1. Hosted Flow

The "Fastest to Market" Path.

Use the RiskOS™ Dashboard to design your branding and verification logic. Your application generates a session and redirects the user to a Socure-hosted environment. This path handles the entire journey—including SMS OTP and PII entry—within a pre-built UI.

  • Best for: Teams who want a turnkey onboarding experience with minimal frontend development.

2. API integration only

The "Seamless Brand" Path.

A backend-to-backend integration where you collect PII on your own custom forms. This path allows you to maintain total control over your sign-up experience while RiskOS™ handles the background screening logic and device risk via API.

  • Best for: Teams who want to keep users entirely within their own application ecosystem for the duration of the onboarding flow.

The Capture App

When Document Verification is triggered, RiskOS™ returns the information required to launch the Capture App, a secure experience that guides users through:

  • Scanning a government-issued ID
  • Taking a biometric selfie
  • Completing liveness verification

For web applications, initialize the DocV Web SDK to embed the capture experience directly in your application.

For native mobile applications, launch the Capture App using the provided URL and redirect the user back to your app upon completion.

Regardless of platform, RiskOS™ completes processing asynchronously and delivers the final onboarding decision via webhook once verification is finished.
