The threat landscape
Fraudsters are more sophisticated than ever. Your defenses should be, too.
Basic security checks are no longer enough. Today's fraudsters are using advanced techniques to attack businesses at their most vulnerable point: the user onboarding process.
Synthetic identity fraud
Fabricated identities — combining real and fake information — created to establish credit and then disappear.
Account takeover (ATO)
Fraudsters gaining unauthorized access to legitimate user accounts to steal funds or data.
Document forgery
Using high-quality fake or digitally altered ID documents to trick verification systems.
Multi-layered defense
Detect and block fraud at every step.
Sanctum Key deploys a powerful combination of technologies to give you comprehensive protection at the point of onboarding and beyond.
Certified liveness & biometric analysis
Our core defense. We confirm the user is physically present and matches their ID photo, making it virtually impossible to spoof the system with a photo, video, or mask.
Forensic document analysis
Our AI goes beyond reading a document — it forensically inspects it for signs of tampering, forgery, and digital manipulation that the human eye would miss.
Risk signal detection
We analyze hundreds of passive signals, such as device information and network data, to flag high-risk behavior patterns associated with fraud.
Duplicate account detection
Use biometrics as a unique key to prevent a single individual from creating multiple accounts to abuse promotions or commit loan stacking fraud.

FAQ
Common questions
What is a "liveness check"?+
It's an active test to ensure a real person is present. Our system guides the user through a simple, quick motion, which our AI analyzes to confirm three-dimensional life and block digital injection or spoofing attacks.
What is synthetic identity fraud?+
It's when a fraudster creates a new, fake identity using a mix of real (but stolen) and fabricated information. These are hard to detect because there's no single "victim" to report the identity theft. Our system helps detect these by cross-referencing data points for consistency.
How accurate is your fraud detection?+
Our platform achieves a 98% fraud detection rate by combining liveness detection, document forensics, and behavioral signals. False-positive rates are kept low through our configurable risk thresholds.
Does fraud detection slow down legitimate users?+
No — for clean, legitimate users the entire liveness and document check takes seconds. Only flagged cases are escalated for manual review, keeping your conversion rates high.
Stop fraud before it starts.
