Help your organisation authenticate users with face, fingerprint and iris verification — without creating biometric databases, increasing privacy risk, or expanding your compliance obligations.
Traditional biometric systems give you strong authentication — but only by collecting and retaining data that can never be reset if it leaks. That trade-off creates three problems every security and compliance team eventually has to answer for.
Biometric databases become high-value breach targets. A leaked face or fingerprint can never be changed — the exposure is permanent.
Sensitive biometric records increase governance obligations under GDPR, BIPA, CCPA and similar frameworks — more to classify, secure, disclose and delete.
People are increasingly uncomfortable with permanent biometric storage — and slower to adopt services that demand it.
Facenition removes all three.
FaceID, Okta, Microsoft, Entrust and traditional biometric platforms all rely on collecting or storing biometric data somewhere. Facenition is the only approach that delivers biometric-grade encryption while holding no biometrics at all.
Verifies identity using face, fingerprint and iris
Stores no biometric data — ever
User-controlled identity tokens
Revocable, rotatable and expirable
Portable across organisations and vendors
Dramatically reduced privacy exposure
Biometric-grade assurance, with nothing for an attacker to steal.
Facenition fits into your existing identity flow and feels familiar to your users — while removing the liability you'd normally carry. Four steps, no biometric database.
The user creates a privacy-preserving identity token from a face, fingerprint or iris reading. The biometric itself is never stored.
Your organisation keeps a revocable identity token instead of biometrics. There's no biometric database to secure, govern or worry about.
On return, a live reading regenerates the token on the user's device and matches it against the one on file — fast, strong authentication with no stored biometrics.
Tokens can be rotated, expired or revoked instantly — something a leaked biometric can never be.
Wherever an organisation needs to confirm who someone is — and would rather not hold their biometrics to do it — Facenition fits cleanly into the flow.
Citizen identity and digital services — verify people with confidence while collecting far less sensitive data to secure and answer for.
Accurate patient verification without ever building a biometric database of the people you care for.
Customer onboarding and fraud prevention with strong identity assurance and far less privacy risk on your balance sheet.
Physical and digital access control without enrolling employees into a biometric record you then have to protect.
Other applications include SaaS platforms, digital identity ecosystems, compliance and audit workflows, and cross-organisation verification.
Passwords are weak and resettable. Traditional biometric systems are strong but store data that can never be reset. Here's how Facenition compares on the criteria buyers use to justify the decision internally.
| Passwords | Traditional biometric systems | Facenition | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stores biometric data | n/a | Yes — indefinitely | Never |
| Breach liability | Resettable | Permanent & irreversible | Nothing to expose |
| Right to deletion | Straightforward | Complex — biometrics persist | No biometric to delete |
| Biometric lifecycle management | n/a | Required & ongoing | None needed |
| Compliance burden | Moderate | Heavy | Minimised |
| Cross-platform portability | — | — | ✓ |
| User ownership of identity | — | — | ✓ |
| Revocation capability | Reset | — | ✓ |
| Vendor independence | Partial | — | ✓ |
| Privacy-first design | — | — | ✓ |
Most identity systems put the platform — or the government — in charge of who you are. Facenition flips that. Because identity tokens are generated on demand and never tied to a stored biometric, the person decides how their identity is created, separated, shared and switched off. This is the difference between being verified and being owned.
People can generate as many identity tokens as they need — one per service, or one per purpose — all from the same person, none linkable back to a biometric.
Keep identities for different organisations cleanly separated, so a token used with one vendor reveals nothing about activity with another.
Set tokens to expire after a defined period, so access naturally winds down instead of lingering indefinitely.
Revoke a token instantly, anywhere it's been issued — cutting off access without re-enrolment or touching a biometric.
Identity isn't trapped inside one provider. Tokens work across vendors and systems, so users are never locked in.
The person — not the platform — decides what their identity is used for. Privacy becomes a default, not a setting buried in a policy.
Facenition is designed to slot into the systems you already run, so you can add privacy-first verification without rebuilding your identity stack.
