Comply with NIS2
NIS2 is an EU directive adopted by the EU parliament in November 2022. The purpose is to protect critical infrastructure, such as for examples DNS and IP addresses , from cyber threats and to achieve a high level of security across the whole of EU.
Building upon the NIS directive from 2016, NIS2 includes stricter security requirements, reporting obligations, and enforcement requirements for you as a domain registrar. One of these stricter requirements is that domain companies are required to verify domain buyers and companies who register internet domains.
Where innovation meets domain name system security
Identity Verification Services
Leveraging advanced AI algorithms, Truid verifies the authenticity of user-provided information, including government-issued IDs and biographical data.
Authentication Solutions
Our platform supports multi-factor authentication and biometric verification to ensure the integrity of user identities.
How it works for You as a registrar
1
Initiation
With a Truid integration, you send out a unique URL for each registrant that you want to verify.
2
Request
You send the URL to the registrant's email, requesting verification of their ID.
3
Verification
The Registrant verifies their identity with an ID document and a mobile or computer camera.
4
API Delivery
You get a proof of identity delivered from Truid's platform over API, including info about the identification method used (e.g. required by DENIC)
Critical for NIS2 - reusability
How it works for registrants
NIS2 states that registrants shouldn't have to redo identity verification. Truid solves that.
1. The registrant receives a request to verify their identity.
2. They use an identity document and the Truid platform to verify their identity and create a reusable digital identity.
3. They share their verified identity data with explicit consent to the registrar.
The registrant can use their reusable Truid identity to perform buyer identity verification for all other registries where they have domains, in conjunction with NIS2.
How Loopia prevents malicious registrations
Traditional methods to prevent fraud and abuse, such as requesting photos of documents and handling them manually, were not only time-consuming but also vulnerable to errors and fraud and not compliant with GDPR.
To overcome these challenges, Loopia integrated Truid's digital identity verification solution into their domain registration process.
Since implementing Truid, Loopia has successfully minimized fraudulent domain registrations, significantly reducing the workload for their abuse department.
