ROC Extends Global Presence with MOSIP-Compliant Multimodal Biometrics

Published Date : 7/31/2025 

US-based ROC, a leader in multimodal biometrics, announces its ROC ABIS and ROC SDK products are now MOSIP-compliant, expanding their reach to developing nations and enhancing digital identity systems. 

US-based ROC, a leading firm in multimodal biometrics, has announced that its ROC ABIS and ROC SDK products have successfully completed compliance evaluation with MOSIP (Modular Open-Source Identity Platform) and are now available on its marketplace. MOSIP is an open-standards digital identity platform designed to help countries build and customize national ID systems.

MOSIP operates as a nonprofit, providing a global ecosystem of integrated, compliant software solutions. It is formally engaged with 26 countries, including Morocco and the Philippines, which are at various stages of national rollout. This engagement underscores MOSIP's commitment to fostering open, inclusive digital identity systems globally.

Blake Moore, COO of ROC, emphasized the significance of this partnership: “With ROC joining MOSIP, we are playing an important role in expanding biometric solutions for developing nations, providing further agility into how foundational ID systems can be implemented.” He added, “We are passionate about delivering next-gen biometric and digital credential technologies that meet the evolving needs of global governments, particularly in developing nations where MOSIP is making a significant impact.”

Sanjith Sundaram, head of Partner Ecosystem at MOSIP, echoed this sentiment, noting that ROC’s compliance reflects significant progress toward their shared goal. “We trust that their relevant work and expertise in the field can support countries adopting MOSIP in meaningful ways,” he added.

ROC ABIS is the company’s Automated Biometric Identity System, an agile, cost-effective U.S.-made solution optimized for speed, scale, and mission flexibility. Its algorithms and modular architecture are built for interoperability across multiple biometric modalities, including face and fingerprint biometric matching, latent fingerprint identification, iris recognition, and tattoo recognition.

Compliant with global standards such as FISWG, ANSI, OSAC, and now MOSIP, ROC ABIS performs efficiently in various biometric matching tasks. The lightweight algorithms used by ROC help reduce system complexity, hardware requirements, and cloud computing costs, lowering the total cost of ownership and making digital identity solutions more accessible for emerging economies.

B. Scott Swann, CEO of ROC, highlighted the company’s commitment to revolutionizing digital identity: “MOSIP is revolutionizing the way nations approach digital identity, and we are too. By integrating ROC ABIS and ROC SDK with the MOSIP platform, we are empowering developing countries to establish secure, scalable, and cost-effective identity solutions that can drive economic and social progress.”

ROC provides multimodal biometrics and Vision AI to the U.S. military, law enforcement, and global fintech companies. Its NIST-ranked face, fingerprint, and iris algorithms enable verification across various applications, including digital payments, national ID programs, ABIS deployments, tactical video analytics, and access control.

This partnership marks a significant step forward in ROC’s mission to provide advanced biometric solutions that support the development and enhancement of digital identity systems worldwide, particularly in the Global South.
