Announcing the Cloudmersive Fraud Detection API
3/4/2026 - Brian O'Neill


Fraud Detection Concept

We’re excited to announce the launch of our new Fraud Detection API!

This latest addition to our suite of AI-powered security tools detects fabricated, manipulated, and AI-generated content in documents.

Like all Cloudmersive security APIs, AI Fraud Detection is powerful and easy to integrate within your existing security architecture.

Why fraud detection matters in document workflows

Spotting fraudulent documents has always been a difficult security challenge. Sophisticated threat actors have always found ways to mimic legitimate documents convincingly and bypass document security policies.

Since the introduction of GenAI, however, the scale of that security challenge has increased dramatically.

Jail-broken GenAI models have become popular on the black market, and they’ve made it much easier for less sophisticated threat actors to generate convincing fraud and launch large scale fraud campaigns. This has increased the amount of fraud we can expect to see entering our network.

What the Fraud Detection API Does

Cloudmersive AI Fraud Detection combats high-quality fraud at scale on behalf of your organization.

Let’s take a closer look at how AI Fraud Detection works.

Breaking down AI Fraud Detection analysis & outcomes

The Fraud Detection API analyzes documents and returns a risk score and a clean result diagnosis. The risk score (0.0 – 1.0) describes the likelihood (i.e., risk) that the document contains some form of fraudulent content.

Scores at the higher end of the risk score range are high-risk fraud, and they receive a clean result: false diagnosis. Scores at the lower end of the risk score range are low-risk fraud, and they receive a clean result: true diagnosis.

Risk scores are also accompanied with an analysis rationale. This rationale is a natural language description which justifies how the underlying Fraud Detection model arrived at its risk score and clean result conclusions.

Additional context for AI Fraud Detection analysis

In addition to the risk score, clean result, and analysis rationale, the Fraud Detection API offers several document classification indicators. These indicators (listed below) are descriptive and neutral, identifying what types of clauses or elements are present within the scanned document.

  • Contains Financial Liability
  • Contains Sensitive Information Collection
  • Contains Asset Transfer
  • Contains Purchase Agreement
  • Contains Employment Agreement
  • Contains Expired Document
  • Contains AI Generated Content

A Contains Financial Liability document, for example, is not inherently risky; however, a high risk score accompanied by a Contains Financial Liability response indicates a significant financial security threat to your business.

Integration with the broader Cloudmersive platform

The Fraud Detection API works seamlessly alongside other Cloudmersive APIs in both new and existing automated workflows.

Fraud Detection fits naturally in workflows involving Document AI processing actions. You can, for example, call the Fraud Detection API prior to calling the Field Extraction API to avoid parsing data from an illegitimate document.

It also fits well in any document security workflow at the point of upload. For example, it's a good idea to assess fraud risk directly after the Virus Scan API finishes scanning the document.

Finally, Fraud Detection is built into Email Protect, which is Cloudmersive's comprehensive email security solution. Email Protect detects viruses, malware, fraud, phishing, spam, and NSFW content before it enters your inbox.

Flexible deployment models

As always, Cloudmersive customers have the option to deploy the Fraud Detection API following several unique deployment models:

  • Managed Instance deployments leverage dedicated, managed infrastructure with SLAs, customizable deployment, and security.
  • Private Cloud deployments can take place on the customer’s premises or in a cloud platform of their choice.
  • Public Cloud deployments leverage Cloudmersive’s multi-tenant public cloud offering.
  • PaaS deployments take advantage of Azure App Service or Azure Kubernetes Service offerings.
  • Government Cloud deployments take place in a specified government cloud region, suiting the data governance requirements of government entities.
