Methodology

How to read these results

Analyst evaluations

Research firms such as Gartner and Forrester position vendors against their own defined criteria at a point in time. A placement reflects the firm’s view of the market on the report date.

Government and lab testing

NIST, the DHS Remote Identity Validation Rally, and iBeta measure one capability against a published protocol. APCER is the share of spoof attacks wrongly accepted, and BPCER is the share of genuine users wrongly rejected.

Academic competitions

Research teams submit algorithms that the organizers evaluate blind on the same data. A first place ranks Incode against the other submitted systems on that dataset.

Customer reviews

G2 badges come from verified user reviews collected over a review period. They show how customers rate the product in daily use.

No single result shows a vendor is right for every use case, which is why each record on this page states its scope and date.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What awards and recognition has Incode received?

Incode's recognition comes from three kinds of proof: analyst evaluations, government and independent testing, and industry awards. Gartner has named Incode a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Identity Verification for three consecutive years. Incode was the first company to pass iBeta Level 3 presentation attack detection testing on both iOS and Android, and in 2026 it won gold for Fraud & Compliance Solution of the Year at the SBC Awards. The full list, with the year and source of each recognition, is in the table above.

Is Incode a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Identity Verification?

Yes. Gartner named Incode a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Identity Verification, in the report dated July 28, 2026, and Incode has been a Leader in every edition since the first in 2024. Download the report and read the full evaluation on the Gartner Magic Quadrant page.

Has Incode's liveness detection been independently tested?

Yes. Incode was the first company to pass iBeta Level 3 presentation attack detection testing on both iOS and Android, and none of the 900 spoof attacks succeeded. In Track 3 of the DHS Science and Technology Directorate's Remote Identity Validation Rally, Incode recorded the second-lowest spoof error rate in passive liveness, and it won the video category of LivDet-Face 2026. Read how Incode liveness detection works.

How has Incode performed in NIST testing?

In NIST's September 2026 age estimation benchmark, Incode's model ranked third of 29 providers on the largest dataset. In NIST's 2024 FRTE 1:N evaluation, Incode ranked first among full-solution identity verification providers, based on Incode's summary of the published NIST data. Rankings vary by dataset, so each result on this page names its dataset and date.

What did the DHS Remote Identity Validation Rally test?

The Remote Identity Validation Rally is a DHS Science and Technology Directorate program that tests liveness detection, document validation, and injection attack resistance under controlled conditions. In Track 2, Incode was one of two systems to meet multiple DHS performance goals for document validation. In Track 3, Incode recorded the second-lowest spoof error rate in passive liveness and met the DHS thresholds for accuracy and run time.

What security certifications does Incode hold?

Incode Technologies is SOC 2 Type II compliant and certified to ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001, the international standard for AI management systems. Incode's platform is FedRAMP Ready and holds the Kantara Initiative IAL2 Trust Mark for identity verification. GDPR, CCPA, and BIPA are privacy laws, and Incode builds its platform to support compliance with them. Reports and certificates are available in the Incode Trust Center.

Is Incode FedRAMP authorized?

Incode achieved FedRAMP Ready status in November 2025, after a Readiness Assessment by an accredited third-party assessment organization. FedRAMP Ready is a readiness designation on the path to FedRAMP Authorization, and Incode's current status is listed on the FedRAMP Marketplace.

What is the difference between an award, an analyst evaluation, and independent testing?

An analyst evaluation, such as a Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ or a Forrester Wave™, positions vendors against a research firm's defined criteria at a point in time. Independent and government testing, such as NIST, iBeta, and the DHS Remote Identity Validation Rally, measures how one capability performs against a published protocol. An industry award recognizes a product or company through a judged or nominated process, and customer review badges reflect verified user ratings over a review period. No single result shows a vendor is right for every use case, which is why each record on this page states its scope and date.
