Giesecke+Devrient (G+D), a global leader in SecurityTech, has signed a strategic partnership with Daon, the Digital Identity Trust company. This global collaboration is designed to deliver cutting-edge identity verification (IDV) and biometric authentication solutions across multiple industries, reinforcing secure and seamless digital experiences for customers and partners around the world.
The partnership merges G+D’s digital security portfolio with Daon’s proven TrustX platform to provide highly secure, end-to-end identity continuity for both public and private sector applications. This includes solutions for financial institutions, mobile network operators (MNOs), and government digital ID programs such as eID schemes, mobile driver’s licenses, and digital identity ecosystems.
Transforming Identity Security in Financial Services
In today’s evolving digital finance landscape, fragmented identity systems, increasing regulatory demands, and AI-driven fraud threats are major concerns. A majority of fraud incidents stem from weak or outdated identity management systems.
G+D’s move to integrate Daon’s identity management technology represents a strategic shift—from a legacy of physical cards and digital payments to a core focus on trusted identity. This collaboration delivers identity assurance across the entire customer journey—from onboarding and transaction authentication to secure account recovery. Enhanced fraud prevention features such as biometric watchlists and AI-powered deepfake detection bolster the platform’s security.
One standout innovation is Convego® TAP, G+D’s secure identity recovery solution. It allows banks to implement phishing-resistant recovery using hardware-based authentication. Customers simply tap a trusted card to initiate step-up authentication—ideal for secure device replacement or account recovery during loss or theft.
Boosting eSIM Security for Mobile Operators
The partnership also expands into the telecom sector. By integrating Daon’s TrustX platform with G+D’s industry-leading eSIM management technology, mobile network operators can now streamline eSIM issuance and enhance security. This unified solution helps combat SIM fraud and improves the customer verification process while maintaining regulatory compliance.
As a global pioneer in SIM and eSIM innovation, G+D is now embedding identity verification directly into mobile ecosystems—providing an essential tool for operators navigating the complex landscape of digital identity and mobile security.
Leaders Committed to Digital Trust and Innovation
“Security has always been at the core of G+D’s mission,” said Gabriel von Mitschke-Collande, Chief Digital Officer of Giesecke+Devrient. “Our collaboration with Daon brings together deep expertise in secure digital transactions and digital identity trust. Together, we’re delivering seamless identity continuity and setting a new benchmark in fraud prevention, compliance, and user experience.”
Tom Grissen, CEO of Daon, added, “G+D has a remarkable track record of driving secure innovations—from the first commercial SIM card to Central Bank Digital Currency. This partnership allows us to scale our secure identity and biometric technologies to millions of users across sectors that demand both security and simplicity.”
