Regula, a global developer of identity verification (IDV) solutions and forensic devices, has been recognised in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Identity Verification research.

For the company, this recognition marks the outstanding capabilities of Regula’s IDV software and its ability to meet the current market needs. Gartner recognised Regula as a Niche Player. 

Data security requirements

It's a complete IDV solution, based on Regula Document Reader SDK and Regula Face SDK

Regula excels with its ultimate data control capabilities. Its complete IDV solution, based on Regula Document Reader SDK and Regula Face SDK, is deployed entirely in the customer’s infrastructure. 

This enables businesses to maintain full control over ID and biometric data residency and processing, which is critical for organisations operating in regions or industries with stringent data security requirements.

IDV software solution  

Also, thanks to the scientific and forensics-focused approach, Regula provides industry-pioneering verification of document security features. 

With its recent update, Regula Document Reader SDK has become the first IDV software solution capable of verifying document liveness checks of all dynamic security features in IDs, including holograms, optically variable inks (OVI), multiple laser images (MLI), Dynaprint, etc.

Demanding IDV requirements

This liveness-centric approach helps prevent presentation attacks, such as screen replays, injections

This liveness-centric approach helps prevent presentation attacks, such as screen replays, injections, and printed forgeries, which can bypass security measures during remote onboarding. This ensures that any attempt to manipulate an ID can be detected before it causes harm. 

"In our opinion, being recognised as a Niche Player in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Identity Verification reflects exactly what we stand for: a highly focused, customer-driven approach. We’ve built our solutions to meet the most demanding IDV requirements, based on direct feedback from the organisations that rely on us. Our niche is where security, precision, and customer needs intersect. And that’s where we excel," says Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula.
