The evaluation also covers full-spectrum device intelligence, scam and APP fraud detection, and BioConfirm, Group-IB’s cryptographic per-action confirmation solution meeting EU PSD2 Strong Customer Authentication and dynamic linking requirements. The analyst described the fraud investigation interface as “top-notch”, with intuitive map and graph views. Group-IB holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type 2 certifications.
