The risk

What can go wrong

Service agents update CRMs, change customer details and close accounts. Most changes are routine; a few — closures, contact-detail changes, discounts — are where fraud and mistakes cost the most.

  • Account takeover through the back office

    Changing the phone number or email used for verification is the first step in many takeover attacks. An agent can be talked into it.

  • Small changes that add up

    Discounts, waivers and goodwill credits are each small, but agents can apply them at a volume no team would.

  • Irreversible actions

    Closing an account or deleting a record cannot simply be undone if the agent misread the request.

Typical decisions

How GREENLIGHT typically decides

Each action an agent proposes gets one of four outcomes, with a reason a reviewer and an auditor can read.

Agent actionTypical outcomeWhy
Add a note to a customer recordAllowA note on the record is low-risk and reversible.
Apply a discount within policyAllowThe discount is within the policy limit.
Change contact details used for verificationRequire human approvalVerification details protect the account, so a person confirms the change.

One action, end to end

A change to verification details, end to end

What happens between the moment an agent decides to act and the moment your system changes. Figures are illustrative.

  1. 1
    Agent

    A service agent, following a chat request, proposes changing the mobile number used for one-time passwords.

  2. 2
    GREENLIGHT

    Verification details are protected, so the decision is require human approval.

  3. 3
    Fraud operations

    An analyst checks the request against recent activity before deciding.

  4. 4
    GREENLIGHT

    If approved, the change is released once; if rejected, it never reaches the record.

  5. 5
    Logbook

    Either way, the request and the decision are on the record.

Rollout

Start in shadow, enforce when you are ready

For this use case, as for every other, GREENLIGHT starts by watching. Nothing is blocked until you decide it should be.

  1. Shadow

    GREENLIGHT evaluates every action and records what it would have decided. Nothing is blocked, so you can measure before you change anything.

  2. Advisory

    Decisions are returned to the agent and to your teams as recommendations, and policies are tuned against real traffic.

  3. Enforce

    Holds and blocks are switched on workflow by workflow, starting where the risk is highest and the evidence is clearest.
