OneVisage

Based in Switzerland, OneVisage is a cybersecurity firm focused on developing universal strong customer authentication (SCA) technologies. The company was founded in 2013 by Christophe Remillet, who serves as CEO, and Ronni Guggenheim. Remillet's motivation to start the company stemmed from personal experiences in 2013 with his credit card and email being hacked. The firm aims to combat digital identity theft by providing advanced authentication solutions to large IT integrators, hardware manufacturers, cybersecurity vendors, and Identity & Access Management (IAM) providers.

OneVisage operates on a business-to-business (B2B) model, offering its technology as OEM solutions and Software Development Kits (SDKs). This enables their clients, such as financial institutions and e-commerce platforms, to integrate 3D facial authentication into their own applications and services running on standard consumer smartphones. The core of their offering is a 3D facial biometry technology that functions on both Android and iOS devices, aiming to provide a consistent and secure user experience across platforms. The technology is designed to be a more robust alternative to traditional security measures like passwords and PINs, which are susceptible to various cyber-attacks.

The company's product line includes the Premier Face SDK for 3D facial biometry and solutions for secure onboarding, access control, and application logins. OneVisage's technology can perform a 3D facial scan and authentication in seconds and is designed to give end-users control over their biometric data, with no centralized biometric database in the cloud. The firm has engaged in partnerships with companies like globaliD and has been recognized with several awards, including the Edison Awards and the Worldline e-Payments Challenge. It has received seed funding from investors such as Venture Kick, Polytech Ventures, and SICPA.
