On a more serious note, your QR code strategy for document security should not be an afterthought.

We’ve found that many global organizations view QR codes as mere URL shortcuts, lacking a well-defined strategy for their implementation, especially for document security. They often rely on top search results for QR code generation and printing, believing that they have a solid QR code strategy. However, this approach falls short.

Secure QR codes are essential for document security in any organization, whether government or private. QR codes may be found on ID cards, invoices, purchase orders, or insurance policies requiring third-party validation, often unaffiliated with the issuing organization. The issuer must ensure the document’s authenticity is easily verifiable. Contact Qryptal for a more in-depth discussion on Secure QR codes tailored to your needs.
