ROC's Multimodal Biometrics Now MOSIP Compliant for Global Reach

Published Date : 7/31/2025 

US-based ROC, a leading provider of multimodal biometric solutions, announces its ROC ABIS and ROC SDK products have achieved compliance with MOSIP, the Modular Open-Source Identity Platform. This milestone enables ROC to support developing nations in building secure and cost-effective national ID systems. 

US-based ROC, a leading provider of multimodal biometric solutions, has announced that its ROC ABIS and ROC SDK products have successfully completed compliance evaluation with MOSIP, the Modular Open-Source Identity Platform. These products have now been added to the MOSIP marketplace, which is a platform for national digital ID technologies.

MOSIP is an open-standards digital identity platform designed to help countries build and customize national ID systems. As a nonprofit organization, MOSIP provides a global ecosystem of integrated, compliant software solutions. It is formally engaged with 26 countries, with 11 of them, ranging from Morocco to the Philippines, at various stages of national rollout.

Blake Moore, COO of ROC, commented, “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.” Moore further 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 of fostering open, inclusive digital identity systems. “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. It is compliant with global standards including FISWG, ANSI, OSAC, and now MOSIP. ROC ABIS excels in face and fingerprint biometric matching, latent fingerprint identification, iris recognition, and tattoo recognition.

ROC’s lightweight algorithms 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. According to the company, this approach is crucial for driving economic and social progress in these regions.

B. Scott Swann, CEO of ROC, stated, “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 integration with MOSIP marks a significant step in ROC’s mission to support global digital identity initiatives, particularly in developing nations.
