# Introduction

**Hypersign** is a platform for building identity verification and compliance workflows into modern applications. Through a unified set of APIs, embeddable widgets, and webhook integrations, developers can integrate Know Your Customer (KYC), Know Your Business (KYB), identity verification, and decentralized identity (SSI) capabilities without building complex compliance infrastructure from scratch.

Whether you're building a fintech application, crypto exchange, marketplace, lending platform, RWA platform, or enterprise onboarding solution, Hypersign provides the components required to verify users and businesses while maintaining a privacy-first architecture.

### What you can build

With Hypersign, you can:

* Integrate KYC verification into your web or mobile application
* Verify businesses through KYB workflows
* Perform identity document verification and OCR
* Verify user liveness using biometric face authentication
* Run AML, sanctions, and PEP screening
* Collect user consent for regulatory compliance
* Receive real-time verification updates using webhooks
* Embed fully customizable KYC/KYB widgets
* Issue and verify W3C Verifiable Credentials
* Build privacy-preserving identity flows using Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)

### Privacy by Design

Hypersign is designed with privacy as a core principle.

Identity verification is performed without requiring businesses to build or manage their own verification infrastructure. Customer environments are logically isolated, while the platform supports decentralized identity workflows where users can retain ownership of their digital credentials. This architecture enables organizations to build compliant identity experiences while minimizing exposure to sensitive personal information.
