Digital Identity Governance for Financial Services

Banks, credit unions, and financial institutions face increasing pressure to secure digital identities,  not just manage them. Between insider threats, AI-driven fraud, and evolving compliance standards like SOX, GLBA, and PCI DSS, financial firms need identity governance that is secure, scalable, and future-proof.

At Habilis.Identity, we help financial institutions go beyond traditional IAM to adopt AI-resistant, privacy-first digital identity governance, built for today’s risk landscape and tomorrow’s regulations.

Tracking and Monitoring identity in finance

Why Identity Governance Is Critical in Finance

Digital identity is the front line of financial security. According to IBM (2023), the average cost of a breach in the financial sector reached $5.9 million, with over 74% of attacks involving credential theft, social engineering, or privilege misuse (Verizon DBIR, 2023).

Without real-time identity governance, banks risk:

  • Overprivileged accounts and toxic access combinations

  • Insider misuse and orphaned access

  • Delayed access revocation after termination

  • Gaps in third-party and vendor access

  • Compliance violations and audit failures

What Makes Habilis.Identity Different?

AI-Proof Human Identity Verification
Unlike legacy IAM systems that can be tricked by synthetic IDs or AI-generated deepfakes, our platform verifies true human identity using non-reversible cryptographic fingerprints, not photos, passwords, or knowledge-based answers.
Zero-Trust Access Enforcement
Habilis.Identity fits seamlessly into your zero-trust architecture. We enable continuous verification, granular access control, and risk-based authentication tailored to financial environments.
Real-Time Governance and ITDR
Go beyond static reviews. Our platform supports Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) monitoring behavior anomalies, privilege escalation, and MFA fatigue in real time.
