In accordance with the stringent ISO/IEC review process, A-LIGN, a certification body accredited by the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) found that SheerID has implemented all necessary technical controls and formalized privacy policies and procedures. This audit confirmed that SheerID adheres to applicable privacy requirements, providing assurances to its customers and signaling trustworthiness to the public. In conjunction with this review, the third-party auditor also performed a surveillance audit to confirm the ISMS continues to operate as specified and intended, allowing SheerID to maintain its ISO/IEC 27001 certification.

The certification applies to all organizational functions involved in the development, maintenance and operations of SheerID’s Identity Marketing platform, verification services, and systems.
