Risk Assessment

With technology solutions that automate the processing of low-risk applicants whose identities are well established, agencies can focus scarce human resources on higher-risk cases.

As border and immigration agencies modernize their IT environments to become more person-centric, it is vital that enterprise architectures include:

• Background analytics: Applying background analytics helps discover good, bad and unusual patterns. By poring through historical data and translating enforcement experience, such as transactions associated with problematic behavior, you can perform automated searches for similar historical events. These patterns can be used in front-end risk assessment.
• Just-in-time risk assessment: Analytics provides a foundation for just-in-time risk assessment. By subjecting each new benefit or entry application to automated checks against characteristics associated with problematic behavior, the adjudicator can focus attention on higher-risk transactions.

By deploying technology solutions that automate the processing of low-risk applicants whose identities are well established, agencies can focus scarce human resources on higher-risk cases.

CSC has experience applying these principles in a variety of systems for border and immigration agencies such as trusted travelers programs and employment verification systems. With next-generation risk-assessment technologies, we can help border and immigration personnel make better use of resources, improve the quality and defensibility of decisions, and simplify and expedite low-risk travel.
