As commerce becomes increasingly digital, creating both a safe and seamless customer journey is vital for businesses. After all, trust is a key element in any business relationship, and a lack of digital security can be seen as a sign of negligence or lack of commitment by consumers

Customers expect their personal and financial information to be secure whenever they do business with a company digitally. Those that can’t keep customer data safe risk losing not only the trust but also the business of customers.

Why Safety is such an Important Factor

Just put yourself in a customer's shoes: would you trust the service or product of a company that had lax cybersecurity? 

In an increasingly digital world, customers' personal and financial information needs to be protected. Lack of security can lead to data breaches, which are a significant risk to customer privacy and the reputation of the company. They can also bring about regulatory scrutiny and fines. The good news is that by ensuring security at every stage of the customer journey, companies can create a safe and compliant environment. This not only increases customer confidence, but also allows companies to better leverage user data to drive revenues. 

Companies' efforts can then be directed to other equally important points of attention such as creating personalized marketing strategies, identifying market trends and offering innovative solutions to customers.

How to Ensure a Safe Digital Experience

To ensure a safe experience, you need to identify which points of the customer journey have the most exposure to risk. In general, three moments are usually critical and require special attention. They are:

  • Account opening and registration: When a user first does business with a company, it is crucial to check the information presented to make sure the user is who they say they are and is not using stolen or false information. This is why it is imperative for businesses to make use of technologies such as facial biometrics and automated document verification to accurately verify identities. 
  • Account access and login: After verifying that only good users are onboarded, companies must ensure that customers can access their account safely and confidently, which is possible through the implementation of secure authentication methods, such as multi-factor authentication. 
  • Payments and transfers: In addition to a secure registration and login, companies need to pay attention to other situations that can pose risk, such as suspicious payments and transfers. In these situations, new authentication measures - such as facial authentication - can be applied to minimize any possibility of fraud.

By paying attention to these three points, companies can ensure a much safer and more reliable customer journey, building a lasting trust with their users. In addition, this can also help prevent security breaches and data theft. Therefore, it is important that companies are proactive in protecting customer safety at all points of the journey.
