Ditto has been named a Product Leader
KuppingerCole Analysts · Leadership Compass — Identity Verification 2026
Independent analysis of Ditto Verify, assessed against 25 other identity verification vendors.
KuppingerCole Analysts named Ditto a Product Leader in its evaluation of the identity verification market.
The analysis highlights two things that set Ditto apart: a no-code orchestration layer that makes verification easier to manage, and the ability to bind verified identities to high-assurance authentication. So verification doesn’t stop at onboarding. The identity you’ve proven stays useful long after it.

An independent view of a market that is hard to compare
Identity verification shouldn’t be hard to compare. But from the outside, it often is. Vendors describe similar capabilities, accuracy figures aren’t always measured on the same basis, and the details that matter most in production rarely make it into a datasheet. What happens when verification fails? How does the journey adapt? What can a fraud team actually see and act on?
The Leadership Compass — Identity Verification 2026 cuts through the noise. It evaluates 26 vendors against a consistent set of criteria, spanning document and biometric verification, additional verification methods, automation and machine learning, privacy, orchestration, deployment, interoperability, security, and usability.
Guillaume Teixeron, Senior Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, introduces the report and the market it assesses.
Where Ditto sits
KuppingerCole Analysts recognises Ditto Verify as a full-service identity verification solution — document verification, biometrics and liveness detection, KYC and AML screening, device and behavioural signals, no-code orchestration — and for doing something most don’t: binding the verified identity to high-assurance authentication.
That binding is the point. Verification and authentication solve two different problems. Verification proves who someone is. Authentication proves it’s still them.
Keep them separate and the assurance you establish at onboarding evaporates the moment a customer logs back in, switches device, or needs to recover their account.
Ditto holds the two together. Identity assurance doesn’t stop at onboarding. It carries through every interaction that follows.
“Ditto is recognized for a full-service offering that combines document verification, face biometrics and liveness, attribute verification, and no-code workflow orchestration, and stands out for deployment flexibility, spanning on-premises to managed cloud, and for binding verification to high-assurance authentication.”

Strong on orchestration, privacy and deployment
The report rates every vendor across ten capability areas. Ditto scores highly on privacy, automation and machine learning, interoperability, additional verification methods and security, with orchestration and deployment close behind.
Ditto builds a layer around the capabilities that turns verification into assurance that lasts.
What KuppingerCole Analysts highlighted
Deployment that fits a regulator, not just a demo
On-premises software, vendor-managed cloud, or a managed service run by Ditto or a partner. Single or multi-tenant. Data residency pinnable to a region, with customer-managed keys and HSM support.
Ditto holds ISO/IEC 27001 certification and SOC 2 Type 2 attestation across all five Trust Services Criteria.
A verification that stays useful
Bind a completed verification to Ditto’s split-key multi-factor authentication (MFA) and to passkeys, and the same proof carries into account recovery, re-enrolment, step-up and high-risk transaction signing. No rebuilding assurance from scratch every time the customer comes back.
Journeys that change without an engineering cycle
Drag, drop, ship. A no-code journey designer with 100+ KYC and journey templates, conditional logic, and risk-aware routing that reads document, device and identity risk. When a journey hits trouble, it can re-prompt for capture, switch routes, step up to active liveness, or hand off to manual adjudication.
Integration that shortens the build
REST and webhooks with API specs, a developer portal, and SDKs for iOS, Android, React Native, Cordova, Flutter, Xamarin, Java and C/C++. The journey builder outputs a mobile application scaffold, not just an API result — so the app comes with the journey.
It connects into what you already run: Microsoft Entra and Active Directory, core banking platforms including Temenos and Infosys Finacle, and SIEM tooling including Splunk and Microsoft Sentinel.
