Fraud and Compliance Risk Case Management System Checklist
Updates
Risk teams need state-of-the-art case management tools to operate effectively. Here are some features and workflows to consider when buying a risk case management system.
How well does case creation integrate with your rules engine? For example, does the vendor have a documented API to create cases automatically?
Case field flexibility
What fields does your case management system support, and can these be auto-populated from your existing data sources without manual work? Some common ones are name, description, assignee, status.
How long would it take your agents to investigate and make a decision? Your case management system should be able to support displaying data tables and visualizations catered to your specific investigation.
How flexible is the case management interface? Different alerts need different investigations, and data fields can change over time. Make sure your case management system can support truly customizable dashboards that allow you to visualize the data you need without waiting on your vendor or data or engineering teams.

Filtering
Does your case management system allow you to filter cases? Quick triage and retrieval of cases is important at scale.
Bulk actions
Does your case management system allow you to take actions on cases in bulk? Often you’ll want to archive a number of cases at once as you do regular queue cleanup.
Grouping tickets by entity id
Does your case management support grouping cases by case attributes like account, transaction, customer, etc.? Do you need to wait for your vendor to release these or can you configure these yourself?
Ticket analysis and dashboards
Does your case management system allow operations managers and risk analysts to understand where cases are coming from, false positive/negative rates, to offer improvements to reducing your case volume?
Choosing a scalable risk case management system is not easy, and especially if
