Implementing KYC and User Verification with Alex Grinman

May 9, 2024 by SED

Almost every application or system involves some sort of user onboarding. Increasingly, companies must implement know-your-customer and know-your-business compliance, or KYC and KYB, as part of that process. In addition, they often handle personal identifiable information, or PII.

Footprint is a developer platform that was co-founded by Alex Grinman for handling identity, security, fraud, and authentication.

Alex joins the show to talk about identity verification, security, compliance, Footprint’s frontend and backend design, and much more.

Gregor Vand is a security-focused technologist, and is the founder and CTO of Mailpass. Previously, Gregor was a CTO across cybersecurity, cyber insurance and general software engineering companies. He has been based in Asia Pacific for almost a decade and can be found via his profile at vand.hk.
