Virtual NGO Chooses iDenfy to Protect Non-profit Organizations with Secure KYC Onboarding

iDenfy, a full-stack identity verification, compliance, and fraud prevention hub, has partnered with Virtual NGO, a US-based software company that helps license NGOs and non-profit organizations. This partnership is designed to solve specific industry challenges and address the operational needs of such entities by ensuring complete Know Your Customer (KYC) compliance. With iDenfy’s verification software, Virtual NGO plans to scale faster and onboard more users, accepting global projects without hassle. 

Virtual NGO chose iDenfy after a detailed review of leading identity verification providers. A key deciding factor was iDenfy’s track record in the industry’s position on the market. Through the partnership, Virtual NGO now leverages iDenfy’s full-stack identity verification suite, including biometric facial recognition, government-issued ID validation, and passive liveness detection. The system verifies users in seconds while blocking fraudulent access attempts before they ever reach the platform. With support for over 3,000 document types from 200+ countries, iDenfy enables Virtual NGO to onboard a truly global audience securely.

Virtual NGO has already integrated iDenfy’s verification flow into its SOS IRAN platform, giving the platform a robust defense against fake profiles, unauthorized access, and bot-based manipulation. The onboarding process remains simple for users; they snap a selfie, scan their ID, and receive their confirmation in seconds. Attempts to bypass the KYC flow are instantly rejected by iDenfy’s AI-powered software, which enables Virtual NGO to onboard its clients in less than a minute on average. This automated approach to the verification process helps save time and attracts more volunteers who are willing to participate in various NGO activities, helping other individuals in need. 

Currently, Virtual NGO focuses on empowering nonprofits by providing project-based digital infrastructure that allows volunteers and activists to collaborate securely across borders. Their latest initiative platform, SOS IRAN, is the first innovation to organize and support democracy as well as human rights in Iran. The website is built to provide a safe ecosystem for politically vulnerable individuals. For this reason, it required a highly secure and trusted identity verification solution, which focused on these key areas: global support of various ID documents, affordable pricing plans, and proper security and protection against threats like deepfakes and other fraudulent activities that are common in today’s digital landscape.

With automation and custom identity verification frameworks, Virtual NGO was able to customize its onboarding flow and tailor iDenfy’s templates to fit its industry needs. Additionally, one of the standout features of iDenfy’s solution before deciding to partner with the KYC business was its hybrid model. It combines powerful automation with a 24/7 human review team that ensures accuracy and fast handling of flagged cases. This is especially critical for platforms like SOS IRAN, where mistakes in identity checks can have serious consequences for activists’ safety and the platform’s credibility. 

According to Domantas Ciulde, the CEO of iDenfy, this switch for Virtual NGO will show instant advantages in user experience in terms of KYC and better conversions: “Our software is designed to block bypassing attempts, which are extremely harmful, as one mistake can lead to unwanted consequences, and our solution, with a hybrid approach, leaves no room for error, providing complete compliance and accuracy.”

It’s worth mentioning that iDenfy has been recognized as a top-performing provider in the ID verification space for several consecutive years, both for its technology and for customer satisfaction. iDenfy’s consistent recognition in G2 reports, its award-winning user onboarding automation tools, and its proven scalability made it the natural choice.

As online activism grows, so do the threats. According to the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), identity-related fraud cost global nonprofits over $5.4 billion in 2023. Politically engaged platforms are particularly vulnerable to impersonation, infiltration, and misinformed campaigns that can result in real-world harm.

“Ensuring the authenticity of every user is essential to protecting our platform’s integrity. Our mission is to create a secure environment where human rights and democracy advocates can collaborate safely and confidently, regardless of where they are in the world. We needed an IDV provider that balances robust security with user-friendly technology, and iDenfy exceeded our expectations,” said Dr. Iman Foroutan, the CEO of Virtual NGO and Chief Architect of SOS IRAN.

“Platforms supporting human rights and democratic movements face some of the most complex digital threats today. Our goal is to turn identity verification into a powerful layer of protection, not a barrier to participation,” added Domantas Ciulde, the CEO of iDenfy.
