Why the status quo fails

The federal identity crisis — and how to solve it

The Federal Problem

Legacy PIV/CAC issuance takes weeks, stalling mission-critical remote contractors. Basic KBA (credit bureau checks) fails against AI deepfakes and is biased against thin-file applicants, locking them out of government services. Meanwhile, multi-tenant SaaS identity platforms force agencies to hand over sensitive biometric PII to external environments — creating massive cyber risk and violating Zero Trust principles.

The Trust Swiftly Capability

An agile Identity Proofing Engine delivering continuous anti-spoofing & deepfake defense, IAL2/IAL3-compliant document vetting, and dynamic routing — ensuring legitimate users get verified instantly while advanced fraud is blocked. Deploys to FedRAMP-authorized GovCloud infrastructure — such as GCP Assured Workloads — for full data sovereignty without the burden of self-hosted infrastructure.

Security posture

Security architecture trusted by federal mission owners

Trust Swiftly combines high-assurance identity proofing with hardened control signals that support ISSOs, CISOs, and mission-security stakeholders — aligned to Executive Order 14028 (Zero Trust Architecture) and OMB M-22-09 (Federal Zero Trust Strategy).

NIST 800-63A Compliant

Designed to support high-assurance proofing controls, stronger evidence capture, and a defensible Trusted Path.

FedRAMP High Aligned

Built for federal environments that need higher baseline security expectations and hardened operating controls.

SOC 2 Type II

Independent control validation reinforces operational discipline, evidence handling, and process consistency.

ISO 27001

Supports mature governance around information security management, asset handling, and continuous control review.

Mission coverage

Reach headquarters staff, rural hires, field teams, and distributed contractors without limiting proofing to a handful of facilities.

Defensible evidence chain

Generate chain-of-custody artifacts and proofing records that strengthen insider-threat programs and counter-infiltration reviews.

Flexible operating control

Use managed kits, field-ready kiosks, or government-owned hardware and internal staffing without changing the core proofing platform.

Equitable remote access

Enable homebound, disabled, and geographically remote applicants to complete identity proofing without traveling to a fixed enrollment site.

Mission risk

Modern fraud rings industrialize the endpoint. NIST 800-63A IAL3 expects a Trusted Path between the applicant and a controlled proofing environment. When agencies cannot prove control of the device, camera stack, network path, and capture flow, adversaries exploit the gap to plant operatives, exfiltrate CUI, and compromise mission networks.

Threat landscape

Software-only and BYOD proofing leave missions exposed to infiltration and IP theft

Federal identity proofing is now a security and counter-intelligence problem, not just an onboarding task. Nation-state-backed fake IT worker schemes, proxy interviewing, synthetic identities, and AI-enabled impersonation all raise the cost of relying on unmanaged devices and low-control workflows.

Why uncontrolled devices are a threat

Without controlled hardware, agencies cannot rule out virtual camera injection or AI-deepfakes during the interview, and adversaries exploit the gap to infiltrate mission-critical systems.

Why controlled deployment protects the mission

Managed kits, deployable kiosks, and government-owned hardware let agencies document chain of custody, operating control, and staffing decisions, giving mission owners verifiable assurance against insider threats and synthetic identities.

Travel-heavy enrollment slows readiness. Applicants wait for facilities, appointments, and local staffing before work can begin.

Fixed-site models miss distributed reality. Contractors, field personnel, and rural workers still need a trusted, controllable proofing path.

BYOH / BYOA adds operational control. Agencies can minimize supply chain risk, ensure max OPSEC, and keep sensitive interviews strictly in-house.

Program coverage

Built for mission-critical federal programs

Support the programs that break under travel bottlenecks, fragmented proofing vendors, low-control BYOD workflows, and the growing threat of nation-state infiltration targeting contractor networks.

Stopping nation-state infiltration and IP theft at the point of entry

Strengthen onboarding before credentials and network access are granted by using supervised proofing, controlled hardware, and evidence that closes infiltration vectors before adversaries gain access to classified systems, CUI, or sensitive research.

