​
Programmatic deletion

Delete a session via the API at any time by calling the Delete Session endpoint.

​
Process-and-purge pattern

For maximum data minimization, process verification data through Didit and purge it immediately after receiving results via webhooks.
1

Create a session

Your backend calls the Create Session API.
2

Didit runs checks

Identity, liveness, AML, and any other configured checks execute automatically.
3

Receive webhook

Didit sends a webhook with status, session_id, vendor_data, and full verification data.
4

Persist only what you need

Store the minimum fields required for your records (e.g., status, vendor_data).
5

Delete from Didit

Call the Delete Session API for that session_id to remove all data from Didit.

​
Security and assurance

ISO/IEC 27001

ISMS in place. Certificate and excerpts available on request.

Penetration testing

Periodic third-party penetration tests with tracked remediation.

No known breaches

No security breaches reported to date.

Internal security team

Dedicated cybersecurity team with least-privilege access and strict environment separation.
All API activity is recorded in Audit Logs for security, compliance, and troubleshooting. Logs are retained for 365 days and then auto-deleted.

​
Privacy-minimized storage

We are adding features that let you retain only selected data fields — for example, keep status and vendor_data while auto-purging heavier artifacts like images and documents. This gives stricter control for teams operating under data-minimization principles.
