RESTON, Va., July 30, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Regula, a global developer of identity verification solutions, has been recognized in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Identity Verification for its ability to execute and completeness of vision. Regula deploys entirely on customer-provided infrastructure, with no dependency on cloud services, giving clients a high degree of control over data residency and processing.
For organizations in regulated industries, identity verification is becoming part of a broader data governance and risk management environment. Accuracy and fraud detection remain essential, but businesses also need to understand how identity evidence is assessed, how risk policies shape outcomes, and how decisions can be reviewed and explained.
Built for organizations that keep identity data in-house
Recognized by Gartner as a Niche Player, Regula addresses this need by enabling organizations to run identity verification within the infrastructure they control. This allows them to keep sensitive identity data, processing, storage, and verification workflows in-house while meeting security, privacy, data residency, and compliance requirements.
This approach gives organizations the flexibility to adapt identity verification to their infrastructure, regulatory obligations, risk profile, and customer journeys rather than having these conditions dictated by an external verification environment. This is particularly valuable for organizations operating in highly regulated industries and regions with strict data residency requirements.
“Giving organizations control over their identity verification environment is not simply another deployment option. It means giving them control over where identity data is processed, how verification policies are applied, and how identity decisions are made. As regulatory and operational requirements become more complex, such control is becoming as important as verification accuracy itself,” says Ihar Kliashchou, Chief Technology Officer at Regula.
Advancing identity verification for future needs
Alongside the data control capabilities, Regula continues to expand its identity verification platform to address the evolving needs of regulated organizations. Recent updates include the launch of Regula IDV Platform, bringing together identity verification, low-code workflow orchestration, risk-based verification, AML screening, and third-party integrations in a single environment. This enables organizations to build and adapt identity verification processes without compromising control over their infrastructure or data.
The company continues to invest in the platform roadmap, with upcoming capabilities including Know Your Business (KYB) to help organizations verify legal entities, build business profiles, and strengthen fraud prevention and compliance workflows.
