The Identity Crisis Has Arrived, But a New Approach Is Emerging

June 10, 2025

Blue Line

In 2024 alone, over 127,000 cases of identity fraud were logged in the UK, nearly 60% of all fraud tracked nationally.

Add to that the wave of recent cyber-attacks crippling trusted brands, from M&S and Co-op to Harrods and Coinbase, and it becomes clear that organisations are losing the ability to trust who they’re dealing with.

Identity is now the front line of cyber security, and static checks, PDFs, and help desk protocols aren’t built for the new challenges presented by AI and synthetic Identity scams.

The tactics used by modern attackers, combining breached data, automation, and deepfakes, are no longer just tools of espionage. They're being used to socially engineer support teams, spoof employees, and reroute payments in real time. Even biometric checks, once considered the gold standard, fall short when decoupled from live, cryptographically proven verification.


Quote Marks Blue

It’s time to reimagine identity not as a one-time check, but as a reusable credential, tied to a living, verifiable source of truth.


The Answer? Reusable Identity You Can Trust, Every Time

Origin Secured is launching a new product inspired by our unique Trust Engine technology that does just that: links a person’s verified identity to an Origin Secured Digital Licence, backed by live biometric verification and integrated with government-approved IDSPs. Once issued, the Digital Licence becomes a reusable, cryptographically signed credential, which is not just for one interaction but for every login, every call and every task.

Here’s what it means in practice:

  1. No more help desk impersonation.

    Staff don’t just say who they are, they prove it, cryptographically, every time.

  2. No central honeypots.

    Data stays with the individual. There is no central vault and no shared folders to breach.

  3. No more weak MFA fallback.

    Origin Secured Digital Licences eliminate the need to trust SMS, email, or call-based resets.

  4. No more paper trails.

    Right to Work checks, KYC, and Open Banking-based ID verification are all rolled into one reusable proof.

  5. No static PDFs.

    Proof is always live, up-to-date, and governed by cryptographic endorsements, instead of expired documents.

And the cost? From 25p per employee per month.

For that, organisations gain:

  1. Always-on identity assurance

  2. Automated compliance readiness

  3. Immunity from social engineering at the human layer

This Isn’t a New Layer. It’s a New Way of Thinking.

Every breach, every fraud statistic and every compromised account points to the same core flaw: we’re trusting identity checks that were never designed to be reused. The only way forward is to shift identity into something persistent, portable, and provable.

With Origin Secured, that future is no longer hypothetical, it is here.
