Avoco Secure Limited

Avoco Secure Limited was incorporated in the United Kingdom on 27 May 2003 and began operations as a digital identity company around 2005. Founded by Sandy Porter, the company originally focused on single sign‑on and verified identity solutions, evolving over nearly two decades into a provider of identity orchestration and decisioning.

Core Technology: Orchestration and Decisioning Engine (ODE)

The flagship product of Avoco is the Orchestration and Decisioning Engine (ODE), a suite of modular APIs that enables the construction of an Identity Authorization Network (IAN) or Identity Fabric. ODE abstracts complex protocols such as OIDC FAPI and CIBA MODRNA, allowing seamless communication between identity ecosystem components. It incorporates trust‑layer principles, using multiple verified data sources—including open banking, BankID, and third‑party verification services—to build confidence in transactions. The engine also features generative AI capabilities that let business analysts rapidly create rules to define identity ecosystems.

Products and Brands

Avoco markets several branded products built on ODE. Trus‑T is a multi‑tenant identity service that facilitates assured identity transactions across different organisations. AgePass is a digital wallet‑based solution that uses open banking data to verify age without revealing other personal information, aimed at protecting children online. Trust&Assure extends service capabilities by adding layers of trust through verification and fraud checks. All products support both cloud and on‑premise deployments.

Market Position and Recognition

Avoco Secure Limited is a small, niche player in the identity orchestration space. The company positions itself as a solution for beating scammers through real‑time transactional KYC/AML checks, deep‑fake detection, and synthetic identity prevention. It has gained recognition from analysts such as KuppingerCole and has worked with governments and major banks. Despite its small size, Avoco’s technology is used to enforce age restrictions for digital services and to add trust to online interactions.

Business Model and Funding

Avoco operates as an unfunded, founder‑led company, with no external investment taken. Its business model revolves around licensing its API‑based identity orchestration platform to enterprises, particularly in regulated sectors such as iGaming, financial services, and digital media. The company does not hold a specific gambling or financial services licence itself, but its technology facilitates compliance for clients.

Leadership

Avoco’s founder and CEO is Sandy Porter, who has over 30 years of industry experience. No other C‑level executives are publicly confirmed; the company’s small team includes Susan Morrow as a key team member, though her specific role is not detailed in available sources.
