Most e-commerce fraud prevention vendors talk about their comprehensive outsourced solutions. However, what about businesses that are already running an in-house fraud program? Your business might not need a fully outsourced solution. Fortunately, ClearSale offers customizable fraud consulting solutions that can help.
Sometimes, businesses simply need a trusted advisor to help them address targeted challenges within their existing fraud program.
In these cases, the business needs a partner who can provide an objective assessment of the challenge and identify the best approach to take.
That’s exactly where ClearSale can help, with solutions tailored to each client’s individual needs. Fraud prevention consulting services might include:
Let’s explore each of these fraud prevention consulting services further.
Building an in-house team of fraud analysts is no easy endeavor. If your staff isn’t current on evolving fraud trends, they risk missing significant fraud events — and that can be an expensive mistake.
ClearSale can train your employees on emerging fraud schemes, providing best practices to identify even the most subtle indicators of fraud. We also provide support following the training; our consultants are just a phone call away if issues or attacks should arise.
Some businesses might opt to rely heavily on the fraud filters that come included with their e-commerce platform. However, implementing these fraud filters can be surprisingly tricky. As you add filter on top of filter, it’s possible that one filter can actually cancel out other filters. Therefore, the order in which these filter rules execute becomes extremely important.
ClearSale can provide an experienced, objective evaluation of your system to ensure it is properly structured to maximize your fraud protection.
In addition to fraud filter rules, many businesses utilize an automated fraud score to quantify the fraud risk of each incoming order.
As an unbiased third party, ClearSale can help you build a comprehensive algorithm that produces the most accurate numeric score based on multiple transaction details. We can also help analyze the effectiveness of your existing fraud score algorithm, by looking at your accuracy rate (the proportion of the total number of correct predictions) and the quality of your score via K-S measurement (the degree of separation between positive and negative fraud distributions).
Lastly, we can also train your in-house fraud analysts in the most effective ways of using these fraud scores for approve-decline decisions.
Fraud is continually – and quickly – evolving, so regular CNP fraud risk assessments are critical to evaluate and improve your fraud prevention process. Fortunately, this assessment doesn’t have to be complicated or take up significant time and resources.
ClearSale has developed a comprehensive risk assessment process that includes:
