Automated facial recognition across public sources

The platform uses a submitted photo to scan public-facing web sources, including social media platforms, blogs, and news sites. It identifies potential matches and presents them in a consolidated report. This eliminates the need to manually search each site individually.

Business outcome: Reduces person-search time from hours to under two minutes per query.

Filter results by source type for targeted investigations

Users can filter search results by source category, such as social media, news, or personal websites. This allows investigators to focus on the most relevant data and ignore noise from unrelated sources.

Business outcome: Increases investigation efficiency by allowing teams to prioritize high-value data sources.

Exportable search reports for compliance and records

Completed searches can be exported into standard report formats. This is critical for maintaining audit trails and sharing findings with stakeholders or legal teams without revealing the platform's interface.

Business outcome: Enables easy documentation of investigative findings for compliance and legal purposes.

Process multiple photos in a single session

The platform supports uploading multiple images for simultaneous searching. This is useful for cases involving multiple subjects or when different angles of the same person need to be checked.

Business outcome: Scales identity verification efforts across larger caseloads without proportional time increases.

Configurable data retention and search privacy settings

Users can set how long their search data is retained on the platform. This helps organizations comply with internal data governance policies and regulations like GDPR.

Business outcome: Provides a framework for responsible data handling during identity investigations.

Integrate face search into existing workflows via API

For enterprise clients, Face ID Search offers an API that allows teams to automate face searches from their own internal tools, such as case management systems or custom security dashboards.

Business outcome: Embeds identity verification directly into existing operational workflows, reducing manual data entry.
