Telesign’s Trust Certified Badge Provides a New Seal of Confidence for Consumers Wishing to Do Business with Brands that Demonstrate the Highest Standards of Fraud and Identity Protection

Telesign, the leading provider of customer identity and engagement solutions, announced today a new Trust Certified Badge for digital businesses that meet high standards of protection against fraud and identity theft. Global companies across a number of industries, such as fintech, SaaS (Software as a Service), social networking, and more, will display the Trust Certified Badge, demonstrating their commitment to creating a more trustworthy place in the digital economy.

According to the findings in the 2023 Telesign Trust Index, fear of digital fraud is on the rise with more than half (50%) of consumers indicating their level of apprehension regarding telephone and digital fraud has increased in the last two years. Ninety-four percent believe companies have a responsibility to protect the digital privacy of users. Companies that fail to protect consumers suffer. The Trust Certified Badge is designed to boost consumer confidence in brands’ digital platforms.
