Vendor numbers are usually measured on clean, familiar data. Our work shows detectors that score near-perfect on those benchmarks dropping to barely better than a coin flip against unseen attacks and platform-recompressed media. The question is not whether the number is high, it is whether it holds against what is actually coming.
Internal teams test what they know how to build and inherit the same blind spots as the system under test. We bring a pre-registered taxonomy, balanced demographic coverage, and attacker-realistic budgets. Findings are exhibits, not anecdotes.
A severity-ranked findings package, audit-ready exhibits for each finding, a working session with engineering, and a written report that holds up in front of a board or a regulator. Pre-registration locks scope before week one.
No. Your model and any data you share stay inside the engagement. Because consent rules forbid training biometric models on data without permission, a neutral third party that holds the attacks is often the only practical way to get an honest result.
Yes, on an annual retainer. We retest quarterly against new attacker releases and track where each detector loses ground, by attack class and demographic group.
Our independence is structural. A vendor cannot pay to raise its score or its place in the benchmark, the methodology is published and fixed before each engagement begins, and the buyer of an evaluation owns the report. We have no detection product of our own to protect. When we point you to the detector that performs best for your use case, that call is driven by the measured results and nothing else. If we ever earn a referral or share revenue with a vendor, we disclose it, and it never moves a number or changes which model the data names as best.
Detection vendors who need independent validation, identity-verification and KYC providers, hiring and interview platforms, red-team firms, and enterprise security leaders. In short, anyone whose fraud defense leans on a detector.
