Identity Proofing Solutions
Aderas’ Identity Proofing (IdP) team utilizes AWS public cloud, AWS GovCloud and other cloud environments to deploy their Federal IdP solution. Our solution utilizes microservices running on AWS to integrate calls to our FedRAMP and/or NIST compliant IdP sources for both proofing and validation of data from the identity documents. The Serverless Cloud environment can be stood up with a single, 100% automated script. Our Single Page Application (SPA) built on React integrates with the microservices to provide a complete secure solution that is portable between cloud environments. The React application captures both Document images and processes the Facial Recognition and Liveness detection. Our team utilizes GitHub Actions to integrate security and code scanning tools into the CD/CI pipeline. In addition, our microservices are built on cross platform languages which have large libraries to easily support extensions.
We utilize Agile user stories and follow NIST SP 800-63-3 Digital Identity Guidelines. Because our solution is built using microservices and workflows, backend components can be added or swapped out as the need arises to adapt to the evolving landscape for digital identities. Aderas’ Identity proofing requirements are based on NIST best practices for remote Identity Assurance Level (IAL) at Level 2.

We have experience transitioning customers from DoD DIACAP to RMF processes in order to achieve the initial ATOs, and updates to ATOs, for their enterprise systems.
On an ongoing basis, Aderas engineers manage and fulfill the Certification and Accreditation requirements for various Federal government systems. This involves initiation, security certification, security accreditation, and continuous monitoring. Initiation involves the control, verification, and validation of security activities. We perform independent assessments to ensure that the management, operational, and technical security controls of the IT systems are implemented correctly.

This certification means that Aderas goes beyond simply using the leading practices, standards, and frameworks such as ITIL®, COBIT®, Six Sigma, etc. Since ISO/IEC 20000 requires continuous surveillance audits, we are highly committed and motivated to keep our entire organization engaged and committed to quality-based Service Management processes. ISO/IEC 20000 offers internationally recognized best practices through an integrated process approach designed to meet the expectations of both businesses and customers. Specifically, the ISO/IEC 20000-1 standard sets forth the structural requirements from service planning and delivery to resolution and release management, along with resources and controls throughout the service lifecycle. ISO/IEC 20000-1:2011 certification ensures that Aderas consistently follows processes and records results of various Operations & Maintenance activities such as: 1) Service Delivery Management; 2) Relationship Management; 3) Control Management; 4) Resolution Management and 5) Release Management.
