customer screening for dna synthesis

Know who’s ordering your DNA.

safely.bio verify runs know-your-customer checks on the researchers placing synthetic DNA orders. It records the evidence and returns a clear recommendation, so you can tell a legitimate researcher from a bad actor before you ship.

how it works

Four stages.

Verify runs the industry screening standard as one automated flow. A real researcher clears every stage; a bad actor has to fake all of them at once.

01

sanctions

who they aren’t

Screened against sanctions, denied-party and export-control lists. A confirmed hit stops the order, and no later step can lift it.

02

identity

who they are

Email control resolves a real domain, matched to the customer’s institution, and account authentication confirms they hold the account.

03

the order

what they ordered

Sequence screening flags a sequence of concern. A flagged order triggers stricter identity checks; shipping and payment are validated either way.

04

legitimacy

why they clear

Documented at least one way: the institution in a public registry, the customer’s own publications or grants, or an independent voucher.

why providers trust it

Secure software you can trust.

  • #Your customer data stays yours. Encrypted, kept out of the logs and the model, swappable AI backend, self-hostable.
  • #Drops into the checkout you already run. A single call, first check in under an hour, no new dashboard.
  • #It assists, you decide. Never a bare approve or reject; every verdict carries its evidence, reason and next step.
  • #Tamper-evident, proven and current. Hash-chained audit log, evaluated on 100,000+ profiles, and mapped to the regs as they change.
the api

Easy to integrate.

Screen a customer and their order straight from your existing order flow, with a single call. You get the recommendation, the evidence and an audit id back. No new dashboard to run, and your first check runs in under an hour.

We evaluated Verify, our KYC system, on more than 100,000 legitimate customer profiles and 10,000 synthetic attacker profiles. It reaches over 90% recall at a false-positive rate under 15%, for less than $1 per customer screened, while meeting the data-security requirements DNA synthesis companies need.
