Compliance and identity fraud risks face evolving AI challenges

The Compliance Solutions Day 2026 in Austria brought together approximately 200 compliance professionals to discuss emerging risks, including deepfakes, AI integration, and regulatory challenges such as dawn raids.

Parallel data from Signicat indicates that while deepfake-related identity fraud attempts decreased from 4.70% in 2024 to 2.64% in 2025, traditional methods remain a significant threat. Presentation attacks using manipulated identity documents rose slightly to 13.03% in 2025. The report highlights that identity fraud continues to target the transaction and login phases even after successful onboarding, with 38% of attacks in the German market occurring during transactions.
