Our take on the local business landscape


Significant policies, trainings, and internal controls over the years have helped local businesses to weather down the impact of fraud. But with new ways of working as a result of the pandemic, new threats are emerging in organisations both internally and externally.

In 2021, we saw a distinct shift in the cyber threat landscape, with ransomware using current affairs as baits, supply chain attacks, phishing and impersonation becoming the most significant cyber threat faced by businesses globally and in Mauritius.

Preventing and detecting financial crime is quickly becoming one of the biggest challenges for institutions following the growing complexities in business processes, technologies, products and regulatory regimes, impacting the risk exposure of organisations.

These occurrences re-emphasise the need for cybersecurity and financial crime controls to be part of Boards' strategic conversations to preserve and protect businesses' assets against fraudsters


Key actions to protect your business' parameters

Understand the end-to-end life cycle

Identify where opportunities exist for a fraudster to exploit customer-facing products and cause financial, legal or reputational damage.

Strike the proper balance

Good user experience and effective fraud controls are both achievable, through the right combination of fraud technology, strategy and processes.

Orchestrate data

Consolidate data from disparate, disconnected systems into a centralised platform that can track the end-to-end life cycle of users (fraudsters or not) and generate meaningful alerts.
