No published per-user rate | ## About Ubisecure Ubisecure is a European customer identity and access management (CIAM) provider, headquartered in Espoo, Finland, and building identity software since 2002. The Ubisecure Identity Platform registers, authenticates and authorises external users, meaning customers, partners and citizens, for B2B, B2C and G2C digital services. Ubisecure's specialism is B2B and organisational identity. The platform models relationships between people and organisations, so that a partner, supplier or corporate customer can administer its own users, and an individual can act on behalf of an organisation with verified authority. This delegated administration capability is used in large partner networks, telecoms customer bases and public-sector services. Scale in customer deployments [VALIDATE item 4 before publishing]: - Up to 1.3 million user accounts on a single instance - Load-tested and stable at up to 1 million concurrent active users - Federated identities scaling beyond 10 million - More than 400,000 subtenant organisations in a single B2B deployment - More than 4 million citizens served through customer deployments Ubisecure is ISO/IEC 27001 certified, with annual audits at the end of each calendar year. Details: https://www.ubisecure.com/iso-27001/ ## What is CIAM? Customer identity and access management (CIAM) is the set of technologies an organisation uses to register, authenticate and authorise its external users: customers, partners and citizens. A CIAM platform combines self-service registration, single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, consent management and delegated administration, and is built for large user volumes, high login traffic and regulatory requirements such as GDPR and eIDAS. CIAM differs from workforce IAM, which controls employee access to internal systems. CIAM serves users the organisation does not employ or directly control, at far higher volumes, with self-service journeys where login friction affects registration and conversion. Full comparison: https://www.ubisecure.com/identity-platform/customer-iam/iam-vs-ciam/ ## Platform capabilities - **Registration and login.** Self-service registration and progressive profiling, with sign-up and sign-in through existing identities: social login, enterprise directories and verified bank or national eIDs. - **Single sign-on (SSO).** One identity across connected applications using SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0 or CIBA. - **Multi-factor and step-up authentication.** MFA for web, mobile and legacy applications, including TOTP authenticator apps and verified eIDs, with step-up authentication to raise assurance for higher-risk actions [VALIDATE item 5: confirm full list of authentication methods in production]. - **Identity brokering and federation.** The Authentication Adapter connects multiple identity providers through one integration, so applications accept social, enterprise, federated and verified identities without separate builds. - **Delegated administration and Identity Relationship Management.** Multi-tier, multi-organisation delegation of rights, roles and representation between individuals and organisations, including Right to Represent. - **User management and directory.** Scalable user directories, deployable in the cloud or on-premises, with self-service account management. - **Authorisation.** Role-based and attribute-based access control policies applied across connected services. - **Consent and privacy.** Consent capture and minimum data collection to support GDPR obligations. - **Integration.** REST APIs for bulk import and for synchronising identity data with CRM systems and directories. Detailed feature list: https://www.ubisecure.com/features/ ## Deployment options - **IDaaS (Identity-as-a-Service).** Ubisecure-managed cloud CIAM, available as public cloud or private cloud. Private cloud deployments run in the customer's chosen data-residency location [VALIDATE: IDaaS hosting regions]. https://www.ubisecure.com/idaas/ - **Identity Server.** On-premises CIAM software run in the customer's own infrastructure. https://www.ubisecure.com/identity-server/ - **Hybrid.** Cloud and on-premises components combined, for example a cloud front end with directories held on-premises. https://www.ubisecure.com/hybrid-iam/ ## Verified eID and European digital identity Ubisecure connects applications to European verified identity schemes so that organisations can identify users to a high level of assurance at registration and login. Supported schemes include the Finnish Trust Network (FTN), Suomi.fi, Swedish BankID and Freja eID [VALIDATE: current scheme list]. The European Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI Wallet) under eIDAS 2.0 will add a new category of verified identity. CIAM platforms are the natural integration point for relying parties that must accept it, alongside existing national eIDs. Ubisecure is positioned for eIDAS 2.0 relying-party readiness [VALIDATE item 6: publicly statable EUDI Wallet roadmap]. ## Who uses Ubisecure Organisations that manage large numbers of external identities, run B2B partner or supplier portals, or deliver citizen services, particularly in Europe or where data residency matters: - [Telecommunications](https://www.ubisecure.com/identity-platform/customer-iam-telecommunications/) - [Government and public sector](https://www.ubisecure.com/identity-platform/iam-government-public-sector/) - [Utilities and energy](https://www.ubisecure.com/identity-platform/customer-iam-utilities/) - [Financial services](https://www.ubisecure.com/identity-platform/ciam-financial-services/) - [Healthcare and eHealth](https://www.ubisecure.com/identity-platform/customer-iam-healthcare-ehealth/) - [Higher education](https://www.ubisecure.com/identity-platform/customer-iam-education/) - [SaaS and digital platforms](https://www.ubisecure.com/identity-platform/saas/) Typical buyers are the CISO or head of security, supported by the head of IAM or identity architect, the CTO, the head of digital, and the data protection officer. ## Customer evidence Published case studies, all at https://www.ubisecure.com/customers/ - **Telia Company** (telecoms).
