What happened
- The blog states that ZealiD's analysis of onboarding data across professional services firms shows MFA drop-off rates for external clients above 60% in the first session.
- The blog states that the SRA intervened in 47 practices in 2024 and 2025 citing IT security failures as a primary or contributing factor.
- The blog states that Trust Circle is a workspace from ZealiD, a Qualified Trust Service Provider on the EU Trusted List since 2020.
