Response times and performance characteristics vary based on integration type, input completeness, and request volume. High-throughput or batch use cases may require coordination with Socure to ensure appropriate configuration.

When used within RiskOS™, Sigma First-Party Fraud can be incorporated into workflows that route activity based on scores, reason codes, and supporting signals. Organizations define usage according to their fraud policies and operational requirements.

Reason codes highlight contributing factors associated with elevated first-party fraud risk, while risk signals provide additional context across identity, account, application, and transaction activity to support investigation and decisioning.

Third-party fraud typically involves misuse of stolen or synthetic identities, while first-party fraud involves abuse or misuse by individuals operating under their own identity, often reflected through behavioral patterns over time.
