CompTIA CASP+ (CAS-004) — Question 86

As part of the customer registration process to access a new bank account, customers are required to upload a number of documents, including their passports and driver's licenses. The process also requires customers to take a current photo of themselves to be compared against provided documentation.
Which of the following BEST describes this process?

Answer options

• A. Deepfake
• B. Know your customer
• C. Identity proofing
• D. Passwordless

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, Identity proofing, which refers to the process of verifying an individual's identity using documents and biometric data. Options A and D are not relevant to this context, as Deepfake pertains to synthetic media and Passwordless refers to authentication methods that avoid traditional passwords. Option B, Know your customer (KYC), is related but broader, encompassing the entire process of verifying customer identity and assessing risk.
