The Trust Ledger: Why Identity Fraud Is Outpacing Trust - and What We Can Do About It

If you're using a tool for signing and a separate tool for identity verification, you're not alone. To fill the gaps, businesses bolt on additional tools: one for ID verification, another for notarization, a third for audit logs. Each new vendor solves a problem, but also adds complexity, cost, and operational drag. Proof Sign replaces all of that with one secure platform. It combines eSign, identity verification, fraud detection, notarization, and audit trails in a unified experience that’s faster, safer, and far more efficient.

eSign tools all look the same…until they don’t. On the surface, most platforms offer a simple workflow: upload a document, tag a few fields, send for signature. Easy. But under the hood, there’s a world of difference between platforms built for speed, and those built for security, compliance, and scale. For businesses that care about fraud prevention, identity assurance, and full lifecycle visibility, the default options are starting to show their limits. Proof Sign offers a smarter alternative.

The 2025 Global Cybersecurity Outlook from the World Economic Forum makes one thing very clear: thinking about it isn’t enough. This year’s report confirms a widening gap between awareness and action, especially when it comes to identity-based attacks, governance, and workforce readiness. The wake-up call: identity threats are rising, defensive measures are unevenly and inconsistently applied, and it’s expensive when fraudulent transactions are missed.
