Daon selected by British Council for multi-step identity verification across testing

Daon’s Identity Verification and Assurance Technology Selected by British Council to Combat Fraud Across Its Digital Services ↗

What happened

• Daon was selected by the British Council to provide identity verification services across its global testing and digital education portfolio.
• The deployment uses Daon's TrustX platform with xProof identity verification capabilities at registration, test centres and during re-verification.
• The solution combines document verification, facial comparison, liveness detection, and chip reading, with manual review fallback where required.
• The initial rollout will support millions of identity verification and facial authentication transactions over a multi-year term.
• The British Council procurement required certification under the UK Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework (DIATF).

Why it matters to Signicat

• Release names the DIATF certification as a procurement requirement; this signals DIATF as a bidding gate for UK public contracts, relevant to Signicat's UK positioning.
