Yes. Persona for Government has earned FedRAMP® Authorized status at the Moderate Impact level and is listed on the FedRAMP marketplace, making it a compliant choice for federal agencies looking to modernize identity verification and fraud prevention.

Yes. Persona is Kantara IAL2 certified, meaning it meets NIST SP 800-63-3 standards for digital identity assurance at Level 2. This makes Persona suitable for agencies that need to confidently verify constituent identities while complying with federal digital identity guidelines. 

Persona uses a multi-layered approach to fraud detection, including AI-powered checks for deepfakes, synthetic identities, ID tampering, and spoofing attempts. It also passively collects risk signals such as VPN usage, device fingerprinting, and behavioral signals to dynamically adjust friction for suspicious users, without degrading the experience for legitimate users.

Persona's Dynamic Flow technology automatically calibrates the level of identity verification required based on real-time risk signals. Low-risk users move through quickly with minimal friction, while higher-risk sessions trigger additional verification steps. This means agencies don't have to choose between security and access — they can protect program integrity while delivering a fast, accessible experience for the vast majority of constituents who are exactly who they say they are.

State-sponsored infiltration is a growing and documented threat. In 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice revealed that North Korea deployed thousands of IT workers who used stolen or synthetic identities to obtain remote employment at over 300 U.S. companies, including Fortune 500 corporations. Government agencies face the same risk.

Persona's Know Your Employee (KYE) solution defends against this at every stage of the employee lifecycle. At the hiring stage, Persona verifies candidates' real-world identities using government ID verification, selfie liveness checks, and IP-based location intelligence to detect geographic inconsistencies, proxy usage, and more. It also creates verified session records to ensure the same person completes each stage of the hiring process, from application to final offer, preventing candidate-switching schemes common in state-sponsored attacks.
