5. How do these player cohorts compare on vision, coverage of capabilities, technology integrations, and reseller and partner ecosystems? 

The Approach 

We structured the work across three areas. 

Firstly, Redseer sized the authentication, verification and data privacy market by mapping segments across individual and business customer onboarding, employee screening and verification, continuous risk management, transaction monitoring, and third-party and asset risk assessment. 

Further, Redseer conducted a competitive benchmarking exercise, evaluating key authentication and verification platforms on operational maturity metrics and technological capabilities. Additionally, Redseer mapped the process flows across onboarding journeys to identify points of differentiation. 

Finally, Redseer assessed the regulatory environment, evaluating the impact of data protection regulations on governance frameworks and the implications for service providers operating across BFSI, Fintech, IT and ITeS, Telecom, Insurance, Retail, and Logistics.
