What MIA does

MIA (legally MIAid, incorporated in Florida, USA) is a digital identity platform company that builds self-sovereign identity (SSI) infrastructure to replace passwords, OTPs, and tokens with biometric and cryptographic authentication. Founded in 2024 with headquarters in Buenos Aires, Argentina and a regional office in Miami, Florida, the company serves enterprise, government, and consumer-facing use cases across financial services, healthcare, education, and public-sector identity programs in seven countries in the Americas.

The platform is organized around two core products — EVAN, an AI-powered biometric engine for facial recognition, passive liveness detection, and document scanning certified to NIST and iBeta ISO 30107-3 standards, and MIA Vault, a digital vault for issuing and managing W3C-compliant verifiable credentials — together with platform modules including Identity Rail (omnichannel onboarding SDK), Verify by MIA, Sign by MIA, and MIA Keys. The architecture relies on W3C decentralized identifiers (DIDs), DIDComm encrypted messaging, zero-knowledge proof cryptography, and blockchain-anchored audit trails. Named deployments include Colombia's National Police (PONAL) with 160+ integrated applications, Banco Macro, OSECAC, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Hospital Italiano, Hooli, and the Province of Neuquén.

MIA monetizes through tiered, multi-year SaaS subscriptions branded D.I.V.E., D.I.V.E.+, and D.I.V.E. PDI, with add-ons for advanced analytics and premium support. The company sells primarily through a consultative direct enterprise sales motion targeting regulated industries, with a partner channel program under development. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and no revenue, funding, or headcount-trend figures are publicly available.

Core offering

MIA provides a tokenized, omnichannel Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) platform that replaces passwords, OTPs, and tokens with biometric-verified, reusable digital identities for enterprise and government customers. The platform combines an AI biometric engine (EVAN), a digital credential vault (MIA Vault), and an omnichannel onboarding SDK (Identity Rail), sold as a tiered SaaS subscription (D.I.V.E., D.I.V.E.+, D.I.V.E. PDI) with add-ons for advanced analytics and premium support.

Product overview

MIA offers a comprehensive digital identity platform architecture centered on two core products: EVAN (AI-powered identity engine) and MIA Vault (digital credential management system), supplemented by multiple platform modules including Identity Rail, VERIFY by MIA, SIGN by MIA, and MIA Keys. The platform provides sector-specific solutions organized into three tiers: Customer-facing products (omnichannel onboarding, passwordless login, anti-phishing SCA, reusable digital identity, account recovery, Smile2 Pay), Employee-facing products (passwordless SSO, SSFA, adaptive intelligent access, partner access, digital approvals, MIA Keys), and Government-facing products (digital document issuance, omnichannel authentication, biometric digital signature, selective disclosure, digital approvals, government SSO). The platform operates on W3C self-sovereign identity (SSI) standards with DIDComm protocol for secure decentralized communication.

Emerging players

• HYPR: HYPR provides passwordless MFA based on FIDO/passkeys and decentralized authentication for workforce and consumer use cases. Closely overlaps with MIA's biometric passwordless and anti-phishing capabilities, focused specifically on eliminating shared secrets rather than broader IAM.
• Onfido: Onfido provides AI-driven digital identity verification, document scanning, and biometric checks for customer onboarding/KYC. Comparable to MIA's onboarding and KYC/AML modules within Identity Rail and EVAN, focused on the customer-onboarding stage of the identity lifecycle.
• iProov: iProov provides biometric face authentication with patented liveness detection (Genuine Presence Assurance) used by governments, banks, and travel operators. Direct functional overlap with MIA's EVAN engine and passive liveness certification to ISO 30107-3, though iProov focuses on the biometric engine rather than the full IAM stack.
• Beyond Identity: Beyond Identity offers a passwordless, device-bound identity platform using X.509/PKI certificates combined with device security signals. Overlaps with MIA on eliminating passwords and preventing phishing/ATO attacks for workforce and customer authentication.
• 1Kosmos: 1Kosmos delivers decentralized/blockchain-anchored identity verification and workforce MFA using W3C verifiable credentials and biometrics. Highly comparable to MIA's SSI + biometric authentication model, particularly in regulated financial services and government segments.

Direct peers

• Okta: Okta is the leading cloud-native identity and access management platform providing SSO, MFA, and CIAM to enterprises globally. It competes directly with MIA in passwordless SSO, workforce IAM, and customer identity use cases, though Okta focuses on standards-based federation (SAML/OIDC) rather than decentralized identifiers.
• ForgeRock: ForgeRock delivers a full identity platform (workforce, customer, and IoT) with AI-driven analytics and strong deployment in government and regulated enterprises. Comparable to MIA's horizontal IAM + government focus, though ForgeRock emphasizes traditional directory/identity store architecture versus MIA's SSI/biometric emphasis.
• Ping Identity: Ping Identity provides enterprise and customer IAM, federated identity, and increasingly decentralized identity tooling for regulated industries. It overlaps with MIA on SSO, MFA, identity verification, and is a relevant comparable given its focus on financial services and government customers.

Broad incumbents

• Microsoft Entra ID: Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) is the largest enterprise IAM platform, with deep integration into Microsoft 365 and a broad portfolio including Conditional Access and passwordless. It competes with MIA across enterprise SSO and customer identity but as part of a much wider identity and security portfolio rather than an SSI-first niche offering.
• IDEMIA: IDEMIA is a global leader in biometric identity, secure documents, and sovereign identity programs for governments and financial institutions. Overlaps with MIA on government-facing digital identity issuance, biometric authentication, and identity verification, but as a much larger incumbent covering physical + digital credentials.
