Trust & Safety

Platform Compliance Is Now a Legal Standard, Not a Choice

The UK Online Safety Act, EU Digital Services Act, and FATF guidance have raised the standard for platform accountability. Regulated platforms now need to verify identities, assure age, detect fraud, and produce auditable evidence for every user touchpoint.

Trust and Safety Obligations Regulated Platforms Face Today

Age Assurance Is a Legal Requirement

Age Assurance Is a Legal Requirement

Platforms hosting age-restricted content must meet legally defined age assurance thresholds, not voluntary guidelines. Shufti applies the lightest check that satisfies the legal standard, escalating to document verification only when required by jurisdiction or proximity to age threshold.

Synthetic Identities Evade Detection

Synthetic Identities Evade Detection

Synthetic identities, AI-generated documents, and deepfake-assisted onboarding bypass platforms that rely on basic verification checks. Shufti combines document forensics and biometric liveness detection to catch what legacy systems miss.

Platform Liability Has Expanded

Platform Liability Has Expanded

INFORM and EU DSA require platforms to verify third-party sellers and maintain trader traceability or face fines and enforcement action. Shufti verifies seller and worker identity against government-issued records with auditable evidence on every check.

Every Real Identity Confirmed Before Account Activates

Every Real Identity Confirmed Before Account Activates

Real identity, confirmed age, and authenticated government-issued documents before any account is activated. The lightest check that meets the legal standard is applied first, with deeper verification triggered only where regulation requires it.

  • Age Estimation

    iBeta PAD Level 3 certified passive and active liveness detection defends against printed photos, screen replays, 3D silicone masks, and Gen 5 virtual camera injection attacks. Passive mode analyses a single frame with no user challenge required.

  • Document Verification

    A 9-layer forensic engine authenticates government-issued identity documents across 250+ regions. Detects tampered, AI-generated, and synthetically assembled documents, satisfying high-assurance KYC requirements.

Behavioral Biometrics mockup Device Fingerprinting mockup Step-up Biometric mockup MFA mockup

Every Session Monitored to Block Platform Abuse

Verification at signup is not sufficient. Behavioural signals, device intelligence, and biometric step-up controls monitor every session after login, blocking account takeover and abusive access patterns.

  • Behavioral Biometrics

    Monitors keystroke dynamics, mouse movement, and session interaction patterns continuously after login. Flags bots, credential-stuffed sessions, remote access tools, and account takeover behaviours.

  • Device Fingerprinting

    Builds a persistent device profile from hardware signals, browser attributes, and network characteristics. Identifies the same device operating under multiple identities and flags emulator and proxy sessions.

  • Step-up Biometric

    Triggers biometric step-up re-verification at high-risk moments: payout changes, new device registration, account recovery, and access to restricted content. Compares the live selfie against the enrolled identity anchor.

  • MFA

    Configurable multi-factor authentication layered on top of primary identity verification. Applies OTP, TOTP, or biometric challenge at defined risk thresholds without disrupting low-risk sessions.

AML Screening mockup Adverse Media mockup

Compliance Monitoring That Never Stops After Onboarding

Risk status changes after onboarding. Every enrolled user is re-screened every 15 minutes across sanctions, PEP databases, and adverse media, with alerts firing within 15 minutes of publication.

  • AML Screening

    Screens 4,000+ watchlists across 215+ sanction regimes, 2.6M PEP profiles, and 1B+ adverse media articles, refreshed every 15 minutes. Every alert is bound to a biometrically verified identity.

  • Adverse Media

    In-house AI trained on 1B+ articles evaluates context, tone, and entity role across 415+ themes in 80+ languages. Clickbait and incidental mentions are suppressed, surfacing enforcement-grade signals only.

Detect Every Fraud Type Targeting Your Platform

Deepfake

Deepfake

AI-generated faces and synthetically forged documents bypass legacy liveness checks at scale. Shufti’s passive liveness & document forensics detects synthetic media before it reaches your onboarding flow.

Identity Fraud

Identity Fraud

Credential theft, blended synthetic identities, and manipulated documents exploit gaps in manual review. Shufti’s layered verification surfaces fraud signals before accounts are created.

Account & Platform Abuse

Account & Platform Abuse

Duplicate registrations, bot-driven sign-ups, and referral exploits erode platform economics. Shufti links device, identity, and behavioural signals to flag abuse rings at scale.

Transaction & Payment Fraud

Transaction & Payment Fraud

False chargeback claims, money mule networks, and sanctions evasion expose your business to financial and regulatory risk. Shufti ties identity verification directly to transaction context.

How It Works

One Compliance Workflow for Every Platform Obligation Covered

Trust and Safety Questions Compliance Teams Ask

How does Shufti support age assurance under the UK Online Safety Act?

Shufti applies the lightest check that satisfies the legal standard. AI age estimation runs first for standard flows with no document capture required. Document-based verification triggers only when legally necessary or when the user is near a legal age threshold. This means legitimate users below a risk threshold face no unnecessary friction, while the platform meets Ofcom’s requirement for highly effective age assurance.

How does Shufti detect fake accounts and synthetic identities?

Shufti combines government-issued document forensics with iBeta PAD Level 3 certified liveness detection and GAN fingerprinting that identifies AI-generated faces. Duplicate detection and device intelligence flag linked accounts and document reuse before activation. In independent testing, Shufti detected 8 of 8 forgeries that legacy systems passed.

How does Shufti help platforms meet the INFORM Consumers Act and EU DSA?

For INFORM Consumers Act compliance, Shufti verifies high-volume seller identity and business information through KYC and KYB checks. For EU DSA trader traceability, Shufti confirms entity existence, ownership structure, and director identity. Every check produces an immutable evidence record exportable for regulatory submission.

How quickly can compliance teams retrieve evidence for a regulatory audit?

A compliance officer enters the user reference ID in the Back Office and retrieves the complete evidence package in under 30 seconds. The package includes document images, AI confidence scores, liveness results, age assurance outcome, AML screening result, and timestamped audit records. Four RBAC tiers control access. All records are filterable by date, status, and product type.

Does Shufti support on-premise deployment for sensitive platform data?

On-premise and private cloud deployment is available for biometric liveness detection, document verification, and face matching. AML screening operates through regional cloud processing (EU, UK, US, APAC, MENA) with configurable data retention and DPA coverage.

How does continuous AML monitoring work on a 15-minute refresh cycle?

Every enrolled user is re-screened against 4,000+ watchlists, 2.6M PEP profiles, and a 1B+ article adverse media repository every 15 minutes. When a sanctions designation or PEP appointment occurs, the compliance team receives a real-time alert within 15 minutes of publication. Legacy batch systems run this cycle once every 24 hours, leaving a compliance exposure window. The 15-minute cadence closes it.