DIB and contractor onboarding at scale

Verify systems integrators, subcontractors, and supplier workforce members without forcing every person through a single metro-area or fixed-site credentialing process.

HSPD-12 and PIV support for distributed populations

Support remote and field-based proofing workflows that strengthen identity assurance before credential issuance, especially where traditional enrollment sites create delay.

Step-up verification for recovery, privilege changes, and sensitive access

Use risk-based re-verification when accounts are recovered, privileges are elevated, or high-risk actions require stronger assurance than the original onboarding event.

Deployment models

Choose the operating model that fits your mission and security boundary

One platform, three deployment paths — from fully managed to government-owned and operated. Start with what fits your timeline, then evolve as your program matures.

Fastest start

Managed Remote Kit

Trust Swiftly ships, configures, and manages the proofing hardware. Your team focuses on mission execution while we handle device logistics, updates, and support.

  • Pre-configured device shippedReady to proof on arrival — no IT setup required.
  • Remote lifecycle managementFirmware, app, and security updates pushed automatically.
  • Return and redeployDevices rotate between sites as mission needs shift.
Field ready

Deployable Kiosk

Portable, tamper-evident stations for field offices, enrollment centers, and satellite locations. Designed for supervised, high-throughput proofing at the point of need.

  • Rapid site activationPlug-and-proof at any location with power and network.
  • Supervised sessionsOn-site agents ensure chain of custody and anti-spoofing compliance.
  • Portable between locationsMove kiosks as demand shifts across offices and regions.
Maximum control

Government-Owned & Operated

Agencies supply their own approved hardware and internal verification agents. Trust Swiftly provides the proofing software, workflow engine, and evidence pipeline.

  • Agency-supplied hardwareUse your own devices to minimize supply chain risk.
  • Internal staffing modelYour cleared agents conduct proofing interviews in-house.
  • Full operational sovereigntyHardware, personnel, and data remain under agency control.

All three models run on the same platform, produce the same NIST 800-63A IAL3 evidence artifacts, and deploy to FedRAMP-authorized GovCloud infrastructure or on agency-owned systems. Start with Managed Remote Kits for a pilot, then transition to Government-Owned & Operated as your program scales.

The status quo vs. the Trust Swiftly advantage

Three approaches to federal identity proofing — only one keeps PII inside a controlled boundary

Federal buyers need a proofing model that satisfies NIST 800-63, supports Executive Order 14028 (Zero Trust), and deploys without a multi-year ATO cycle.

Capability Legacy PIV/CAC Traditional Cloud SaaS Trust Swiftly
Speed to verify Weeks to months — hardware-dependent, fixed-site enrollment. Days, but PII must leave the agency boundary. Minutes — deployed in GovCloud with full data sovereignty.
Data sovereignty On-prem but inflexible, hardware-locked, and expensive to scale. Multi-tenant; biometric PII exits the agency environment. GovCloud-native (e.g., GCP Assured Workloads). PII stays in a controlled boundary.
ATO timeline Inherited from existing infrastructure, but rigid and slow to adapt. 12–18 months for a new ATO on an external platform. Inherits existing security controls for rapid authority to operate.
Anti-spoofing & deepfake defense In-person eliminates deepfake risk, but requires fixed-site enrollment. Basic liveness on uncontrolled devices — vulnerable to injection. Continuous anti-spoofing on controlled hardware with supervised sessions.
Deployment coverage Fixed-site only — remote and field populations are excluded. BYOD/uncontrolled devices with no hardware assurance. Managed kits, deployable kiosks, or BYOH/BYOA — one platform for all.
Equitable access Varies by enrollment office — no standardized accessibility. Depends on vendor; accessibility varies. Remote proofing enables homebound and disabled applicants to verify without traveling to fixed sites.
Supply chain & hardware risk Proprietary "black-box" hardware with opaque global supply chains and high vendor lock-in. Uncontrolled BYOD with zero hardware assurance. Hardware-agnostic. Deploy on fully transparent COTS or agency-owned devices (GFE) for zero supply chain mystery.
Resiliency & maintenance Fragile, single points of failure. Requires expensive vendor break-fix contracts and extended downtime. Relies on end-users to troubleshoot their own consumer devices. Highly robust. Modular components allow internal IT to instantly swap failing standard parts for zero downtime.

