Socure Expands Age Verification in RiskOS for Complex Compliance

Published Date : 8/14/2025 

Socure, a leading identity verification company, has expanded its RiskOS platform to include a comprehensive suite of age assurance tools. This move is in response to the growing demand for digital age checks due to new online safety laws in the UK, Europe, Australia, and several U.S. states. 

Age assurance is becoming increasingly crucial in the digital identity landscape as online safety laws are implemented in regions such as the UK, Europe, Australia, and various U.S. states. This has led to a surge in demand for products that support compliant and privacy-preserving digital age checks. Socure, a prominent player in the identity verification industry, has stepped up to the challenge by expanding its RiskOS platform to integrate a full suite of age assurance options.

According to a recent release, the new product offers customizable, no-code, drag-and-drop workflows built on Socure’s RiskOS orchestration platform and proprietary identity graph. The identity graph links billions of real-time signals from known-good and known-bad identities to detect synthetic, manipulated, deepfakes, or stolen data with unmatched precision. The core principle is identity intelligence, which involves analyzing hundreds of available data points, including device intelligence and behavioral biometrics, to populate the identity graph.

Socure’s approach to age assurance requires very little personal information. The company claims a 90 percent success rate in verifying a user’s date of birth with just a simple phone number or email input. However, to cater to the diverse needs of customers, Socure also offers a full spectrum of identity verification tools. These include document IDV checks, biometric validation, and database signals, which are particularly useful for high-risk transactions. Additionally, the platform offers selfie-based facial age estimation (FAE) for scenarios where visual confirmation is necessary without the need for document or identity collection.

The drag-and-drop orchestration feature enables users to tailor verification flows based on geography, risk tolerance, and regulatory thresholds without relying on developers. This is especially important in the U.S., where age verification laws can vary significantly across state lines, creating a complex patchwork of compliance requirements.

As age verification regulations become more fragmented and fast-moving across states and countries, businesses face immense pressure to stay compliant while delivering seamless digital experiences. Johnny Ayers, CEO of Socure, emphasizes the importance of the company’s latest age assurance workflows. “Our latest age assurance workflows are purpose-built to solve this challenge and give organizations immediate access to highly configurable tools to meet diverse legal obligations, maximize accuracy and performance while minimizing friction for legitimate users,” he says.

Rivka Little, Socure’s Chief Growth Officer, agrees. “The new laws around age restrictions underscore the complexity businesses now face in meeting jurisdiction-specific age verification regulations. Our age assurance portfolio offers the flexibility businesses need to scale and adapt quickly, meeting the diverse regulatory requirements while prioritizing user privacy.”

Little recently discussed the shifting regulatory requirements and Socure’s RiskOS age assurance in an interview with the Biometric Update Podcast. The episode will be available soon on the Biometric Update Podcast page.
