Indicio Proven® has been named the winner of the 2024 Global Tech Award for Data Technology, in a recognition of its groundbreaking innovation in how people and organizations authenticate, manage, and share identity data.

By Tim Spring

Indicio Proven makes it possible for individuals and organizations to securely hold, share, and verify identity data without reliance on third-party providers or centralized databases. Instead, data is stored locally on someone’s mobile device as tamper-proof Verifiable Credentials. This new digital authentication method uses cryptographic proofs to verify identity or attributes without exposing unnecessary personal information or requiring the verifier to check in with the original source of the information or a third-party identity provider. This means that data can be shared instantly and trusted as authentic—no complex integrations or backend checks required. 

Whether it is traveler identification, identity access management, or streamlining education records, Proven is a versatile solution that eliminates friction, enhances privacy, and drives efficiency. It ensures that data remains trusted, verifiable, and under the control of the user—offering a digital experience that is as easy as presenting a physical document but with far greater speed, security, and reliability.

“Being recognized with the Global Tech Award for Data Technology is a powerful validation of the work we’re doing at Indicio,” said Heather Dahl, CEO of Indicio. “Indicio Proven isn’t just solving today’s identity challenges—it’s redefining what’s possible in digital trust. By putting control back into the hands of users and delivering a solution that’s secure, scalable, and adaptable, we’ve set a new standard for data validation. This award underscores what our partners and customers already know: Indicio Proven is the future of verifiable, user-centric identity, and we’re leading that future.”

The awards were judged by representatives from Amazon, Capital One, Google Cloud, Microsoft, Oracle, and other companies.

Recently recognized in the Gartner Market Guide for Decentralized Identity and the Biometric Digital Identity Prism Project report for its “masterful” implementation of authenticated biometrics), Indicio is at the forefront of a global shift toward user-controlled digital identity, a market poised for explosive growth as organizations and governments seek solutions to enhance privacy, security, and trust. Indicio has designed Proven to work with current and emerging digital identity protocols and standards in Europe and around the world, and to give customers an easy way to combine credential formats in a single workflow to maximize features and benefits.

Indicio Proven has demonstrated its transformative power in several key industries. In travel, Proven was used in collaboration with SITA, Delta Airlines, and the Government of Aruba to enable seamless, secure international travel experiences using IATA One ID standards. For identity and access management, Proven Auth simplifies and strengthens login and verification processes, improving user experience while enhancing security. In financial services, Proven enables faster, more secure access to bank accounts and financial platforms by allowing users to share trusted, verified identity credentials directly from their mobile devices.

With a proven track record of partners and collaborations, Indicio has a clear vision for a more user-friendly future for data and identity verification and is setting the foundation for a more secure, interconnected digital economy.
