A Better Mousetrap
After your risk analysis is done, there are still plenty of questions to ask your client. "What type of users will be authenticating the document? How many people will be authenticating? Are those who are authenticating sufficiently educated in security identification?," John LaBrant, regional sales director, value document inks for SICPA Securink Corp., Springfield, Va., said. "The most important aspect of adding security to documents is customer education achieved through communication. Printers need to work with their clients in a collaborative process and align security needs with the lifecycle of a secure document," he explained. "By designing a program which directly meets authentication needs, the printer can advise clients in creation of a cost-effective product with targeted security features, designed to defeat specific problems."
