Online Identity Verification ARGOS and The Whisper Company
ARGOS Identity, a leading provider of digital identity solutions, has initiated a strategic collaboration with The Whisper Company, an innovative start-up focused on persistent user authentication. First connected at Identity Week Americas, both companies discovered strong alignment in their missions to strengthen digital trust and security across platforms. This partnership includes discussions on integrating Whisper’s technology into the ID check service in the future, expanding user authentication from a one-time process to a continuous one.
Why Persistent User Authentication Matters - Why eKYC solution is needed
In today's increasingly digitized world, one time identity verification at onboarding is no longer sufficient. Fraudsters and account takeovers are becoming more sophisticated, targeting not only sign up points but also active user sessions. Platforms need to ensure that they’re interacting with the right person at every point, not just at login.
This is where The Whisper Company’s persistent user authentication comes into play. Their technology enables platforms to continuously verify user identity in the background, reducing risk without sacrificing user experience. This approach is particularly relevant to industries dealing with high value data, transactions, or sensitive information like fintech, healthcare, and remote work platforms.
The Opportunity for Global identity verification ARGOS
ARGOS Identity’s flagship solution, ID check, is already redefining the identity verification space with:
1-Day Integration: Clients can go live within 24 hours
300% Operational Efficiency Boost: Through automation and streamlined workflows
Policy Customization: Authentication flows can be tailored to different user segments and compliance needs
Advanced Security: AI-powered face recognition, document detection, and GDPR-compliant encryption
By combining The Whisper Company’s continuous verification layer with ARGOS ID check, platforms can cover the entire identity lifecycle from onboarding to session level trust. This synergy paves the way for continuous KYC (Know Your Customer) solutions, meeting evolving regulatory demands and improving platform integrity.
A Future Ready Partnership
This partnership reflects a shared vision: building a future where identity assurance is not a one-time event, but a persistent, intelligent process. While still in its early stages, ARGOS and The Whisper Company are exploring deeper integrations that will embed continuous authentication into the core of the ID check service.
Such a model will benefit a wide range of industries, particularly those experiencing rapid growth and increasing exposure to identity fraud. ARGOS Identity clients will soon be able to add persistent authentication as a modular enhancement giving them even greater control over their security and user verification strategies.
“The Whisper Company brings an exciting and necessary perspective to identity verification. Persistent authentication is the next frontier, and we’re excited to explore how it can become an integral part of our platform and client solutions.” said Wonkyu Lee, CEO of ARGOS Identity.
As identity threats evolve, ARGOS Identity continues to lead the way partnering with innovators like The Whisper Company to bring tomorrow’s security technologies to today’s platforms.
