ID.me uses bank grade security infrastructure and federally compliant information protection practices to safeguard your data.
Physical Security
The most important layer of security is the physical layer. Our servers are hosted in SSAE 16 validated data centers protected by armed security guards, surveillance equipment, and state of the art access control technology.
PII Encryption
Sensitive data on ID.me servers is tokenized and stored separately so that even if you were able to break through our access controls, you would be unable to access customer information. We leverage a FIPS 140-2 validated, AES-256 data encryption solution with the same integrated key management utilized by many leading financial institutions.
Safe and Secure Hosting Platform
ID.me is hosted within the Amazon Web Services (AWS). Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a proven leader in the industry, with rigorous security audits to ensure the security of all data on their servers.
