Introducing your customisable verification solution

In today's digital world, ensuring secure and convenient online interactions is more important than ever. Every business has unique needs when it comes to protecting their digital space and their customer interactions - and different needs require different solutions. That's why CM.com introduces "Build Your Own Verification" - flexible and customisable verification that can be tailored to your specific needs.

Sometimes, one size will not fit all. Digital verification services should fit like a glove - because each unique business or industry has unique needs and regulations that need to be met to ensure security and compliance. Whether you're in the financial services, tech, government, or logistics industry, a customisable approach ensures that you get exactly what you need to protect your business and customers.

Digital verification challenges

Customers demand hassle-free experiences, and data protection regulations require strict security systems. This balance can be tricky, and the challenge for most businesses lies in finding verification solutions that not only guard against fraud but also enhance user convenience. There are four common challenges when it comes to verification:

  1. Disruptive experiences : Clunky verification methods can disrupt the digital experience of your customers, leading to frustration and potential loss of trust.

  2. Rising fraud risks : As digital channels expand, so do the threats. Staying one step ahead to protect both your business and your customers from fraud is a must.

  3. High costs and complexities : Setting up security systems can be pricey and complex, especially for companies in high-risk industries.

  4. Strict regulation compliance: Navigating and adhering to strict data protection regulations can feel like a constant battle - overwhelming and challenging.

Security across industries

For industries like financial services, technology platforms, government sectors, and logistics, the stakes are particularly high. Financial services need to handle high volumes of identity checks with ease, ensuring data and account safety in compliance with strict regulations. According to industry insights, the banking sector alone will conduct 37 billion identity checks by 2024, making up more than half of the global identity verification market. This massive growth highlights the importance of having a robust verification system.

Governmental institutions and businesses in logistics also have strict regulatory requirements they need to adhere to, since they have sensitive (customer) information to protect.

For businesses in the technical sector, offering seamless (login) experiences and improving customer satisfaction is paramount. Reducing friction will prevent customers from getting frustrated, and possibly walking away to competitors.
