Shufti launches global compliance platform for identity checks and monitoring

Shufti has launched the Glocal Platform, a single compliance lifecycle management system for identity verification, fraud prevention, risk assessment and regulatory workflows across industries and regions. The London-based company says the platform is designed to help businesses scale into new markets without stitching together multiple vendors and local tools.

Why it matters: - Shufti is trying to replace the patchwork of regional compliance vendors that many global businesses use today. - The platform is meant to cut complexity for companies that need sign-up checks, ongoing monitoring and remediation across multiple markets. - A unified system could reduce vendor management, integration work and operational cost for regulated industries expanding internationally.

What happened: - Shufti launched the Shufti Glocal Platform in London on July 23, 2026. - The platform is a full compliance lifecycle management solution for identity verification, fraud prevention, risk assessment and regulatory compliance. - The platform is available now. - Shufti directs organizations to the company announcement for more information.

The details: - The Glocal Platform is built in-house on one shared global infrastructure. - The system is designed to adapt to an organization’s compliance strategy, customer journey and operational needs. - The platform supports data sovereignty and alignment with local regulatory and governance expectations. - The customer flow covers sign-up, KYC, authentication, AML screening, ongoing monitoring and remediation. - Shufti says the platform supports jurisdiction-specific regulations, document requirements, verification methods and industry use cases as core capabilities. - The company says businesses can use one global compliance operation across jurisdictions including Japan, Gibraltar, Australia and Argentina. - Shufti says the platform reflects experience working with more than 2,000 organizations worldwide. - Those customers span financial services, fintech, telecommunications, forex, e-commerce, gaming, marketplaces and other regulated industries. - Shufti says it supports identity verification across 240+ countries and territories. - The company says it processes 10,000+ document types in 150+ languages. - Shufti says its OCR accuracy is 99.7% across complex multilingual documents and non-Latin scripts, including Arabic, Devanagari, Chinese and Japanese. - The company’s portfolio includes KYC, KYB, AML screening, facial biometrics, passive liveness detection with iBeta PAD Level 3 certification, Video KYC, electronic identity verification, fraud prevention, authentication and continuous risk monitoring. - Shufti says it is certified under PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, GDPR and CCPA.

Between the lines: - The launch signals a push toward “glocal” compliance, where global infrastructure stays constant but local rules and document standards are built into the product. - Shufti is positioning compliance as a lifecycle problem, not a point-in-time identity check. - The messaging suggests the company wants to be the primary vendor for onboarding, monitoring and remediation instead of one tool in a larger stack. - The company frames multi-vendor compliance setups as expensive and inconsistent, which is a direct pitch to teams expanding across borders.

What's next: - Shufti will likely use the platform to target businesses entering new jurisdictions or adding new product lines. - The company says the platform is designed to help organizations build a unified compliance strategy across markets. - Further adoption will depend on how well the platform handles local regulatory changes and operational scale over time.

The bottom line: - Shufti is betting that global companies want one compliance system that can flex by market without adding another vendor every time they expand.**
