Orbis Holding
System integrator · software developer

The systems behind identity and trust.

Orbis is a team of engineers who design identity, biometric and security systems with care: clean architecture, careful optimisation and nothing that doesn't earn its place. Orbis works inside its customers' programmes from the first analysis through delivery and operation, with its own people, never outsourced.

The Orbis approach

Capabilities

Identity and credential systems
Design, development and integration of the systems behind identity programmes: biometric enrolment and deduplication, self-service enrolment kiosks, identity card issuance and personalisation, and electronic travel documents.
Trust infrastructure
Certificate authority hierarchies built and migrated, hardware security modules integrated, digital signature workflows, and trust infrastructure kept compliant with international standards, including ICAO for travel documents.
Biometrics
Multimodal biometric platforms (face, iris, fingerprint) and the company's own eKYC product, BioSelfie: document OCR, face matching, and liveness detection that passed iBeta PAD Level 1 testing.
Modernising critical systems
Legacy platforms moved onto modern stacks without interrupting service: old and new interfaces bridged, data migrated at scale, and proven behaviour treated as the specification.
Data and operations
Large-scale data migration, graph analytics, and monitoring for fleets of field devices.

Approach

Anyone can write software. The difference is the thinking behind it: understanding the problem before writing a line, choosing the simplest design that will hold, and making it fast because it was designed well, not because hardware was added. That thinking is what customers come to Orbis for.

  • Think in programmesOrbis starts from the whole programme and the organisation that will run it. The product follows from that thinking, designed as simply as it can be and still hold.
  • Clean and efficientLean code, careful optimisation, and systems that do more with less hardware.
  • Measured, not assumedTested against real data and real load, and documented as measured, not as assumed.
  • Its own engineersOrbis does not outsource. It hires and grows its team in-house, and the same people stay with the programme from analysis to operation, then hand over systems customers can run themselves.

Products

Every Orbis product solved a hard problem cleanly, and what was learned building each one went into the next. Because Orbis builds with its own team, that knowledge stays in the company and goes into every project.

Today

BioSelfie

An enterprise eKYC platform: document OCR, face matching and liveness detection behind one API. Its liveness model, trained in-house by Orbis, passed iBeta Presentation Attack Detection testing to ISO/IEC 30107-3, Level 1.

Sovereign Code

On-premise agentic coding: a full AI coding assistant that runs on the customer's own hardware, against local models. Nothing leaves the customer's network.

Where it started

Taarif

Smartcard issuance and management

A card issuance and management system independent of the card manufacturer, the card operating system and the personalisation provider. Built for multi-application cards with PKI, and adapted to each programme by configuration rather than custom code.

Tawqi3

Digital signature

A digital signature infrastructure that replaces print, sign and scan with a secure electronic workflow. It proves who signed, what they intended and that the document has not changed since, with advanced electronic signatures.

Tashfeer

Cryptography on national ID cards

A web security suite that adds signing and encryption services to national and resident ID cards. It talks to the card directly in APDUs, so it needs no client middleware and installs nothing on the user's machine, on any operating system.

Eltiqat

Identity data capture

Automatic capture of identity data from passports, e-passports and ID cards: OCR from phone, tablet and desktop scanner images, and chip reading over NFC and smartcard readers.

BiOpticals

Face recognition in augmented reality

Smart glasses that recognise faces in real time and show the result as an augmented reality overlay. Its GPU matcher, written in CUDA, matched faces in real time against large face databases.
