The Verifyfed Platform
Federal contractors and defense subcontractors face an identity verification gap that standard HR onboarding tools cannot close. Commercial identity checks are designed for financial services and consumer use cases. They were not built to satisfy DCSA personnel security requirements, CMMC Level 2 onboarding documentation standards, or FedRAMP Moderate boundary constraints. When your contractor's offer letter is signed, you need a verification flow that produces an auditable record that survives an adjudicator review, a CMMC assessment, or a DCSA audit inquiry. That is what Verifyfed is built to do: end-to-end identity verification designed specifically for the federal contractor compliance context, with every verification record stored inside a FedRAMP Moderate-authorized boundary from the moment of collection. This is the compliance gap Verifyfed closes.
From document request to audit-ready package in minutes
-
01
Initiate the verification workflow
The onboarding coordinator sends a secure link to the new hire's personal device from the Verifyfed dashboard. No dedicated app required — works on any current iOS or Android browser. The hire captures their government-issued identity documents and completes a liveness selfie in a single guided session.
-
02
Document extraction and cross-reference
Verifyfed reads the document via NFC chip or optical character recognition, then cross-references extracted data against AAMVA MVAConnect (state DMV records) and SSA Consent-Based SSN Verification. Both checks complete within 90 seconds. A liveness and injection-attack check confirms the submitting person matches the ID document.

03
Audit-ready package delivered
A completed, FedRAMP-authorized identity verification package — verified document images, extraction metadata, adjudication decision, AAMVA and SSA response codes, liveness result, and full chain-of-custody log — is written to the coordinator dashboard and delivered to your HRIS via API connector. Generate a DCSA or CMMC-AB audit package in under 60 seconds, on demand.
Six Capabilities Built for Federal Contractor Compliance
FedRAMP-Authorized Document Storage
Store every identity verification record inside a FedRAMP Moderate-authorized boundary from day one. All identity documents, biometric data, and verification audit logs collected through Verifyfed are stored exclusively in AWS GovCloud regions covered by Verifyfed's FedRAMP Moderate Authority to Operate (ATO).
No identity record ever touches a non-FedRAMP-authorized environment at any point in the collection, processing, or retention lifecycle. Each record carries a cryptographic chain-of-custody log showing every system access, API read, and human adjudicator action, so contractors can produce a complete audit package for DCSA or CMMC Level 2 auditors on demand without manual reconstruction.
NFC Chip and OCR Document Extraction
Verifyfed's mobile document capture flow supports NFC chip reading from e-passports and Real ID-compliant driver's licenses for the highest assurance extractions, with an optical character recognition fallback for documents issued before NFC adoption.
Extracted fields — full legal name, date of birth, document number, issuing authority, expiration date — are auto-populated into the verification record without coordinator rekeying. The extraction is validated against the document's Machine Readable Zone or chip data to detect alterations before cross-referencing against AAMVA and SSA verification feeds.
Liveness and Injection Attack Detection
The selfie capture step requires an active liveness challenge — a short randomized motion sequence that defeats pre-recorded video replay and digital injection attacks. The captured frame is matched against the photo on the verified identity document using a face-comparison model benchmarked at a false match rate below 0.01% at the 1-in-1,000 assurance threshold.
Injection attack signals — virtual camera driver fingerprints, emulator artifacts, or frame-metadata inconsistencies — are flagged as high-risk exceptions routed to a human adjudicator queue rather than auto-rejected, preserving due process for legitimate edge cases.
AAMVA and SSA Cross-Reference
Verifyfed queries the AAMVA MVAConnect network to confirm that the extracted driver's license data matches the issuing state DMV's current record for the presented document number and date of birth.
For Social Security Number verification, Verifyfed integrates with SSA's Consent-Based SSN Verification service — the employee's SSN is verified against SSA records using a consent form signed during the onboarding flow, producing an SSA CBSV response code stored in the verification audit package. Both checks complete within 90 seconds of document submission.
Onboarding Workflow Orchestration
The Verifyfed coordinator dashboard shows every active onboarding workflow as a kanban-style pipeline: document collection initiated, liveness check complete, DMV verification returned, SSA CBSV confirmed, adjudication decision logged, package delivered to HRIS.
Deadline alerts notify coordinators when a workflow has been stalled at a step for more than 24 hours. For contractors managing multiple programs with different clearance-level timelines, workflows can be tagged by program and contract vehicle, enabling program managers to report onboarding throughput per contract at any point in the period of performance.
Audit-Ready Compliance Export
When a DCSA adjudicator, CMMC Level 2 assessor, or internal compliance officer requests a verification record, Verifyfed generates a structured audit package in under 60 seconds: verified document images with extraction metadata, AAMVA and SSA response codes, liveness check result with timestamp, face-comparison score, and full access-and-transform audit log.
The package exports as a signed PDF and a JSON manifest compatible with GRC platforms including Archer, ServiceNow GRC, and CMMC-AB assessment portals.
Verifyfed is designed for defense contractors, federal IT services firms, and CMMC-scoped organizations that onboard cleared or security-sensitive personnel under government contract requirements. If your organization manages DCSA personnel security submissions, CMMC Level 2 onboarding documentation, or FedRAMP-scoped contractor access provisioning, and you currently run that process with a combination of manual document collection and commercial HR tools that were not designed for a FedRAMP boundary, Verifyfed closes that gap. Our typical customer has between twenty-five and two hundred cleared personnel onboarding per year across multiple contract vehicles.