From pilot to mission-wide deployment, without a custom build

Federal buyers need technology that protects the mission from day one — plus a practical path to evaluate, pilot, procure, and scale from managed deployments into government-owned operational models without standing up a brand-new proofing program.

  • Start with a pilot to validate workflow, evidence collection, and travel savings before broader deployment.
  • Expand from managed remote kits or portable kiosks into BYOH / BYOA when agencies want to reuse government-owned hardware and internal staff.
  • Support agencies, system integrators, and prime contractors that need one NIST 800-63A IAL3 proofing model across multiple user populations.
  • Procure directly or through established government contract vehicles, including GSA Schedule, NASA SEWP, and ITES-SW2.

Buyer questions

Frequently asked by federal buyers

This page is built for civilian agencies, defense programs, systems integrators, prime contractors, and suppliers that need NIST 800-63A IAL3 identity proofing for distributed users.
Trust Swiftly does not replace CAC or PIV issuance. It strengthens identity proofing before credential issuance and supports remote, distributed, and contractor populations that are difficult to process through a fixed enrollment center.
Trust Swiftly combines supervised workflows with controlled hardware and a Trusted Path, making it harder for proxy operatives, synthetic identities, and AI-deepfakes to infiltrate mission-critical networks.
Yes. Agencies can adopt a Government-Owned & Operated model using their own approved hardware and internal verification agents alongside Trust Swiftly software. This minimizes supply chain risk, ensures maximum operational security, and keeps highly sensitive interviews strictly in-house.
Yes. Trust Swiftly can support step-up proofing for account recovery, privilege changes, and other high-risk events so agencies and contractors are not limited to a one-time proofing decision.
Trust Swiftly supports direct purchasing as well as procurement through established government contract vehicles, including GSA Schedule, NASA SEWP, and ITES-SW2.
Security teams can review workflow design, hardware control, staffing model, chain-of-custody controls, proofing artifacts, retention approach, and how evidence maps to ISSO review requirements and supports counter-infiltration programs.
Trust Swiftly is designed to operate entirely within an existing FedRAMP boundary. By deploying directly into your agency’s FedRAMP-authorized infrastructure (such as GCP Assured Workloads or AWS GovCloud), the platform inherits the cloud provider's FedRAMP High baseline controls. We do not force your data into an external, third-party cloud environment. Additionally, Trust Swiftly's own security posture is validated by SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, and our architecture aligns with FedRAMP High control families.
Legacy identity solutions force agencies to rely on custom-built, "black-box" hardware. This introduces vast, opaque supply chains and hidden points of entry for hardware-level vulnerabilities. Trust Swiftly takes a transparent, open-architecture approach. We allow agencies to deploy on fully vetted Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) devices or government-furnished equipment (GFE). We provide complete visibility into our architecture—including full Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) transparency—so your security teams know exactly how and where PII is processed, allowing you to operate with full confidence and zero supply chain blind spots.
Proprietary hardware kiosks are notoriously fragile and expensive to maintain. If a custom camera or scanner breaks, the entire machine goes offline until a cleared vendor technician arrives, causing weeks of downtime. Trust Swiftly’s modular ecosystem maximizes operational resiliency. Because we decouple the software from the hardware, if a physical COTS peripheral fails in the field, your internal IT team can instantly swap it out with a standard replacement from your own inventory in minutes. This eliminates vendor lock-in, avoids expensive break-fix contracts, and dramatically lowers your Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
