Risk indication for businesses
2024-06-24
Companies and authorities can now request a risk indication from us.
To make it easier for companies and authorities to increase the security of their services, it's now possible to request a risk indication from us. The indication should function as a complement to the company's other security measures. The possibility exists for the situations where the BankID is used on the same device on which the e-service is accessed.
The purpose is to protect customers
The indication is based on a number of security controls aimed at reducing the risk of fraud and protecting those who use their BankID with companies and authorities. We take care to protect the privacy of the user and only send a weighted value of the result of the checks to the e-service.
A complement to other security measures
Companies and authorities always have overall responsibility for the security of their services. The indication from us should be seen as a complement to the overall security measures taken. How the company or authority should act on the value they get back depends on the combined result of the own risk analysis and the indication from us, as well as on the nature of the business.
Information needs to be added to the call
The company or authority that wants to order the risk indication needs to add new information in the call to our server. What needs to be added is:
A request for the indication to be produced.
Information about how our service should act.
Supplementary information needed to develop the indication.
For the indication to be produced, it's important that the company or authority ensures that the information submitted is correct.
