*FinLab AG: AUTHADA receives certificate as identification service provider
*
*The identification service of AUTHADA GmbH has been assessed and confirmed
according to the Technical Guidelines of the German Federal Office for
Information Security. As of March 20, 2020, AUTHADA is now a certified
service provider for the eID function.*
Darmstadt/Frankfurt, March 31st, 2020 - As of March 20, 2020, AUTHADA GmbH,
a portfolio company of Frankfurt-based FinLab AG (ISIN: DE0001218063;
Ticker: A7A.GR), has been officially certified by the German Federal Office
for Information Security (BSI) according to TR-03128 as service provider for
the eID function. For this certification, the compliance of the
identification service of AUTHADA GmbH was checked against the Technical
Guideline BSI TR-03128 and confirmed by the BSI.
The certification as an identification service provider entitles AUTHADA now
to perform identifications for its customers for all business purposes. This
means in particular: Previously, AUTHADA GmbH was limited, while working on
behalf of its clients, to regulated markets (with a legal basis for the
collection of identity data) when identifying persons using their electronic
identity (eID). For example, when opening a current account, a new customer
identifies himself to the bank with the digital identification solution from
AUTHADA. Here the legal basis for identification is the Anti-Money
Laundering Act (AMLA). The new certification broadens the usability of the
electronic identification immensely; the identification solution can now be
used in the financial sector and the insurance and telecommunications
industry, as well as in eCommerce, eHealth, eBetting or in the mobility
sector.
"Through the certification as a service provider for the eID function,
AUTHADA GmbH will be able to develop markets that are not subject to
regulation - such as the eCommerce industry - in addition to regulated
markets such as the financial sector," says Andreas Plies, CEO and
co-founder of AUTHADA GmbH. "The opening of new markets for AUTHADA in this
way means an enormously positive development, which will have a noticeable
effect on the company's growth.
The basis for certification as a service provider for the eID function was
already established last year: With the official certification according to
ISO/IEC 27001 by TÜV PROFICERT, the certification body of TÜV
Hessen, received in October 2019, the certification process was initiated,
which has now been successfully completed: AUTHADA is an identification
service provider (IDA) according to the Technical Guideline of the Federal
Office for Information Security BSI TR-03128.
*About AUTHADA GmbH:*
AUTHADA is a Darmstadt-based cybersecurity startup founded in May 2015.
AUTHADA's identification solutions build on the electronic identity card's
eID functionality. With the help of a mobile or stationary NFC-enabled
smartphone, people can be identified in seconds remotely or on site. The
company is legally compliant in accordance with German and EU legislation
and user compliant based on the certification of identification security
solutions by the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI). With
its eID service, AUTHADA now offers a leading technology that has already
been implemented by a range of well-established customers. AUTHADA is an
ISO/IEC 27001 certified company since October 2019. This international
information security standard ensures that AUTHADA complies with extensive
information security requirements and conforms with stringent data
protection measures.
