10 Questions Every CISO Should Ask About Human Verification

If you are responsible for your organization's security posture, human verification should be on your radar. Here are the questions you need to ask. Review our verification glossary for key terminology.

1. Where does biometric data live?

On servers (breach risk) or on-device (zero risk)? POY stores nothing. Learn more about our zero-data architecture.

2. What happens if the provider is breached?

If they store your users' biometric data, their breach is your breach. POY stores no biometric data to breach. Monitor emerging risks on our live threat feed.

3. What regulatory obligations does this create?

Centralized biometric storage triggers BIPA, GDPR Art.9, CCPA, and state laws. On-device processing with zero collection may not.

4. Can verification be spoofed by AI?

Software-only liveness can be defeated by deepfakes. Hardware-based 3D depth and IR cannot. Learn how one deepfake cost a bank $25 million.

5. What is the false acceptance rate?

Hardware liveness: near-zero. Software liveness: varies. CAPTCHAs: 99.8% bot success rate. See how POY compares to iProov.

6. How does this integrate with our existing stack?

Two lines of code. REST API. SDKs for every major language. Sub-50ms response. See the integration documentation.

7. What is the user experience impact?

30 seconds. No document upload. No video call. No wait time. Minimal friction.

8. Can this scale?

API-based architecture scales horizontally. No infrastructure to manage.

9. What is the cost model?

Per-verification pricing starting at competitive rates. Free developer tier. No minimum commitment. Try verification now.

10. Is there vendor lock-in?

POY is building toward an open protocol. The goal is interoperability, not lock-in. Explore our enterprise solutions to see how POY fits your stack.
