RiskOS™ Dashboard Setup
Learn how to set up Sigma First-Party Fraud in the RiskOS™ Dashboard to detect and prevent repeat bad actors, chargeback abuse, and payment fraud.
Set up Sigma First-Party Fraud in the RiskOS™ Dashboard
Before you start
Make sure you have the following:
Your account owner or administrator can enable this for you. If you're unsure who to contact, reach out to support for assistance.
If this is your first time working with workflows, review the Workflow overview to understand inputs, enrichments, routing logic, and decisions.
How it works
Sigma First-Party Fraud is a fraud detection enrichment available in RiskOS™. It evaluates identity and account attributes against consortium data to identify signals associated with first-party abuse.
Sigma First-Party Fraud returns:
-
Fraud risk scores: Indicate the likelihood of first-party abuse.
-
Risk signals: Surface relevant behavioral patterns and anomalies.
-
Reason codes: Explain the contributing factors behind the assessed risk.
These outputs can be used to inform routing, review, or escalation decisions in your workflows.
How Sigma First-Party Fraud fits into a workflow
In RiskOS™, workflows are built by connecting reusable components. Sigma First-Party Fraud is added as an Enrichment step.
Once the enrichment runs, its outputs are available to downstream workflow components, including:
- Conditions
- Decision rules
- Rule score cards
- Manual review steps
- Final decisions
For more detail on these components, see Workflow Steps.
Execution flow in RiskOS™
Sigma First-Party Fraud runs synchronously as part of a RiskOS™ workflow. There is no user handoff or pause in execution.

At a high level, the execution flow looks like this:
-
Input
You call the Evaluation API with identity and account attributes. -
Sigma First-Party Fraud enrichment
RiskOS™ evaluates the provided attributes against consortium data and returns fraud risk scores, signals, and reason codes. -
Routing logic
The workflow evaluates risk scores, signals, and reason codes. -
Decision
The workflow returns a final outcome (for example, Accept, Review, or Reject).
Workflow components used by Sigma First-Party Fraud
Sigma First-Party Fraud uses a subset of standard RiskOS™ workflow components.
| Component | Purpose | Typical input | Output / What to use next |
|---|---|---|---|
| Input | Start an evaluation | Identity and account attributes | Workflow execution begins |
| Enrichment | Detect first-party fraud | — | Risk score, signals, reason codes |
| Condition | Branch based on risk or signals | Fraud risk outputs | Route to appropriate path |
| Decision Rule / Score Card | Apply policy or scoring logic | Fraud risk outputs | Pass/fail or cumulative risk classification |
| Decision | Emit final outcome | Routed value | Accept / Review / Reject |
Configure Sigma First-Party Fraud
Add Sigma First-Party Fraud to a workflow
- In the RiskOS™ Dashboard, go to Workflows and create a new workflow or open an existing one.
- On the workflow canvas, select the plus (+) icon.
- Add an Enrichment step and select Sigma First-Party Fraud.
After the enrichment is added, its outputs can be referenced by downstream workflow logic.
Configure inputs and routing
Sigma First-Party Fraud evaluates the identity and account attributes provided by your workflow. Providing complete and consistent inputs improves matching accuracy and risk assessment.
You can use Sigma First-Party Fraud outputs—including risk scores, signals, and reason codes—to configure routing logic that supports outcomes such as Accept, Review, or Reject.
Routing strategies should align with your organization’s fraud policy and risk tolerance.
Save and publish
Once your workflow is configured, publish it to go live.
