# Verify a facemap

Verifies a facemap challenge when calling a SCA-secured endpoint. Make sure to [create a facemap](/api-reference/legacy/sca-facemaps/scafacemapcreate) before using this endpoint.
A facemap should be exported from your FaceTec server using the SDK's [export API](https://dev.facetec.com/api-guide#export-3d-facemap). Please use Wise's FaceTec [public key](/api-reference/legacy/facetec/facetecpublickeyget) to encrypt a facemap during the export process.
