Truework Credentials: A Comprehensive Security Overview
Introduction
In today's digital age, safeguarding personal information has become paramount. At Truework, we empower individuals to own and control their personal information in a safe and secure manner. This approach is deeply ingrained in our service and culture. As a regulated Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA), we protect customer and consumer data under the highest regulatory standards possible, making sure our products and services remain accurate, trustworthy, and secure.
How Credentials improves applicant outcomes
Credentials allows applicants to share income and employment data directly from their payroll provider. Using Credentials helps individuals protect against fraud. The Credentials experience clearly highlights the business entity requesting information (e.g., lender) and what information will be shared (e.g., past two years of income history).
Data-sharing tools like Credentials help individuals accelerate the application process by putting you in control of how and when your data is shared. Until now, consumers have been required to manually download W2s and pay stubs from different systems to share source-of-truth income data directly with a verifier.
Truework Credentials changes the game by giving you the power to share income and employment data directly from your payroll provider. This user-permissioned technology also reduces the risk of data entry errors caused by manual processes, preventing unnecessary application delays.
How Truework protects consumer data
Truework Credentials empowers individuals to maintain control over their personal data and share it as they see fit. In a few steps, an applicant can securely share payroll information with a verifying party (e.g. lender) while using encryption best practices such as TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3.
Additionally, Truework strives to protect all applicant data at-rest, mandating at-rest encryption technologies on all systems, as well as envelope encrypting sensitive data stored within those systems. Through this, Truework can make sure that applicant data is safe and secure throughout all stages of the Credentials process. As a CRA regulated by the Fair Credit and Reporting Act (FCRA), we support any applicant's rights to control the accuracy and usage of their data. We employ the principles of least privilege to make sure applicant data is only processed by authorized parties, thus minimizing any associated risks.
