HyperVerge, a leading AI-powered customer onboarding and fraud prevention company, announced that it has become the first and only company in India to successfully passed evaluation under the European CEN/TS 19099 standard for Injection Attack Detection (IAD -Level 2). At the same time, the company also passed the ISO/IEC 30107-3 Presentation Attack Detection (PAD) Level 3 evaluation, the highest level in the standard. This dual achievement makes HyperVerge the only Indian digital identity technology provider with independent, third-party verification proving its systems can stop both advanced physical face spoofs and digital deepfakes.

Fraudsters have traditionally tried to fool identity systems by holding photos, masks or altered documents in front of a camera. Injection attacks bypass the camera altogether: the attacker uses a virtual camera, a rooted phone, an emulator or a hooked function to push a manipulated image or video directly into the onboarding system, so that a deepfake appears to come from a real customer completing a live check.

Presentation attack detection, tested under ISO/IEC 30107-3, covers the first class. Level 3 is its most demanding tier: evaluators have days and a budget to build custom silicone masks and sculpted artefacts for specific targets. Injection attack detection, tested under CEN/TS 18099, covers the second. CEN/TS 18099 was published by the European Committee for Standardization in 2024 and is now referenced for remote identity proofing under eIDAS 2.0. ISO/IEC 30107-3 has been the international benchmark for presentation attack testing since 2017. Together, they are the two published frameworks a liveness system can be independently measured against.

Independent evaluations like the one HyperVerge has achieved against global and European standards offer risk, security and compliance leaders verifiable proof of system defense. 

This matters in India because banks, NBFCs, fintech companies and insurers onboard millions of customers remotely, and the cheapest way to defeat a video-KYC journey is no longer a mask. It answers the most important question on the minds of BFSI leaders: “How good is the technology against fraud?” HyperVerge cleared both global standards with results well within thresholds. This ensures injection attacks and deepfakes are stopped while genuine users get a great customer experience. 

“Attackers don’t stick to one fraud playbook. They may use physical masks in one instance and AI-generated identities or manipulate video in another,” said Kedar Kulkarni, Co-founder and CEO of HyperVerge. “These independent evaluations give banks, financial institutions, insurers and fintech companies objective evidence of how our technology performs against sophisticated attacks, while maintaining a seamless experience for genuine users. We will continue to invest in fraud prevention so legitimate customers can access financial services quickly while bad actors face stronger barriers.”
