The Department of Education is developing its own identity verification system. How does Sentinel 360 relate to that?

These solutions are complementary, not competitive. Identity verification answers the question: Who is this applicant? Sentinel 360 answers a different question: How is this individual behaving across institutions? A real, fully verified person can still engage in aid-seeking behavior that meets identity standards but raises serious concerns about intent. Sentinel 360 augments — not replaces — V4/V5 and other ID verification processes by adding behavior-based intelligence at national scale. The two layers work together to close gaps that neither can address alone.
