Prevention countermeasures

Prevention countermeasures are the most common and cost effective way to stop fraud. They prevent or limit the size of the fraud risk by reducing the likelihood and consequences of fraud.

 

Detection countermeasures

Detection countermeasures can help identify when fraud has occurred, disrupt additional fraud and reduce the consequences. Detection countermeasures are not as cost effective as prevention countermeasures. However, if detected early, the impact of fraud can be significantly reduced. 

Response countermeasures

Response countermeasures respond to fraud after it has occurred to help reduce or disrupt additional consequences. They are not as cost effective as prevention or detection countermeasures. However, the impacts of fraud can be significantly reduced (if implemented effectively).
