Socure, a provider of artificial intelligence for digital identity verification, authentication, KYC, KYB, sanctions screening, and fraud prevention, has announced a strategic partnership with Docusign, an intelligent agreement management company, to embed Socure’s comprehensive identity solutions into Docusign Identify. This collaboration will make identity verification and risk-based authentication readily available to Docusign’s millions of users worldwide.
The partnership enables Docusign customers to leverage Socure’s solutions to assess a signatory’s identity attributes and determine their unique risk level. This integration aims to move beyond traditional knowledge-based authentication (KBA) methods, which are described as outdated, expensive, and inaccurate, often creating friction for users. Docusign customers can now utilize Socure’s full product suite to approve legitimate users confidently while stepping up authentication for high-risk engagements in real-time.
Johnny Ayers, CEO and founder of Socure, stated that the partnership represents a significant milestone in ensuring that every signature starts with identity certainty. He added that by bringing Socure’s solutions to the hundreds of millions of signatures processed annually with Docusign, organizations can create a seamless signing experience for legitimate users while proactively assessing risk and protecting each digital signature. Socure’s platform, backed by an identity graph that processes over 100 billion data points monthly, delivers real-time identity verification at scale, driving risk decisions with accuracy and minimal friction globally.
The initial integration will incorporate several Socure products within the Docusign Identify ecosystem. These include Sigma Identity Fraud for comprehensive third-party fraud detection, Sigma Synthetic Fraud for identifying manipulated and fabricated identities, and Digital Intelligence, which blends device intelligence, behavioral analytics, and graph-based entity profiling for risk indicators linked to digital interactions. Also integrated are Email RiskScore, Phone RiskScore, and Address RiskScore to verify individuals by assessing the correlation and risk of provided contact information, alongside Socure Verify+ for precise identity verification by matching core Personally Identifiable Information (PII) against authoritative sources and SocureID Global Watchlist. The Global Watchlist Standard will also be used for verification against global sanction lists with a proprietary two-score matching system.
The Socure integration is available as an optional feature within Docusign Identify, allowing customers to choose a risk-based authentication approach to streamline their document-signing processes. Organizations have the flexibility to configure the system to automatically approve low-risk users while escalating high-risk transactions to additional verification methods, such as document verification or OTP authentication.
Mangesh Bhandarkar, Group Vice President of Product Management at Docusign, commented on the partnership, stating Docusign’s commitment to protecting organizations and their customers against identity fraud. He noted that the collaboration with Socure is a critical component of that work, bringing a dynamic approach to identity verification that balances security with user experience, maintaining the trust customers expect from Docusign.
