Protecting Consumers

Regulatory and Standards Compliance

With ever-increasing data breaches, industries and regulatory bodies are concerned about consumer privacy, identity theft. These organizations expect the business community to adopt security best practices in protecting valuable data assets. Most government or industry regulations around user security are designed to establish assurance and enable digital transformation while protecting against fraud, privacy or data breaches. Today, multiple industries have introduced standards. For example, EMVCo and PSD2 in financial services  GSMA’s Mobile Connect, HIPAA in healthcare, EU-GDPR or NIST guidelines.
