Seeing it from the Customer’s Perspective

Building a system that works for your customers as much as for your company, KeyData fosters frictionless customer interactions while seamlessly promoting your business objectives. With Single Sign On (SSO) users can log in using their credentials from some of the web’s most trusted sites: Google, Facebook, even bank partners, and feel truly recognized on your platform.
Safeguarding Privacy
A good CIAM system respects the customer’s right to privacy while understanding the complexities of data collection for business. It is imperative to offer the customer the ability to titrate privacy settings on their own account (for example, cookie acceptance). Privacy consistently ranks as one of the most important considerations for online shoppers, with 32% of them saying they would stop using a site if they felt their privacy was at risk.
Supporting Security
In the 21st Century companies are increasingly viewed as a juicy target by hackers. An information economy literally monetizes data, so criminals around the world have a vested interest in getting access to your confidential information. A robust and well-maintained CIAM system protects not just the end users, but the company as well, from having their data exfiltrated by hostile forces. At KeyData, every solution is created with security as a top priority.

Shortly after taking over the senior IT role, I engaged Rosa (KeyData) to conduct an assessment of the performance and results of an IAM project for which I had serious concerns. She was recommended as a highly qualified industry expert and she lived up to her reputation. Her in-depth investigation uncovered the true realities regarding the effectiveness of the delivered IAM solution and provided a clear understanding of the performance of the project team and the external technology consultant. Rosa’s work and report was extremely valuable in informing me on what IAM solution is appropriate for an organization like ours and the path to achieving it.
