About Sonavera
Hosted verification for high-risk account actions.
What we do
Sonavera is a hosted verification platform that helps applications confirm the right person is behind high-risk actions, including account recovery, privilege changes, and support-driven resets, before those actions go through.
We don't do document-based KYC. We answer two simpler questions: is this a real person, and is this the same person who enrolled?
We do that through a short, guided check that combines face and voice biometrics, liveness signals, and device and network fingerprinting, and then returns a signed, structured result your backend can trust.
Why now
A password reset, a support-driven email change, or a privilege escalation are exactly the moments attackers target, and they're usually protected by nothing more than an OTP or a manual review.
We think there should be a better option that's fast to integrate and doesn't require building a real-time verification stack from scratch.
