Revenue Uplift
Three revenue streams from identity integration.
Identity infrastructure creates net-new revenue through premium pricing, market expansion, and transaction-based service models.
Premium Security Offering
Identity-enabled solutions command 10-15% premium pricing due to enhanced security, compliance automation, and reduced risk.
Applies to existing DET revenue where identity verification is integrated into the delivery model.
New Customer Acquisition
Identity differentiation enables winning deals in regulated industries previously inaccessible without certified trust infrastructure.
Healthcare, defense, and financial services sectors where compliance is a prerequisite.
Identity-as-a-Service Revenue
Transaction-based IDaaS revenue from DID creation, credential verification, and trust score queries across deployed customer base.
Recurring revenue model scaling with active DIDs and transaction volume.
Cost Savings
Four categories of operational savings.
Security Breach Avoidance
Fewer incidents
Average data breach cost: $4.45M. Decentralized identity eliminates centralized PII honeypots.
Compliance Automation
Audit time reduction
Automated identity verification and on-chain audit trails reduce manual compliance effort.
Manual Verification Elimination
