There are a variety of legitimate reasons for failures to collect:

  • Client networks, e.g., low bandwidth, network handovers, dropped connections, and Mobile Carrier TCP idle management

  • Remote software e.g,. ad blockers, OS/user privacy controls, endpoint client security

  • Corporate VPNs, e.g., traffic restrictions, content filtering, firewalls

  • Geographical latency e.g,. round-trip between client->proxy->Feedzai

  • Infrastructure configuration, e.g., traffic management, TCP management

A number of the above (ad blockers, OS/user privacy controls, content filtering) can be partially mitigated with the implementation of the Digital Trust control flow.

However, across client-side telemetry tools, you can still expect a 1-3% failure rate. This failure rate is in keeping with industry norms.

As part of any risk strategy, we recommend considering the absence of Digital Trust risk assessment as a signal in and of itself. But importantly, this should be considered alongside additional external data points and context(s) to optimize the trade-off between risk and false positives in line with an operational strategy. Here are some considerations of what else to consider when there is no Digital Trust risk assessment available:-

Layered Fraud Controls

  • Refer to other risk systems for real-time insight: 

    • E.g., spending patterns, outbound reputation, etc., all possible via monetary transactional risk analysis systems.

  • Request additional authentication assurance, e.g., step-up

Fraud loss exposure

  • Risk exposure stances may change:

    • E.g., time of year, fraud patterns, individual payment amounts, cumulative payment amounts.

Operational Response

  • Manual review of alerts

  • Delay in payment processing

  • Restrict user entitlements

    • E.g., view only, payment limits


If you have noticed an unusual volume of missing sessions, please open a support ticket and include a list of the specific Session IDs that were not found in the Digital Trust console. This will allow our team to investigate why these particular sessions were not captured.
