Correct Answer
B. Identity Assurance Level 2, or an industry-accepted standard at least as secure
AI Explanation
Identity proofing has a minimum security floor. 19 NYCRR §182.7(a) requires identity proofing to meet at least the Identity Assurance Level 2 standard in the NIST Digital Identity Guidelines, or an industry-accepted standard that is at least as secure. For contrast, credential analysis under §182.6 validates the ID credential itself, while identity proofing verifies information about the person.
