US Federal Agency Modernizes Web-Based Authentication System and Reduces Fraud with Real-Time Data Enrichment

A U.S. federal immigration agency that manages employee eligibility verification operated a web-based portal that lacked a formal employer-validation process. The portal’s unreliable, unverified business data left the system exposed to potential misuse and prevented accurate reporting on employer size, location and industry—undermining a mission-critical service that supports over 20 million verification cases per year.

The agency implemented Dun & Bradstreet’s real-time matching and enrichment via APIs, mapping registered employers to D‑U‑N‑S® Numbers to establish verified identities and detailed business profiles. This enabled near‑real‑time vetting of thousands of businesses annually, reduced fraud, freed staff to resolve exceptions and other priorities, and produced reliable analytics and accurate program statistics for improved oversight and trend analysis.
