ValidSoft Limited is the world’s leading provider of telecommunications-based authentication and transaction verification solutions for financial services and government organisations. As the banking and payments world, in particular, begins to converge onto smart telecommunications-based devices, the ValidSoft integrated security platform, built solely on a real-time zero client-footprint model, allows organisations to leverage these convergence devices to provide visible and invisible security layers for all transaction channels, whilst also providing protection where the device itself is the channel.
This integrated platform, using proprietary technologies including Out-of-Band authentication and transaction verification, Proximity Correlation Logic, Pseudo Device Theft detection and biometric voice verification, allows organisations to protect all of their customer transaction channels within a single platform. This combination of technologies provides solutions from simply detecting SIM Swap fraud through to the world’s first commercially available Four-factor authentication solution. Internet banking, M-banking, Mobile Wallet, Mobile Payments, Card-present, card-not-present, NFC, citizen online services and more are all supported through either one or more of these integrated telecommunications-based techniques.

European Privacy Seal
The ValidSoft platform is also built on privacy, an underlying principle in all our solutions. ValidSoft was the first security company in the world to be awarded a prestigious European Privacy Seal; EuroPriSe. It has now been awarded two seals, one in March 2010 for the VALid-POS card-present fraud detection solution and in September 2011 for VALid-4F, the four-factor authentication and transaction verification solution that incorporates both biometric voice verification and Proximity Correlation Logic; knowing where someone is or isn’t. The second Seal confirms the company’s ability to maintain the highest privacy standards in its work with citizens’ information when contracted by financial services organizations and government departments
In March 2011, ValidSoft was also awarded a registered data controller with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office.
ValidSoft’s strategic partnership with Elephant Talk
ValidSoft was acquired by Elephant Talk (ET) in March 2010. ET is a telecommunications company that can service the needs of ValidSoft’s requirements to deliver its leading solutions whilst also providing a platform to enable ValidSoft to process up to 400,000 transactions per second, to “carrier grade” level (i.e. industry standards in telecommunications). Equally, ET is itself a leading provider of MVNE/MVNO software that offers ValidSoft the opportunity to service the security layer needs of this capability. Whilst the synergies between a telecommunications security solutions provider and an innovative telecommunications company may seem obvious, our growing Intellectual Property capability bears testament to this. As the convergence towards the smart phone crystallizes, the need for the security is paramount, and telecommunications is at the core of the capability. Together, ValidSoft and ET innovate, leveraging each other’s core capabilities and strengths, to be the global leaders in managing and securing the mobile cloud.
