The New Reality of Fraud
Fraud is no longer an occasional risk – it’s a constant battle. The rise of AI-powered impersonation, phishing scams, and payroll fraud has exposed organisations to escalating threats, both internally and externally.
The cost is staggering: billions lost globally each year, regulatory exposure, and reputational damage that can take years to recover from.
At Realyst, we believe security must go hand-in-hand with usability. That’s why we created Realm ID and RealSign – two solutions designed to protect identities, streamline processes, and build trust into every interaction.
The Rising Threat Landscape
Industry reports reveal alarming trends:
- Identity theft and impersonation are increasing at double-digit annual rates.
- Phishing attacks remain the top fraud vector, costing organisations millions.
- Case in point: engineering giant Arup faced a $24 million fraud exposure through a single cyber-enabled incident.
- Payroll fraud continues to be one of the most common and costly internal threats.
The reality? Every breach erodes more than finances – it erodes trust. For organisations entrusted with sensitive data, the reputational fallout can be devastating.
Realm ID: Building Trust into Every Interaction
Realm ID was built for organisations that need secure, trusted engagement with customers, suppliers, employees, and stakeholders.
- Verified Credentials & Identities – Secure onboarding and reusable digital profiles.
- Encrypted & Compliant – Protects data independently of government-issued systems.
- Seamless Integration – APIs plug easily into third-party software, automating trusted workflows.
The result: every approval, signature, and transaction becomes auditable, secure, and convenient.
RealSign: Secure Approvals with One Click
When paired with RealSign, digital signatures evolve from a convenience into a critical fraud defence.
- No repetitive form filling.
- No printing, scanning, or emailing.
- No misplaced or altered documents.
- Just “one click to apply and contract.”
For organisations, this means faster workflows and reduced fraud risk. For individuals, it means control and ownership of their digital identity.
