Risk Mitigation

Identified Risks

1. Deepfake/Impersonation

   • Mitigation: Passive + active liveness, random challenge prompts, manual backstop

2. Jurisdictional Friction

   • Mitigation: Limit onboarding in high-risk geographies, public risk matrix, geoblocking where mandated

3. Key Compromise

   • Mitigation: Offline root, M-of-N custody, regular drills, revocation status lists with short TTL

4. Over-collection of Data

   • Mitigation: DPIA-driven minimization, redact KYC artifacts after SLA
