Why proving authority matters more than ever—and how On Behalf Of (OBO) changes the game.
What really happens when an employee acts on behalf of the organisation?Hybrid work, automated workflows, and generative AI have blurred traditional lines of responsibility. Employees switch roles, delegate tasks, and collaborate across departments—or even across organisations. Yet most companies still rely on static records to confirm who’s authorised to do what.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems help secure internal networks, but they weren’t designed to prove representation outside company walls. When someone signs a contract, approves a supplier, or files a regulatory report, the critical question isn’t just who logged in—it’s who were they representing, and were they still authorised to act?
Our latest white paper introduces On Behalf Of (OBO): a new layer of trust for modern businesses. OBO transforms internal access controls into verifiable, portable, and auditable authority. It ensures employees can prove they are genuinely empowered to act for their organisation—not just who they are, but what they’re allowed to do.
Discover how OBO can help your organisation build trust, reduce risk, and stay compliant in a rapidly changing business landscape. Download the full white paper here to explore practical use cases, implementation strategies, and the future of authority management.
