Innovation meets individuality – InnoValor B.V. benefits from four certifications with a one-time effort.
Special products deserve special solutions.
The ability to digitally verify the identity of natural persons using their ID documents is now essential, especially in the field of trust services. The Dutch FinTech company InnoValor B.V. has made this its mission and offers an innovative yet straightforward identity verification solution with its software ReadID. This solution leverages the capabilities of modern ID documents equipped with NFC chips, in combination with the NFC technology in smartphones.
Initial situation
InnoValor has been certified according to the ISO 27001 standard for several years, but set itself the goal of going beyond this foundational certification to demonstrate the security of its ReadID software. The aim was to stand out from competitors and further strengthen the already high level of trust among its customers.
To achieve this, the company brought in TÜV TRUST IT as an independent expert. Using a new audit approach, InnoValor underwent a single assessment covering four key standards — successfully.
Following excellent results, TÜV TRUST IT awarded a modular certificate for trust services under eIDAS, a modular certificate for eID schemes under eIDAS, as well as an ISO 27001 certificate for the information security management system and an ISO 27701 certificate for data protection within the ISMS to the responsible parties at InnoValor.
Approach
The concept applied by TÜV TRUST IT in this project was custom-tailored specifically for InnoValor and individually adapted to the company’s framework conditions and customer needs. For the first time, a combined audit was conducted in a single assessment process, covering the following standards and regulations:
- eIDAS for eID schemes,
- eIDAS for trust services,
- ISO 27001 (Information Security Management System), and
- ISO 27701 (Privacy Information Management System).
This approach proved to be both cost- and time-efficient compared to conducting separate audits for each standard.
TÜV TRUST IT managed the entire coordination of the project and impressed with perfectly organized project management—from the development of the concept and initial preparatory measures to the final handover of the obtained certificates.
Thanks to the excellent audit results, InnoValor can now clearly differentiate itself from competitors in various areas with its ReadID solution. For example, the ISO 27701 certification demonstrates compliance with the GDPR and highlights the company’s strong commitment to data protection, especially when handling sensitive personal data.
The company is particularly proud of the eIDAS certification for trust services, which is not only relevant for providers of such services but also assures other InnoValor clients that ReadID meets the highest level of assurance (LoA high) for identity verification under eIDAS eID.
Your Benefits
Customers who use ReadID work with highly sensitive personal data. With this innovative solution, they now benefit not only from a completely new approach to fast identity verification, but also from one that offers proven and certified security.
TÜV TRUST IT draws a very positive conclusion:
“The project went exceptionally well from start to finish, and we are pleased that the audit was completed with truly outstanding results—especially in terms of the quality of documentation and the implemented processes.
With its innovative and now certified product ReadID, InnoValor is one of the first technology providers in the field of identity verification to offer a certified, automated identity verification software for use by trust service providers under eIDAS, as well as within eIDAS-compliant eID schemes.
As independent auditors, we warmly congratulate them on this achievement!”

Bob Hulsebosch, Compliance Manager at InnoValor, praised the highly professional project and time management throughout the entire process. He emphasized that the individually developed audit approach not only resulted in significant cost and time savings for his company:
“Thanks to our certification, qualified eID and trust service providers under eIDAS who use ReadID no longer need to repeat the audit process themselves, as their auditors can now rely on our eIDAS module certification.
That’s why we are especially pleased to have been able to carry out this project in such a tailored way together with TÜV TRUST IT—an independent auditing organization in the field of IT security as well as eID and trust services.”
