About
Identity Is Your Perimeter.
AuthDuty was founded to solve a problem every IT team knows: verifying employee identity during critical moments shouldn't be slow, insecure, or undocumented.
The Problem
Helpdesks Are Under Attack
High-profile breaches at MGM, Caesars, and Twilio were all traced back to the same root cause: attackers social-engineering the helpdesk. Most teams have no dedicated tooling to stop it.
Social Engineering
Attackers impersonate employees over phone or chat. Without out-of-band verification, helpdesk agents can't tell the difference.
Slow, Ad-hoc Processes
Security questions, manager callbacks, and email chains waste time. Locked-out employees sit idle while IT scrambles for confidence.
No Audit Trail
When a verification happens over Slack or a phone call, there's no record. Compliance teams are left with nothing to review.
Leadership
Built by a Security Practitioner

Our Approach
Purpose-Built Identity Verification
AuthDuty gives IT and security teams a fast, secure way to verify employee identity - with a compliance-ready audit trail for every interaction.
Out-of-band Verification
Verification happens on a separate channel from the request - SMS, email, or browser - so a compromised channel can't approve itself.
Six Verification Methods
Combine SMS OTP, email confirmation, government ID, selfie match, manager approval, and custom security questions - all in one flow.
Complete Audit Trail
Every verification is logged with timestamps, methods used, and results. Exportable records for SOC 2, ISO 27001, and internal compliance.
Our Values
What We Believe
Security First
Every design decision starts with "does this make verification more trustworthy?" If it doesn't, we don't ship it.
Speed Matters
A locked-out employee is an unproductive employee. Verification should take seconds, not hours of back-and-forth.
Transparency Always
Per-request pricing with no hidden fees. Full audit trails with no gaps. You should always know what you're paying for and exactly what happened.
Built for Teams That Take
Security Seriously.
