U.S. Technical Advisory Group on Fraud Established

WASHINGTON, D.C.—The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has delegated the responsibilities of developing a United States Technical Advisory Group (TAG) on “Fraud Countermeasures and Controls” to the North American Security Products Organization (NASPO). This TAG will develop both national and international standards in support of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Technical Committee (TC) 247. The focus and scope of the U.S. TAG and TC is in the areas of brand protection, counterfeiting, identity fraud/identity management and the resulting financial fraud. These are areas of standards development that only recently have been recognized by ANSI and ISO as important areas of interest to the international standards organizations.
