Your Background Checks Aren't Catching North Korean Operatives
DPRK IT workers don't fail identity checks — they pass them. Face-swapped documents, deepfaked interviews, and spoofed locations defeat traditional identity verification. Polyguard verifies the person, not just their paperwork.

How Polyguard Stops This
- Verifies the person, not just documents — Real-time facial recognition confirms the actual human on camera
- Cryptographic identity binding — Identity is bound to a real device and real location
- Verification before hiring — Trust Checks happen before the interview, not after
Key Benefits
High-Assurance Identity Proofing
Government ID with NFC cryptographic verification — not visual checks.
Device Integrity & Attestation
Prevents emulators, virtual cameras, and compromised devices.
Real-Time Facial Recognition
Designed for AI-manipulated documents and synthetic identities.
Audit-Ready Transaction Affidavits
Produces litigation-ready records for regulators and investigations.
Location Verification
Confirms where the worker actually is, not where they claim to be.
Workflow Integration
Fits directly into interviews and hiring — not bolted on afterward.
Eliminate Uncertainty Before Access Is Granted
Polyguard is the only platform that fuses multiple identity factors — person, document, device, location — into a single cryptographic proof and maintains that verified identity across every interaction. Patented PG-Presence technology closes attack surfaces no other system can see.
