Vet Data Vendors and Partners

Are your partners treating your contacts with respect?

Maintaining data integrity and security is essential, which is why monitoring partner and vendor use of data is necessary. Are they calling and emailing consumers 300 times a day? That happened to us. Are they selling the consumer data without you knowing? Are they being secure with the data to prevent breaches or theft? Are they performing to your standards? If you rely heavily on your partners or vendors to manage sensitive information responsibly, we have the solution for you. Assumed provides real-time monitoring of how your partners handle the contacts under their care. 

Real-time monitoring with seeded contacts

Assumed uses a unique approach to data security by deploying seeded contacts. These are fictitious identities inserted into your vendor’s or partner’s contact lists. By doing so, Assumed can monitor emails, text messages, and phone calls directed to these seeded contacts in real time. This method allows businesses to understand how their data is being handled without alerting their partners to the monitoring process.

Alerts on excessive or irrelevant communication

One of the benefits of Assumed’s service is its ability to alert you to any excessive or irrelevant communication involving the decoy contacts. This feature helps identify potential issues such as spam, unauthorized marketing, or inappropriate use of contact information. By receiving these alerts daily or weekly, businesses can take action to address any problems before they escalate.

Unauthorized data use detection

Assumed also monitors for unauthorized use of data. This includes identifying instances where contact information is used in ways that were not agreed upon or expected. Unauthorized use of data can lead to significant reputational damage and legal complications. By detecting such activities early, Assumed helps businesses maintain compliance with data protection regulations and uphold their commitment to data privacy.

Ensuring adherence to data handling best practices

With Assumed, businesses can ensure that their partners and vendors adhere to data handling best practices. By continuously monitoring how contact information is managed, Assumed provides valuable insights into your partners’ data management practices. This enables you to enforce data handling policies effectively and maintain high data security standards across your business network.

Building trust and accountability

Assumed’s real-time monitoring service helps identify and mitigate risks and fosters trust and accountability among business partners. By knowing that everyone involved is managing data responsibly, businesses can build stronger, more reliable relationships with their partners and vendors. This trust is essential for long-term success and collaboration in any business environment.

Incorporating Assumed into your data security strategy is a proactive step towards protecting sensitive information and pushing compliance with data protection standards. Using seeded contacts to monitor communications and detect unauthorized data use, Assumed provides businesses with the tools they and their partners and vendors need to manage data effectively and securely. Trust in Assumed to help you maintain the highest data integrity standards and protect your business from potential data breaches.
