Oz Forensics launches transparency tool to build biometric liveness detection trust

A new Trust Center created by Oz Forensics aims to raise the bar for transparency in face biometrics and liveness detection.

“The Trust Center exists to answer the question every serious buyer eventually asks: ‘Can we actually trust this?’ — and different stakeholders ask it differently,” a representative of Oz Forensics wrote in an email to Biometric Update. “Technical teams want proof it works. Legal wants proof it’s compliant. Procurement wants proof it’s been vetted. Privacy officers want assurance that biometric data is handled responsibly and in accordance with applicable requirements. The fact that all four conversations consistently lead back to the same place says something about how the Trust Center is built — and about where the real friction in buying a liveness solution tends to live.”

The Trust Center lists Oz’s certifications and international standard compliance evaluations, including biometric Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) and Injection Attack Detection (IAD) assessments by iBeta and BixeLab. Oz achieved ISO 27001:2022 certification in December.

The Trust Center also details Oz’ security measures and policies, privacy and data protection practices and provides controlled access to documentation on request. It includes information on clients, company training and the subprocessors the company is partnered with.

The client list shows Oz Forensics’ liveness is battle-tested and compliance ready, with enterprise deployments across banks, fintechs and government-adjacent bodies, with depth in high-growth emerging markets and a broad geographic footprint, according to the company spokesperson.

The Trust Center will be updated continuously, the Oz representative told Biometric Update.

“Certifications and audit reports follow their own renewal cycles, so those sections update annually by default. Everything else — new test results, policy changes, security posture updates — goes in as it happens.”

A built-in notification layer will also inform people who have accessed a particular resource when something meaningful changes.

“That shift from passive document repository to active communication channel is what we think ‘ongoing transparency’ actually means in practice,” Oz’ spokesperson says.
