Biometric Security Guide : Understanding ISO/IEC 30107 Standards

 

Introduction

Biometric security systems are now widely used across banking, aviation, workforce management and digital identity platforms. As more organisations rely on fingerprint scans, facial recognition and iris-based authentication, the need for reliable protection against spoofing and manipulation has become more important than ever. This is where ISO/IEC 30107 comes in, offering a structured framework to address biometric presentation attack detection.

What ISO/IEC 30107 Covers?

  • Part 1 defines the key principles of biometric presentation attack detection, including terms like presentation attack and liveness detection.

  • Part 2 outlines the data formats needed for evaluating biometric vulnerabilities and describing detection methods.

  • Part 3 explains the testing procedures used to measure performance and resilience of biometric systems when exposed to real-world attacks such as fake fingerprints or facial masks.

Why This Standard Matters for Organisations?

Biometric systems are increasingly targeted with sophisticated attack tools, from high-resolution photo replays to silicone fingerprints. ISO/IEC 30107 helps organisations build stronger defences by identifying attack points, integrating reliable liveness-checking methods and ensuring that systems undergo thorough testing. This leads to better risk control and greater reliability in sectors where identity accuracy is critical, such as finance, healthcare and travel.

How Pacific Certifications Can Help?

Pacific Certifications supports organisations seeking to align their biometric systems with ISO/IEC 30107. Our audit approach focuses on real operational controls, system performance and readiness for certification. We assist through each stage of assessment so that organisations can strengthen biometric processes with confidence.

How to Identify and Address ISO 9001 Non-Conformities

In the world of quality management, adherence to ISO 9001 standards is a critical aspect for businesses striving for excellence. ISO 9001:2015 sets out the criteria for a quality management system and is based on a number of quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach, and continual improvement. However, despite the best efforts, organizations may sometimes face non-conformities with these standards. Identifying and addressing these non-conformities is essential for maintaining the integrity of the quality management system and ensuring continuous improvement. In this blog, we will explore how organizations can effectively identify and address ISO 9001 non-conformities. Read more : How to Identify and Address ISO 9001 Non-Conformities

ISO certifications in East Germany (German Democratic Republic) and how Pacific Certifications can help

Image
  The German Democratic Republic (GDR), commonly known as East Germany, existed from 1949 until German reunification in 1990. During its existence, East Germany had its own standards organization, the Amt für Standardisierung, Messwesen und Warenprüfung (ASMW), which was responsible for setting national standards. While the ISO (International Organization for Standardization) develops and publishes international standards, individual countries choose how and whether to adopt these standards within their national framework. Since East Germany was a separate entity until 1990, it has interacted with ISO standards differently compared to how modern Germany does today. Post-reunification, Germany has fully integrated into the international standards system, with the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) being the primary national standards body in Germany. DIN is a member of ISO and plays a significant role in the development and adoption of ISO standards within Germany. ISO Standards a...

  What is the ISO 80079-36:2016? The ISO 80079-36:2016 certification is an important standard for businesses that work with explosive atmospheres. It sets out the requirements for the design, manufacture, and installation of equipment used in potentially explosive atmospheres. Companies that comply with this standard can demonstrate to customers and regulatory authorities that they have taken all necessary steps to ensure the safety of their products and operations. By obtaining ISO 80079-36:2016 certification, businesses can show their commitment to safety and quality while gaining a competitive edge in the industry. What are the requirements of ISO 80079-36:2016? ISO 80079-36:2016 defines the requirements for equipment used in explosive atmospheres. It is a certification process that ensures the safety of equipment. Which must meet certain standards before being approved for use in hazardous environments. This standard applies to all types of industrial and c...
