Regula Continues to Grow (Continued)
Forensic laboratories in the two major cities of Quito and Guayaquil have been equipped with Regula 4308 dualvideo spectral comparators, which are designed for advanced examination of all documents, as well as art and collectibles. They allow forensic experts to thoroughly investigate document printing methods and surface relief, as well as overlapping objects, such as signatures or stamps. For efficient verification of IDs, this dualvideo spectral comparator has modules for reading MRZs, RFID chips, hidden images (IPI), and barcodes. This Regula model has 30 types of light sources, more than 20 light filters, and 320x magnification.
Along with the devices, the National Service of Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences of Ecuador has obtained Regula’s information reference systems (IRS) on documents and banknotes. These are comprehensive databases of the vast majority of travel documents, banknotes, driving licences and vehicle registration certificates, with detailed descriptions and images of the documents captured in different light sources.

To help support the new devices, special training was held for the Ecuadorian forensic laboratory experts. It was organised by Regula and delivered by Juan Manuel Padrón Primo, a forensic document examiner and Regula’s long-term partner.
Recognition from Gartner
Coincidentally, the technology research firm, Gartner has recognised Regula for the second time.
The company appeared in the 2021 Gartner report ‘Buyer’s Guide for Identity Proofing’1 as an example of a vendor that provides identity proofing solutions. This guide was created by Gartner analysts to help security and risk management leaders better understand the nuances of identity proofing that various vendors introduce to the market, and consequently make a decision when choosing ID verification solutions.
More recently, Regula was named a Representative Vendor in the Gartner report 2 in 2022.
