Issues and needs at stake
Public and private organisations face a double challenge
- Need to manage the growing volume and frequency of exchanged data and information that’s exchanged
- Build credibility and transparency to enable trust
At the global level, and especially digitally, the risk of fraud, counterfeiting and attempts at falsification is constantly increasing, in parallel with the ever-growing volume of critical data exchanged.
Public organisation needs
Many cases of fraud have been reported in relation to the misuse of government-issued certificates, such as for birth, death or marriage. The need for an effective means of authenticating and verifying certificates issued by legitimate authorities has never been greater.
Educational institution needs
Educational institutions around the world are under increasing pressure to maintain their brand image and the authenticity of former students' diplomas.
Reports indicate that fake certificates and diplomas have been on the rise for many years.
Notary service needs
Finally, notarial fraud is also more frequent than one might think. Valuable documents are sometimes notarised without the knowledge or consent of the holder.
Some countries do not have an adequate system to verify the legitimacy of notarial services. This situation exposes citizens to the risk of fraud and harms legitimate providers. Many citizens are now turning to companies such as SICPA for help.
