How they describe themselves: At HooYu, we’ve created a new approach to identity verification that goes beyond basic identity document checks to connect you with the living person your company is about to do business with.

One form of identification is simply not enough when verifying someone’s identity. A multi-layered defence is what is needed to help pass all of your customers during the on-boarding process and defend your company from well-equipped fraudsters.

HooYu’s approach is to combine digital footprint analysis, identity document verification, facial biometrics, and database checks to confirm customer identity and provide financial services a complete view of their customer.

How they describe their product/innovation: Our range of new database checks provides you with an additional data point to verify customer identity.

Along with our digital footprint analysis, facial biometrics and ID document checks, businesses will be sure to know that they are carrying out in-depth KYC checks and adhering to AML regulations.

How they describe themselves: Exate Technology protects sensitive data in order to allow for greater client trust with firms and to comply with both Brexit, as well as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).  Data is a valuable asset and Exate’s patent pending data middleware IT solution allows clients to apply rules which easily and effectively control how data is accessed and then reported through our blockchain.  The same solution allows Exate to manage the flow of cross border data transfers with respect to Sovereign Data Walls.

How they describe their product/innovation: Unlike others, who have rebranded existing solutions to tackle GDPR, Exate’s solution was built from scratch with the intention of solving the major challenges of GDPR. To do this, Exate separate data security from application security. Exate’s data middleware solution allows clients to apply rules which easily & effectively control how data is accessed. By providing a “virtual visa for your data”, Exate’s solution enables the data to determine who can access it, thus we bring data protection closer to the data. Moreover, Exate provides immutable forensic proof of who accessed, or attempted to access, the data via our blockchain technology. Additionally, the same solution allows Exate to manage cross-border data transfers & AML checks.
