Prevent increasingly sophisticated fraud and protect revenue

Spot Under-Reporters and Tax Evaders

Our solutions make it easier to detect individuals who purposely omit key data that may impact the amount they owe. Fully understand the individuals and businesses you’re dealing with — and their hidden connections — in one comprehensive view. Leverage our massive consumer identity data and unique data set to get an unprecedented look into household information, business ownership, assets and other vital data relative to an individual’s tax reporting. Even in the case of business tax fraud, that consumer view is so vital because businesses don’t perpetrate fraud: the people associated with the business are the violators.

Harness our unique strengths into your advantage:

• Combined digital and physical identity intelligence (we’ve uncovered 40 million business LexIDs and 280 million consumer LexIDs — which are unique identities determined by linking massive disparate data sets to a single person/entity)
• Identity details on the owners/principals of the business and their networks of relatives and associates
• Business details such as revenue producing locations, principals and ownership structure

Combat Identity Fraud without Adding Undue Friction

Law-abiding taxpayers shouldn’t have to put up with security burdens created by fraudsters. Our platform approach and broad set of solutions enable you to implement multi-layered, risk-based processes for authentication and fraud mitigation. Meaning, you can provide streamlined access for trusted users while increasing scrutiny or implementing step-up measures on riskier ones.

For example, we can help you better differentiate between a trusted individual and a cyber-threat by leveraging combined physical and digital identity attributes (address, phone number, date of birth, SSNs, court filings, device ownership, locations, past behaviors) compiled from a cross-industry contributory network. This robust knowledge bank unearths hidden details that signal suspicious behaviors and evolving cybercrime threats such as bot attacks and synthetic identities.

We also help protect against tax refund identity fraud and account takeovers, making it possible to accurately detect the use of location and identity cloaking services. Bring hidden proxies and VPNs into the light. See the true IP address, geolocation and other attributes of each transaction. Quickly cross-check identities against agencies in bordering or faraway states before approving applications.
