Digital Identity Verification Leader Trulioo Launches Initiative to Support Industry Professionals in Tackling Global Regulatory, Compliance Pressures

Global identity verification leader, Trulioo, launched a set of resources to support modern security professionals as they shape safety and security practices in the digital world. Recent data found that compliance, risk and IT security professionals are critical to supporting business growth. These individuals are highlighted on the new Champions of Trust microsite, designed to support these professionals on their career paths, amplify their contributions and foster collaboration in an industry that is quickly becoming a driving force of innovation.

The recently released white paper, ‘Champions of Trust: A new generation of leadership for a digital-first world’, found that enhanced brand trust is the most significant impact organizations cited (68%) when having Champions of Trust and being more identity-led in their approach. The benefits are so critical and wide-ranging that almost all businesses (94%) believe digital identity is an opportunity for competitive differentiation and industry collaboration.

“There’s no doubt about it, becoming more identity-led is going to be a defining feature of successful businesses in the coming years,” said ​​Steve Munford, CEO, Trulioo. “Security and identity aren’t solely about defense, protection against bad actors and risk mitigation. It is also an opportunity to put processes in place that can be the foundation for business growth at a time when customers expect best-in-class service and onboarding. That’s why the rise to prominence of Champions of Trust is a game-changer.”
