FPT eID and the Journey to Achieve International Standards in Identity Data Security

In the digital era, identity data has emerged as the cornerstone of every electronic transaction. As banking, e-commerce, and public services increasingly rely on identity verification, securing identity data is no longer a choice but a prerequisite for maintaining customer trust and ensuring regulatory compliance. Against this backdrop, the journey toward international certification by Vietnamese digital identity solutions such as FPT eID plays a vital role - not only affirming technological capability but also establishing a “trust passport” for both domestic and international partners.

Why Do International Standards Matter for Identity Data?

International standards in information security and biometrics serve as objective benchmarks to assess the security capabilities of a solution. For enterprises and organizations, achieving certifications such as ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security Management System) or ISO/IEC 30107-3 (Biometric Presentation Attack Detection) represents a commitment to rigorous processes of control, encryption, access management, and continuous auditing. Independent certifications such as those from iBeta or accredited laboratories like Bixelab will validate the system’s ability to detect deepfakes, spoofed images or videos, and assess face recognition accuracy. In an era of increasingly sophisticated cyberattacks, international standards have become a universal measure of trust among customers, financial institutions, and regulators.

FPT eID’s Standardization Journey

FPT eID, the electronic identity platform developed by FPT, has proactively pursued international compliance from the earliest stages of product development. This journey extends beyond technical excellence which encompasses operational transformation, risk management, and transparent data governance.

A key milestone was achieving ISO/IEC 30107-3 Level 1 certification, followed by ISO/IEC 30107-3 Level 2 for biometric anti-spoofing and ISO/IEC 19795-2 for face comparison technology. These certifications recognize FPT eID’s ability to detect and prevent biometric spoofing attacks at globally recognized levels. Additionally, verifications by iBeta and other biometric testing laboratories have validated its robustness against real-world spoofing scenarios. These achievements, publicly announced by FPT eID, demonstrate transparency and accountability, enabling safe integration within high-compliance environments such as banking and financial services.

Core Technologies Safeguarding Identity Data

To earn these certifications, FPT eID employs a suite of advanced security technologies and stringent governance processes. At the infrastructure layer, all data is protected with multi-layer encryption during transmission and storage, combined with strict access control policies and comprehensive activity logging.

At the identity verification layer, the system integrates OCR (Optical Character Recognition), face matching, and liveness detection to ensure that the individual performing the verification matches the ID document and cannot be deceived by printed images, video replays, or deepfakes.

Furthermore, AI-based anti-spoofing technology enables the system to learn from new attack patterns and continuously improve detection performance. Independent testing by international labs such as iBeta and Bixelab further validates the platform’s biometric performance under standardized benchmarks.

Legal Compliance and International Alignment

A critical aspect of FPT eID’s journey is harmonizing international standards with domestic legal frameworks. In Vietnam, regulations governing personal data protection and digital service security (via decrees and circulars) require organizations to meet both technical and governance-related criteria. FPT eID’s architecture is designed to comply with local laws while maintaining international compatibility, allowing banks and financial institutions to integrate seamlessly without facing legal or technical barriers.

Compliance with Circular 50/2024/TT-NHNN and other State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) guidelines on digital banking security further demonstrates FPT eID’s readiness to operate in high-risk, highly regulated environments.

Practical Value for Enterprises and End Users

When a platform like FPT eID achieves international certification and regulatory compliance, the benefits for enterprises and users are tangible. For banks and financial institutions, this translates into faster online account onboarding, reduced identity fraud, and enhanced compliance reporting. For end users, the assurance that their personal data is managed under internationally verified systems builds confidence, encourages digital engagement, and reduces hesitation in sharing sensitive information.

Moreover, international certification enables Vietnamese enterprises to connect more easily with global partners and participate in the global digital ecosystem - an increasingly critical factor in today’s interconnected economy.

Operational Execution: Continuous Audit, Monitoring, and Improvement

Certification marks the beginning of a continuous governance cycle, not just being a destination. FPT eID maintains regular internal audits and periodic third-party assessments, implements 24/7 monitoring to detect anomalies, and updates its AI anti-spoofing models in response to emerging attack techniques. This ensures that defense mechanisms remain agile and aligned with the evolving threat landscape.

Additionally, FPT eID applies the “human-in-the-loop” principle which allows human review in high-risk or uncertain cases to ensure a balance between automation and real-world reliability.

Conclusion: International Standards as the Foundation of Digital Trust

FPT eID’s journey toward international certification reflects a long-term commitment to technological investment, risk management, and operational transparency. As identity data becomes the foundation of every digital interaction, a domestically developed solution that meets global benchmarks not only elevates the provider’s credibility but also advances Vietnam’s broader digital ecosystem.
