RUSI Shares 9 Key Steps to Combat Large-Scale Identity Fraud

The Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) released 9 recommendations on responding to large scale identity fraud.

 

The report comes as the threat from identity fraud continues to grow and evolve, costing the UK economy an estimated £1.8b per annum.

Key recommendations for the financial industry include:

  • Ensuring that counter-fraud measures within the digital verification services trust framework are kept fit for purpose through robust annual review;
  • Working with government to establish government-endorsed sources of victim support; and
  • Working with government to develop real-time government issued identity-checking solutions along with a data feed on false identities used to access public funds.

✅ Firms can review the report to better understand the developing nature of identity fraud and the ways in which the public and private sector can effectively respond.
