Regula’s innovative in-house technology powers fast, seamless identity checks—now recognized by KuppingerCole Analysts.

Specializing in IDV and cybersecurity industry analysis, KuppingerCole forecasts that the global IDV market will grow from $18.4 billion in 2025 to $50.07 billion by 2030, driven by increasing identity fraud, compliance requirements, user expectations, and technological advancements.

As identity verification rapidly shifts toward fully remote and automated environments, innovation has become a key differentiator. According to KuppingerCole, innovation leaders in IDV are defined by taking a customer-oriented upgrade approach, delivering customer-requested and forward-thinking features, while ensuring seamless compatibility with existing systems.

Positioning Regula in the Innovation Leaders category, KuppingerCole analysts highlight: “Regula’s products are mature and often used to supplement other identity verification vendors’ offerings. While not as feature complete as other offerings, Regula is a best-of-breed document and biometric verification solution with strong global coverage. With expertise across diverse industries and a global reach, Regula is positioned as a verification provider with in-house expertise for adaptable and scalable solutions.”

In their Leadership Compass, KuppingerCole analysts pay special attention to the fact that IDV vendors have in-house technology development, strong data privacy policies, wide geographical coverage for their ID databases, and automation and machine learning (ML) to facilitate processes and user experience. On these fronts, Regula stands out by:

Best-of-breed on-premises document and biometric verification solution.
Comprehensive ID template database made of 15,000+ templates from 252 countries and territories.
In-house R&D capabilities with significant domain-specific expertise.
Advanced liveness detection technology supporting enhanced security.
A mature organization with products often used to supplement other IDV vendor offerings.

At the heart of Regula’s recognition are its flagship software products, which serve clients in finance, government, healthcare, education, aviation, and more. Regula Document Reader SDK provides automated reading and comprehensive verification of all types of identity documents. It reads data in all document zones, verifies security features—including dynamic ones such as holograms—and cross-checks all the data to spot forgery.

For biometric checks, Regula Face SDK enables real-time face matching, image quality assessment, and both passive and active liveness detection—the latter tested and certified under iBeta’s Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) Level 1 and 2. The solution supports 1:1 face matching and 1:n face identification with advanced spoof detection via texture and movement analysis, using both 2D and 3D methods.

Importantly, Regula’s solutions are designed for privacy-first deployments. All biometric templates are managed locally by the customer, with no data processed or stored by Regula. The face-matching algorithms undergo continuous testing and are benchmarked through programs like the NIST Face Recognition Vendor Test (FRVT).

“Being named an Innovation Leader by KuppingerCole is a significant milestone for us. It highlights our decades-long commitment to building all our solutions in-house, from document verification to biometrics, and doing so with the precision and trustworthiness that customers demand. As identity verification principles and standards rapidly evolve, our focus remains the same: delivering technology that’s not only robust but also deeply practical, scalable, and privacy-conscious,” says Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula.

Recently, Regula has:

Introduced personal data masking across all its solutions.
Become the first IDV vendor that enables verification of all dynamic security features in IDs in remote scenarios.
Made its software compatible with most ID readers on the market.
