ID.me Announces Secure Identity Verification Solution for California Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) Compliance

MCLEAN, Va., Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ID.me, the industry leader in secure online Identity verification, today announced an identity proofing and authentication solution for businesses required to comply with the upcoming California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). ID.me's highly secure platform empowers businesses to streamline identity verification to get compliant with CCPA as well as reduce the risks associated with data breaches and hacks. More than four million California residents already have ID.me accounts, ensuring seamless integration into CCPA compliance software and consumer-facing portals.
