Shufti launches Glocal compliance platform for global markets

Shufti has launched the Glocal Platform in London, aiming to give businesses one system for identity verification, fraud prevention, risk checks and regulatory compliance across markets. The platform is available now and is designed to reduce the vendor sprawl and local compliance gaps that often come with international expansion.

Why it matters: - Global companies often end up stitching together multiple vendors to meet local compliance rules in each market. - Shufti is positioning the Glocal Platform as a single compliance backbone that can lower operational complexity, reduce integration sprawl and support local regulatory needs at scale. - The platform is meant to help organizations manage compliance across industries, regions and use cases without rebuilding workflows for every new market.

What happened: - Shufti launched the Shufti Glocal Platform, a full compliance lifecycle management solution. - The launch was announced on July 23, 2026, in London. - The platform is available now. - Shufti says the platform is built to support identity verification, fraud prevention, risk assessment and regulatory compliance through one system.

The details: - The Glocal Platform covers the customer journey from sign-up and KYC through authentication, AML screening, ongoing monitoring and remediation. - Shufti says the platform is developed entirely in-house and runs on one shared global infrastructure. - The platform is designed to adapt to local markets rather than force businesses into a fixed operating model. - It is built to support data sovereignty and align identity data handling with local regulatory and governance expectations. - Jurisdiction-specific regulations, document requirements, verification methods and industry use cases are built in as core capabilities. - Shufti says businesses can use the platform to meet local regulatory requirements across jurisdictions including Japan, Gibraltar, Australia and Argentina while operating one global compliance program. - The platform is informed by more than a decade of Shufti experience with 2,000+ organizations worldwide. - Shufti says those organizations span financial services, fintech, telecommunications, forex, e-commerce, gaming, marketplaces and other regulated industries. - Shufti supports identity verification across 240+ countries and territories. - The company processes 10,000+ document types across 150+ languages. - Shufti says its OCR accuracy reaches 99.7% across complex multilingual documents and non-Latin scripts, including Arabic, Devanagari, Chinese and Japanese. - Shufti’s portfolio includes KYC, KYB, AML screening, facial biometrics, passive liveness detection, Video KYC, electronic identity verification, fraud prevention, authentication and continuous risk monitoring. - Shufti says its passive liveness detection has iBeta PAD Level 3 certification. - Shufti says it is certified under PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001:2022, GDPR and CCPA.

Between the lines: - The launch reflects a push toward “glocal” compliance tools: global infrastructure paired with local regulatory depth. - Shufti is arguing that compliance infrastructure has become a growth bottleneck for companies expanding into new jurisdictions. - The platform also serves as a statement about product strategy, with Shufti emphasizing in-house technology rather than a patchwork of third-party systems. - CEO Shahid Hanif said the company built the platform to remove the trade-off between global reach and local precision.

What's next: - Businesses can start using the Glocal Platform immediately. - Shufti says organizations can contact the team or visit the company’s website to learn more. - The company is pitching the platform as a long-term compliance foundation for future market entries and new business lines.

The bottom line: - Shufti is betting that one adaptable compliance platform can replace multiple regional vendors for companies expanding across borders.
