The global transformation of car leasing is essentially driven by one theme. Digitalisation. The future of mobility has an overwhelming digital component. Continuing to be a relevant player in the mobility industry means: going digital. It means entering a world where customers share their personal and financial details online, in order to choose their mobility solution. Where securing this data, is the company’s responsibility.
We have all embraced the possibilities of online. They continue to be fun, surprising and exciting. But we have also reached a level of maturity. Through news and social media, we were educated on the importance of data security. We read about cases of identity fraud and hackers, stealing our personal details.

In the field of security, updates are everything. There is no such thing as a completed security project; it is an ongoing process. One last tip: share every security move you make with your customer base and prospects. They will award you with loyalty, for taking their security seriously.
