RiskOS™ Dashboard Setup

Learn how to set up Silent Network Authentication (SNA) in the RiskOS™ Dashboard for secure, in-session phone number possession checks.

Set up Silent Network Authentication in the RiskOS™ Dashboard

Use Silent Network Authentication to silently confirm phone number possession during a session. Setting this up in a RiskOS™ workflow is seamless.


How it works

Socure Silent Network Authentication confirms in-session control of a mobile device using real-time carrier signals. When SNA is unavailable or risk signals are elevated, One-Time Passcode serves as a secure, configurable fallback.


Step 1 - Provisioning

Your account must be provisioned for the SilentNetworkAuth feature. Contact your Socure account team for provisioning.


Step 2 - Add Socure Silent Network Authentication enrichment

  1. In the RiskOS™ Dashboard, go to Workflows and create a new workflow or open an existing one.
  2. On the workflow canvas, select the plus (+) icon.
  3. Add an Enrichment step and select SocureSNA.

Step 3 - Configure Conditions

Connect the SocureSNA enrichment to a Condition to evaluate the result of the phone number possession check. In this example, we’ve renamed the condition to Phone Verified.

  • The result of the SNA check is stored in the variable: socure_sna_response.status

  • Click on the Phone Verified condition and choose socure_sna_response.status from the Variable dropdown.

  • Choose string contains as the operator.

  • Enter approved as the value.

Now, when the Silent Network Authentication check confirms that the user-supplied phone number matches the SIM-registered number, the condition will evaluate to true, and your workflow will proceed.


Step 4 - Handle Phone Number Mismatch

If the Phone Verified condition is false:

  • Add another condition on the false branch named Phone Number Mismatch.
  • Configure it to check if socure_sna_response.status contains phoneNumberMismatch.

If a mismatch is confirmed, reject the transaction (user does not have possession of the number). Alternatively, route to manual review or handle according to your policies.


Step 5 - Fallback to One-Time Passcode

If no mismatch is confirmed and SNA cannot complete (e.g., unsupported carrier, no SIM, or no cellular connectivity), fall back to an One-Time Passcode check to verify phone number possession. This ensures continuity and coverage for all users while maintaining a layered security approach.


Example workflow outcomes

  • Approved → Workflow continues normally.
  • Phone Number Mismatch → Reject or review transaction.
  • Unsupported / Error → Fall back to One-Time Passcode.
