What happened
- The article recommends strong remote-capable identity verification, such as NIST IAL2-style checks, before provisioning devices, VPN, or production access for sensitive roles.
Why it matters to Signicat
- Remote candidate identity proofing with document and biometric checks overlaps with Signicat's document identity verification line, so the article raises demand for hiring-stage identity assurance.
- The article is thought leadership with no original data and no named Incode product, so it signals positioning rather than a product or market move.
