Daon®, a global provider of digital identity services, has obtained certification for ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard for AI Management Systems (AIMS). This certification was awarded after an independent audit by a third-party organization and recognizes Daon's governance framework across the entire AI system lifecycle, including risk assessment, model documentation, human oversight, performance monitoring, transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement processes. The certification applies to Daon's global operations, including those in the United States, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Japan.

ISO/IEC 42001 is the world's first international management system standard specifically for artificial intelligence. As organizations increasingly adopt AI in critical digital infrastructure, this standard sets out requirements for identifying, assessing, mitigating, monitoring, and documenting AI system-related risks while maintaining full transparency and accountability.

As AI rapidly transforms fraud prevention, identity verification, and authentication methods, Daon has become one of the earliest digital identity providers to achieve this new certification. Financial institutions, government agencies, and various enterprises are increasingly adopting AI-powered technologies to combat deepfakes, synthetic fake IDs, account takeovers, and sophisticated impersonation attacks. Amidst ongoing discussions around AI governance, this certification provides confidence that AI systems are managed within an internationally recognized framework.

Tom Grissen, CEO of Daon, stated: "The era where innovation itself was the focus of AI is over. This technology is now at the heart of critical user authentication and fraud prevention systems. Organizations need not only confidence in the effectiveness of AI-powered systems but also confidence in the governance framework by which they are managed, monitored, and continuously improved. The fact that our AI Management System conforms to this new standard demonstrates how seriously Daon is committed to responsible AI management across our business."

Daon's AI technology is integrated throughout its digital identity platform, supporting advanced features such as biometric authentication (facial and voice recognition), liveness checks, deepfake detection, fraud prevention, document verification and forgery detection for identity documents, orchestration of the entire authentication system, and risk analysis. These AI capabilities are controlled based on model-level and system-level management frameworks, with documentation including model information sheets, risk assessments, lifecycle documentation, monitoring requirements, and materials to ensure transparency.

About Daon's Deepfake Detection Capabilities on its Authentication Platform

Deepfake Image and Video Detection Presentation Attack Detection: This feature detects presentation attacks, where fraudsters attempt impersonation by presenting a fake image or video to the camera. Daon's Presentation Attack Detection feature has achieved Level 2 certification from iBeta, a NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) accredited lab that conducts evaluation tests based on ISO/IEC 30107, an international standard specifying methods for evaluating presentation attack detection capabilities. In this certification test, Daon achieved perfect scores of 0% APCER (False Acceptance Rate - the rate at which an imposter is incorrectly accepted as genuine) and 0% BPCER (False Rejection Rate - the rate at which a genuine user is incorrectly rejected) on both iOS and Android, objectively demonstrating its strong resilience against sophisticated impersonation attacks.

Injection Attack Detection: This feature accurately detects injection attacks, a method of fraudulent activity using images that has become mainstream globally, replacing presentation attacks in recent years. It is an advanced fraud prevention feature realized through a multi-layered combination of technologies, including image analysis and metadata analysis.

These Presentation Attack Detection and Injection Attack Detection capabilities are included as standard features in Daon's identity verification (eKYC) and facial recognition services offered worldwide, including in Japan. They can also be provided individually for other use cases.

Synthesized Voice Detection This feature automatically detects voices synthesized by generative AI. It is a state-of-the-art fraud detection feature that automatically detects voices synthesized by Voice Cloning in real-time. Its use in conjunction with voice biometrics is expanding in call center applications.
