Janice Kephart | Chief Executive Officer
Identity Strategy Partners

Janice Kephart is a national security changemaker, biometrics pioneer, and entrepreneur whose work has shaped global identity standards and border policy. As Counsel to the 9/11 Commission, her words in the Final Report—calling for systems to “assure a person is who they say they are”—helped redefine national security as border security. With 19 Congressional testimonies, she has been instrumental in linking identity assurance to the prevention of terrorist travel and fraud. Internationally respected for her work in biometrics, Kephart co-founded Identity Strategy Partners to modernize identity frameworks across government and industry. Today, she leads ZipID, an innovative platform revolutionizing employment compliance through real-time biometric I-9 authentication. From helping craft international border requirements to advancing federal identity strategy, Kephart’s lifelong commitment to protecting people through policy, technology, and law is clear. She builds where others hesitate—turning risk into resilience.
