the user's consent.

Employees, customers, citizens, and AI agents

One platform for KYE, KYC, and KYA use cases, from pre-hire verification to AI agent authorization.

Certified and trusted

FedRAMP High, DoD IL4/IL5, NIST 800-63-3 AAL2/IAL2, iBeta PAD Level 2, FIDO2, and SOC 2 Type 2.

Proven at scale

More than 10 million identity verifications and 2 billion authentications processed each year.
