Learn about secure Digital Identity from the Meerkat
The strategy meerkats teach
Meerkat colonies survive through constant vigilance. Sentinels stand watch while others work, rotating duties every hour to maintain 24/7 protection. Every colony member is known and recognized instantly—strangers are immediately detected.
Your Identity Security challenge
Billions lost annually to identity fraud across Africa.
Ghost employees and people drain government and business budgets.
Manual verification takes 30 minutes per person while people queue for hours. 40% of people lack digital service access because paper-based systems can't scale or reach rural populations.
Traditional identity approaches—paper ID books, manual verification, physical service centres—simply cannot meet modern demands.
How Digital Identity works
Digital Identity provides meerkat-like vigilance at any scale for all types of identities:
1. Citizen identities
- Secure creation and lifecycle management of digital credentials
- Strong identity proofing at issuance using document verification, biometrics, and authoritative data sources
- Cryptographic protection to prevent forgery, duplication, or tampering
- Risk‑based MFA leveraging biometrics, mobile credentials, and hardware‑backed authentication
- Context‑aware authentication based on device, location, and behaviour
- Reduced reliance on passwords, lowering phishing and credential theft risks
- Secure, single digital identity for accessing multiple government services
- Fine‑grained access controls aligned to citizen entitlements and roles
- Interoperability across departments while maintaining data sovereignty
- Ongoing assessment of behaviour to detect identity misuse or impersonation
- Real‑time alerts and adaptive controls when anomalies are detected
- Supports Zero Trust principles for citizen service delivery
2. Workforce identities
Securing the modern, distributed, and hybrid workforce
- Centralised control over user access across applications, systems, and environments
- Automated joiner, mover, and leaver processes to prevent privilege creep
- Policy‑driven access aligned with job roles and business functions
-
Secure onboarding, access control, and offboarding of contractors, vendors, and partners
-
Time‑bound and purpose‑specific access to reduce supply‑chain risk
-
Visibility into non‑employee access across enterprise systems
-
Strong verification of workforce identities during onboarding and role changes
-
Biometric and document‑based proofing to reduce insider threats
-
Trusted identities from day one, even in remote or global deployments
- Real‑time visibility into access risk, compliance posture, and policy violations
- Metrics on identity health, exposure, and anomalous activity
- Enables informed decision‑making at executive and security leadership levels
3. Consumer identities
Balancing security, trust, and seamless digital experiences
Consumer identity security protects customers while ensuring frictionless access to digital services—where poor experience directly impacts revenue and brand trust.
-
Secure digital onboarding using automated document and biometric verification
-
Fraud prevention during account creation (synthetic identities, bots, deepfakes)
-
Faster, lower‑cost onboarding with reduced abandonment
-
Passwordless and adaptive authentication methods
-
Continuous assessment of login risk based on behaviour and context
-
Strong protection against account takeover (ATO) attacks
-
Transparent capture, storage, and enforcement of user consent
-
User control over data sharing in line with privacy regulations
-
Full auditability for regulatory compliance
-
Detection of anomalous access, transaction abuse, and identity misuse
-
Real‑time risk scoring across sessions and devices
-
Continuous learning to evolve with emerging fraud techniques
4. Non-human identities
Securing machines, workloads, and automated processes
Non‑human identities—APIs, service accounts, bots, containers, and IoT—now outnumber human identities and represent a rapidly growing attack surface
- Automated identification of non‑human identities across environments
- Visibility into shadow identities and unmanaged credentials
- elimination of blind spots in hybrid and cloud infrastructures
- Categorisation by type, privilege level, usage, and criticality
- Differentiation between high‑risk and low‑risk identities
- Enables prioritised security controls
- Clear assignment of accountability for every non‑human identity
- Prevents orphaned credentials and unmanaged access paths
- Aligns access with operational responsibility
- Continuous rotation, validation, and monitoring of credentials
- Least‑privilege access enforced dynamically
- Protection against lateral movement and automated abuse
Benefits and differentiators
-
Stronger cybersecurity protection: Acts as a frontline defence by leveraging multi‑factor authentication (MFA) and biometric verification to block automated attacks and significantly reduce the risk of account takeovers.
-
Operational efficiency: Automated digital onboarding accelerates user registration cutting customer acquisition and verification costs
-
Improved user experience: Single Sign‑On (SSO) and passwordless authentication eliminate password fatigue, enabling uninterrupted access to multiple services without repeated login challenges.
-
Regulatory compliance: Integrated auditing and reporting capabilities simplify adherence to global regulations such as POPIA, GDPR, and HIPAA—helping organizations avoid costly penalties and compliance risks.
-
Economic and social inclusion: Digital identity solutions extend access to essential services for unregistered or underserved populations, supporting remote participation in banking, healthcare, and government programs
