Socure Partners With Checkr Trust to Strengthen Identity and Criminal Risk Decision Making for Businesses

Mutual partnership combines Socure’s identity verification with Checkr Trust’s criminal data network to help businesses make faster, more complete trust decisions

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Socure, the leading infrastructure for global identity and risk intelligence, today announced a strategic partnership and integration with Checkr Trust. Through the partnership, Socure will integrate Checkr Trust’s criminal background check capabilities into its RiskOS® orchestration platform, while Checkr Trust will incorporate Socure’s identity verification, biometrics, and document verification technology into its identity verification workflows.

Together, the companies will deliver a more unified approach to identity and background verification, enabling organizations to verify who someone is and evaluate trust signals through a single, streamlined platform.

Through RiskOS, organizations can detect potential risks of criminal or sexual offenses during onboarding and beyond without adding friction for legitimate users. By combining Checkr Trust’s extensive criminal data network with Socure’s AI-powered identity verification and fraud controls, the integration delivers a real-time view of both identity and background risk.

“This is a strategic partnership between two market leaders. Checkr Trust chose Socure to power identity verification for their marketplace customers, and we're embedding their criminal intelligence directly into RiskOS. That's what real partnership looks like in identity and AI trust infrastructure: both sides get stronger enabling us to better serve our respective partners,” said Johnny Ayers, Founder & CEO of Socure.

“We selected Socure as our identity verification partner because they demonstrated the best accuracy and recall in our extensive testing, alongside easy-to-integrate APIs and a clean user experience,” said Michele Casertano, Vice President of Checkr Trust. “By bringing our criminal data network into RiskOS, our joint customers gain the most complete, unified view of risk, all through one powerful platform.”
