How to manage data accountability with Trusted Sources by Logalty

  • Data verification is now one of the key elements in guaranteeing the reliability of digital processes of any kind. In an environment of increasing fraud, errors and regulatory requirements, trusting unverified data poses a growing legal, operational and reputational risk for organisations.
  • Below, we will explore how solutions like Trusted Sources by Logalty help mitigate these risks, enhance traceability and transfer data accountability to the end user in a safe, transparent and lawful way.

The problem with unverified data

There are several risks involved in basing decisions or processes on documents furnished manually by the user:

  • They are easily tampered with or forged
  • The company is liable for providing proof in the event of an error, impersonation or legal dispute.
  • They are inefficient: they must be validated manually, slow down work flows and erode the customer experience.

We must bear in mind that fraud rarely starts with a major security breach: it starts with one piece of incorrect data. For this reason, verifying the origins has become absolutely essential.

Trusted Sources by Logalty: the new benchmark for verifying official data

Thanks to solutions like Trusted Sources by Logalty, it is now possible to retrieve official data directly from public bodies like the tax agency, social security authorities or the Bank of Spain with the user’s explicit consent.

Since these data are obtained through an automated digital solution in compliance with regulations, they cannot be manipulated and offer full legal validity.

Therefore, the use of Trusted Sources by Logalty radically changes the process: the data subject is the party that authorises its use and chooses what they want to share and who they want to share it with. This model not only empowers the user, but also generates digital evidence with probative value, thus ensuring compliance with regulations like the GDPR and eIDAS2.

Because it is no longer a matter of merely gathering information, but also of ensuring its origin, integrity and traceability, thus protecting both businesses and users.

Legal traceability of data

When critical decisions are based on data, ensuring the legal traceability of data goes from being recommended to becoming an essential legal protection. This means that having mere access to the information is not enough: it is imperative to be able to prove its origin, integrity and the user’s express permission to use it.

This ability to document the full history of the data —from its official source to its ultimate use— provides a solid defence in the event of audits, legal disputes or potential regulatory penalties.

For this very reason, one of the greatest benefits of solutions like Trusted Sources by Logalty is that they mitigate legal risks: by automating the verification process and ensuring digital evidence with legal validity, the data accountability falls on the users, as the parties who select the data, grant consent and electronically sign the transfer.

Beyond mere compliance with regulations, the idea is to legally shield the company starting with the first piece of data. Ultimately, progressing towards verifiable, traceable and auditable models is no longer optional: it is a business decision that protects the organisation from errors, fraud and legal vulnerability.

Trust, compliance and fraud prevention

In a setting in which 93% of Spaniards claim to be concerned about their digital privacy and 72% feel overwhelmed with managing their privacy, the use of verified data conveys a clear message: that your organisation takes protecting personal data seriously.

And this is not just a matter of reputation. 68% of citizens feel they will never have complete control over their privacy. However, this perception could change if the company displays transparency, legality and respect for data from the outset —and this is precisely what Trusted Sources by Logalty allows you to do structurally.

Each piece of data counts, and so does its source

Responsible digitalisation starts with reliable data. Therefore, verifying the source, ensuring its integrity and guaranteeing the user’s express consent not only improves processes, but also protects the organisation legally.

Adopting solutions like Trusted Sources by Logalty is no mere technical matter: it is a strategic decision. Because accepting data without verifying it means accepting legal, operational and reputational risks. And in a world where trust is more valuable than ever, the best defence against fraud is knowing exactly where each piece of data comes from.
