System and method invoking security and profile utilities for global account registration

A computer-implemented method for processing a registration request for electronic access to a plurality of computerized back-end services operating on a plurality of distinct computer platforms, the method comprising:

• communicating by a network interface with the plurality of computerized back-end services operating on the plurality of distinct computer platforms and with a user computing device located remotely to a front-end computer system;
• receiving, by a front-end computing system, the registration request for a user identity;
• and
• in response to the registration request:
• invoking, by a security utility of the front-end computing system, an information collection service to collect one or more secure information items associated with the user identity;
• invoking, by the security utility of the front-end computing system, a data verification service of the security utility to determine, based on the one or more collected secure information items associated with the user identity, a verification score, and responsive to determining that the determined verification score exceeds a threshold value, registering a global user account for the user identity;
• invoking, by a profile utility of the front-end computing system, a merge or link service of the profile utility to query the plurality of computerized back-end services to determine whether one or more pre-existing user accounts have been created corresponding to the user identity, and, responsive to identification of the one or more pre-existing user accounts by the computerized back-end services, merge or link the identified one or more pre-existing user accounts for the plurality of computerized back-end services with the global user account;
• and
• invoking, by the profile utility of the front-end computing system, a role management service of the profile utility, to determine a plurality of roles for the user identity in relation to each of one or more computerized back-end services associated with the global user account.

A system for processing a registration request for electronic access to a plurality of computerized back-end services operating on a plurality of distinct computer platforms, the system comprising:

• the plurality of computerized back-end services connected by a data network;
• a front-end computing system connected to the plurality of computerized back-end services by the data network, the front-end computer system including;
• a network interface configured to communicate with a user computing device located remotely to the system and the plurality of computerized back-end services operating on the plurality of distinct computer platforms,
• a profile utility including a merge or link service and a role management service;
• and
• a security utility including an information collection service, a data verification service, a credential service, and an authentication score management service;
• wherein the front-end computing system is configured to:
• receive, by a call from one of the plurality of computerized back-end services, via the security utility, the registration request for a user identity;
• and
• in response to the registration request:
• invoke, by the security utility, the information collection service to collect one or more secure information items associated with the user identity;
• invoke, by the security utility, the data verification service to determine, based on the one or more collected secure information items associated with the user identity, a verification score, and responsive to determining that the determined verification score exceeds a threshold value, register a global user account for the user identity;
• invoke, by the security utility, the credential service to establish one or more security credentials for the global user account associated with the user identity;
• invoke, by the profile utility, the merge or link service to query the plurality of computerized back-end services to determine whether one or more pre-existing user accounts have been created corresponding to the user identity, and, responsive to identification of the one or more pre-existing user accounts by the computerized back-end services, merge or link the identified one or more pre-existing user accounts for the plurality of computerized back-end services with the global user account;
• invoke, by the profile utility, the role management service, to determine a plurality of roles for the user identity in relation to each of one or more computerized back-end services associated with the global user account;
• and
• invoke, by the security utility, the authentication score management service to determine an initial authentication score for each of the plurality of roles for the user identity.
