Socure announced the company will provide identity verification services for remote onboarding for individuals accessing decentralized IDs as part of the new Microsoft Azure Active Directory verifiable credentials feature in public preview.

Once verified, these credentials can be used to prove an identity across different organizations to accelerate onboarding of users and enable a more trustworthy credential recovery experience.

"We are incredibly excited to collaborate with Microsoft. As the world moves toward increasingly virtual and distributed workplaces and teams, Microsoft Azure Active Directory verifiable credentials marks a major milestone toward safely verifying and onboarding new employees," said Johnny Ayers, CEO and Founder of Socure.

Socure has collaborated with Microsoft to provide safe, low-friction, and highly accurate identity verification for companies' issuance of digitally verifiable credentials.

"Our vision is to provide the platform for a digital identity in which individuals have more control over what information they share and can restrict access if needed," said Sue Bohn, Partner Director Program Management, Identity Division at Microsoft Corp. "Collaborating with Socure empowers businesses to verify information at scale while ensuring users have greater control over their personal information."

DocV is the only identity verification solution with a multi-dimensional view of an identity that includes checks across all identity elements, along with ensuring that the device being used to complete the verification belongs to the individual asserting the identity.
