<h4 style="color: #ff6900;">“This is a strategic partnership between two market leaders. Checkr Trust chose Socure to power identity verification for their marketplace customers, and we&#8217;re embedding their criminal intelligence directly into RiskOS. That&#8217;s what real partnership looks like in identity and AI trust infrastructure: both sides get stronger enabling us to better serve our respective partners,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnnyayers">Johnny Ayers, Founder &amp; CEO of Socure</a>.</h4>

<p>Through RiskOS, organizations can detect potential risks of criminal or sexual offenses during onboarding and beyond without adding friction for legitimate users. By combining Checkr Trust’s extensive criminal data network with Socure’s AI-powered identity verification and fraud controls, the integration delivers a real-time view of both identity and background risk.</p>
<blockquote style="margin: 30px 0; padding-left: 40px;">
