Access SignalsSM

Know who's really on the other end of every session with Geo Compliance.

Your app is secured. But do you know where the user actually is, whether they’re hiding it, and whether the connection can be trusted? Access Signals answers all three — in real time, on the same session.

The gap

Sealing protects the app. It doesn't tell you who's using it.

Code encryption, anti-tampering and runtime protection stop the app from being broken. None of them tell you that the session itself is fraudulent — spoofed, anonymised, or coming from known-bad infrastructure.
  • A user spoofs GPS or VPNs in to place a bet from a region you're not licensed in.
  • A bot farm signs up through residential proxies that look like real devices.
  • Credential-stuffing traffic arrives from IPs with a long fraud history.
  • Your fraud, WAF and IDV tools each see one piece — and you pay for each separately.

Three jobs, one decision

Every session is really three questions

Access Signals – Geo Compliance answers all three at once and turns them into a single, enforceable verdict.

Locate

Where is this user, really?

Know the true origin of the session so you can apply the right rules, licensing, tax and sanctions.

Unmask

Are they hiding it?

Detect VPNs, proxies, Tor and residential-proxy networks the moment a session connects.

Judge

Can you trust the connection?

Score every connection against live reputation intelligence before it costs you anything.

The six signals

Sold individually, or as one bundle

Each signal is licensed on its own or combined by industry and need. Set any of them to Block, Monitor or Allow.

  • Block abuse-prone signups at the edge

Typical buyer: Security · Fraud · Platform

Policy flexibility, not blunt blocking

Three modes on every signal

Detection isn’t the value — the policy flexibility it unlocks is. Choose what each signal does, per capability.
  • Block
Reject the session or close the app when the signal is positive. For sanctioned regions, known-bad IPs, and the highest-anonymity traffic.
  • Monitor
Allow the session but log, flag and surface it on the dashboard — the safe way to trial a new policy before you enforce it.
  • Allow
Evaluate and attach the signal for analytics without acting on it — full visibility, zero user friction.

Policy flexibility, not blunt blocking

Not another vendor. It's built into your seal.

Most stacks stitch together separate contracts for VPN, proxy, Tor and IP reputation. Access Signals delivers all six in one decision — inside the DoveRunner Mobile App Security you already run.
  • No new SDK to integrate — it rides on your existing DoveRunner Mobile App Security protection.
  • Android today via the sealing wizard; iOS via the SDK, with full IPA-sealing parity coming.
  • Every verdict flows into the Access Signals analytics dashboard and event log.
  • Reusable presets carry your policy across every build.

FAQs

Questions we hear a lot

We already have a fraud, WAF or IDV vendor doing this.

Access Signals isn't a replacement — it's the upstream signal those systems are missing or paying for separately. Most stacks have one of the six; we deliver all of them in one decision, on the same session, at a single price.

Blunt blocking creates false positives and legitimate-user friction. Detection lets you decide — block, step-up, score, log or allow — based on what the session is trying to do. The value is the policy flexibility, not the detection itself.

We'd rather show you than tell you. Run a 30-day pilot on your own traffic and we'll share precision, recall and false-positive rate against your ground truth. Vendor-published numbers don't close deals; your own data does.

As a simple add-on to your DoveRunner Mobile App Security plan. Take any signal on its own, or bundle everything and save rather than buying the parts. Add or remove capabilities at the start of a billing cycle.
