Is Your Company Ready for Facial Biometric Attacks?

Is your company prepared to tackle the evolving cybersecurity threats targeting face authentication systems in 2025? With AI-driven fraud (like deepfakes) and regulatory pressures on the rise, staying prepared is crucial.

This interactive checklist, inspired by the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), is designed for organizations utilizing facial biometric security systems like 3DiVi Biometric Anti-Fraud (BAF). Follow the steps below and see how well your organization is prepared to handle facial biometric attacks.

Cyber Incident Readiness Checklist for Facial Biometric Security Systems

✅ Preparation

	Does your company have a documented cybersecurity policy covering prevention, detection, response, and recovery strategies specific to facial fraud attacks?
	Is your Incident Response Plan (IRP) up-to-date with 2025 facial biometric attacks such as pre-recorded videos of real faces or deep fakes?
	Have you conducted simulation exercises to test your IRP’s effectiveness?
	Is your key personnel trained to know how to spot suspicious activity (e.g. unusual liveness detection failures) and respond to facial fraud incidents?
	Does your company have any specific guides for responding to common facial presentation and injection attacks?
	Are your service providers capable of timely log retention and retrieval for facial biometric security threats?
	Do you practice regular data backups to provide a faster recovery from facial fraud attacks?

✅ Incident Detection

	Do you have real-time monitoring tools for potential facial biometric security incidents?
	Does your company have operating procedures for facial biometric attack detection and analysis, including categorisation, classification, and priority of reactions to such attacks?

✅ Containment, Evidence Collection, and Remediation

	Do you have operating procedures, guides, and templates for containment, evidence collection, and remediation of facial biometric attacks?
	Is there a partnership with trusted experts in case of advanced facial fraud incidents?
	Do you have secure evidence storage for data captured during an incident?

✅ Incident Notification and Reporting

	Do you have documented procedures for facial biometric attack notification, reporting, and response, with assigned roles and responsibilities within your organization?
	Are there documented insurance claims and liability procedures for facial biometric incidents?
	Do you have protocols or templates for rapid disclosure of incidents to customers and partners?

✅ Post-Incident Review

	Is there a formal process for conducting post-incident reviews with recommendations submitted to management?
	Do you track and implement corrective actions based on past incidents?
	Are continuous improvements being incorporated into your cybersecurity roadmap?

Now, we recommend reviewing the points you haven't checked off—each gap is a potential risk—and planning their implementation. By proactively strengthening security measures, from monitoring tools to employee training and policies, you'll definitely stay ahead of emerging facial fraud threats.
