Why Progressive Profiling Reduces Drop-off

The 2024 Thales Digital Trust Index found that 22% of consumers abandon a frustrating online experience within a minute, citing password resets and re-entering information as the top frustrations. The diagram below shows why OneWelcome treats onboarding as a staged journey instead of one long form asked all at once.

TRADITIONAL SIGN-UP FORM (HIGH FRICTION) New Visitor Arrives at sign-up page Long Registration Form Every field requested up front, plus a new password to create Result: High Drop-off 22% abandon within the first minute Thales 2024 Digital Trust Index ONEWELCOME PROGRESSIVE PROFILING (LOW FRICTION) New Visitor Same sign-up moment Passwordless / Social Login No password to create or remember, profile filled in step by step Result: Higher Completion Account created in seconds Remaining details collected over time
Two ways to onboard the same visitor - a long form up front pushes users away, while progressive profiling creates the account first and collects the rest of the profile over time.

Thales OneWelcome Product Lines

OneWelcome Identity Platform

OneWelcome Identity Platform

The OneWelcome Identity Platform is the core of Thales's Customer IAM line - a modular, API-first platform that manages authentication, single sign-on, and identity data for B2C, B2B, and gig-worker users from one place, rather than stitching together separate login, consent, and fraud tools for each audience.

Organizations pick the Identity Apps they need - MFA, risk-based authentication, consent management, delegated user management - and combine them on the same core platform, so adding a capability later means turning on a module, not integrating a new vendor.

  • API-first, modular architecture - add capabilities without new integrations
  • Supports B2C, B2B, gig-worker, and workforce identities on one platform
  • Visual, no-code identity journey orchestration

Best for: Organizations that want one platform covering every external-identity use case - from a consumer web portal to a B2B partner network - instead of separate point solutions for each audience.

Digital Onboarding and Identity Verification

Digital Onboarding and Identity Verification

Handles the first moment a new customer meets your brand: identity verification, KYC checks, and risk scoring designed to catch synthetic identities and deepfake-based fraud, which OneWelcome's own materials note have become cheaper and easier to produce than ever.

Progressive profiling means a new user only provides what is needed to get started - the rest of the profile is filled in over subsequent visits, rather than asking for everything up front before an account even exists.

  • Identity verification and KYC checks built into the onboarding flow
  • Synthetic identity and deepfake risk detection
  • Progressive profiling - collects data over time, not all at once

Best for: Regulated industries (financial services, insurance, healthcare) and any consumer-facing brand where onboarding drop-off or fraudulent account creation is a measurable cost.

Delegated User Management

Delegated User Management

Built for the B2B and extended-enterprise side of customer identity: giving a partner, supplier, or distributor administrator the ability to manage their own users - inviting colleagues, adjusting access, deactivating accounts - without every change going through your own IT team.

One solution covers customer, supplier, and gig-worker identities in the same B2B relationship, so a partner with dozens of users on the other side does not turn into dozens of individual support tickets.

  • Self-service user administration for partner and supplier organizations
  • Covers customer, supplier, and gig-worker identities in one solution
  • Reduces internal IT and support load for external B2B accounts

Best for: Organizations with partner portals, supplier networks, or any B2B relationship where the other side needs to manage its own users at scale.

Externalized Authorization

Externalized Authorization

Moves access-control logic out of individual applications and into a centralized policy engine - so a change to who can see or do what is made once, in one place, instead of being redeployed across every application that enforces its own rules.

Policies are fine-grained and attribute-based rather than fixed roles, so access can depend on the combination of user, resource, and context that actually matters for a given decision, not just a role label assigned at account creation.

  • Centralized, policy-based access control - replaces per-application logic
  • Fine-grained, attribute-based authorization beyond fixed roles
  • Dedicated policy administration and runtime decision services

Best for: Organizations running many applications that each currently enforce their own access rules, and want one consistent, auditable authorization layer instead.

Consent and Preference Management

Consent and Preference Management

Puts data-privacy choices directly in front of the user at the moments that matter - registration, profile updates, marketing opt-ins - and keeps a full record of what was consented to and when, supporting GDPR and CCPA/CPRA obligations without manual tracking.

Because consent state lives inside the same identity platform handling login and profile data, a preference change takes effect everywhere at once, rather than needing to be synced across a separate consent tool and the systems that actually use that data.

  • Built-in consent capture, audit trail, and preference center
  • Supports GDPR and CCPA/CPRA compliance requirements
  • Consent state shared across the platform - no separate sync step

Best for: Organizations subject to GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, or similar data-privacy regulation that need a defensible, always-on record of customer consent.

Consent and Preference Management Solution Brief ↗

Deepfake and synthetic-identity fraud have become cheaper and easier to produce than ever, per Thales's own OneWelcome research. Identity verification built into onboarding is quickly becoming a baseline expectation rather than an optional add-on, especially in financial services, insurance, and other regulated sectors.

One Identity Platform for Every External User

Most organizations build customer identity piecemeal: one login system for the web portal, a separate consent-management tool bolted on for GDPR, a fraud-detection product for onboarding, and yet another system entirely for managing B2B partner access - each with its own vendor relationship, data store, and integration to maintain.

The OneWelcome Identity Platform treats all of it as one identity problem: authentication, consent, fraud detection, and B2B delegation are modules on the same core platform and the same customer record, so a change to one user's consent status or access level is consistent everywhere it matters, rather than requiring updates across four disconnected systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Customer IAM is designed for external users - customers, partners, citizens - where the focus is on low-friction self-service, large scale, and positive user experience. Workforce IAM is for internal employees where you have more control over devices and can enforce stricter authentication policies.

Yes - Thales Customer IAM includes consent management, audit logging, and data subject request support that helps organizations meet their GDPR obligations for customer identity data.

Yes - Thales Customer IAM supports integration with existing customer databases and identity stores through standard APIs and connectors, allowing you to add modern IAM capabilities without replacing your current data infrastructure.

No - they serve different audiences. SafeNet Trusted Access secures your employees and internal systems, where you control the devices and can enforce specific authenticator policies. The OneWelcome Identity Platform secures external users - customers, partners, and other outside identities - where the priority is a low-friction experience at much larger scale. Many Thales customers run both side by side.

Digital Onboarding and Identity Verification apply KYC checks and risk scoring at account creation, including detection aimed at synthetic identities and deepfake-based fraud - threats that have become cheaper and easier to produce, according to Thales's own OneWelcome research. Ongoing risk-based authentication then continues to evaluate sessions after the account is created, not just at sign-up.
