As digital onboarding accelerates across industries, Socure Checkr Trust identity risk platform is helping businesses unify identity verification and criminal background intelligence in a single workflow.
Socure has announced a strategic partnership with Checkr Trust to integrate their respective capabilities into a unified platform for identity and risk decision making. The collaboration brings together Socure’s AI driven identity verification technology with Checkr Trust’s criminal background data network, enabling organizations to assess both identity and behavioral risk in real time.
Through the integration, Socure’s RiskOS platform will incorporate Checkr Trust’s criminal background screening capabilities, while Checkr Trust will embed Socure’s identity verification, biometrics, and document validation tools into its workflows. The result is a streamlined system that allows businesses to verify who an individual is while simultaneously evaluating risk signals related to criminal or fraudulent activity.
“This is a strategic partnership between two market leaders. Checkr Trust chose Socure to power identity verification for their marketplace customers, and we’re embedding their criminal intelligence directly into RiskOS. That’s what real partnership looks like in identity and AI trust infrastructure: both sides get stronger enabling us to better serve our respective partners,” said Johnny Ayers, Founder and CEO of Socure.
The combined solution is designed to reduce friction during onboarding while improving accuracy in risk detection. By leveraging Checkr Trust’s network of more than 2,400 data sources alongside Socure’s global identity graph, organizations can identify high risk individuals earlier in the user journey without disrupting legitimate customers.
“We selected Socure as our identity verification partner because they demonstrated the best accuracy and recall in our extensive testing, alongside easy to integrate APIs and a clean user experience,” said Michele Casertano, Vice President of Checkr Trust. “By bringing our criminal data network into RiskOS, our joint customers gain the most complete, unified view of risk, all through one powerful platform.”
The integration also supports compliance and audit requirements by providing unified workflows that combine identity verification, sanctions screening, and background checks. This allows organizations to maintain visibility and control over decision making processes while reducing the need for manual reviews.
A key advantage of the partnership is its ability to deliver real time insights across both identity and background risk. Businesses can verify users from the moment they onboard, ensuring legitimacy before transactions occur and reducing exposure to fraud or regulatory violations.
As digital ecosystems continue to expand, organizations are increasingly seeking solutions that consolidate fragmented risk signals into a single platform. The Socure Checkr Trust identity risk platform reflects a broader industry shift toward integrated trust infrastructure, where identity verification, fraud prevention, and compliance operate together.
By combining AI powered identity intelligence with extensive criminal data coverage, Socure and Checkr Trust are enabling businesses to make faster, more informed decisions while strengthening trust and safety across their platforms.
