 Identity Theft Business Solutions

We have partnered with the leader in the industry offering the most comprehensive identity theft mitigation program available today. Our system can protect not only employees/individuals but your organization. We help ensure your employees, customers, members, readers, and/or other associates remain focused on the business at hand, not on dealing with their legal and identity theft issues. By educating your employees and raising their awareness on the reality of identity theft this can help to reduces the risk, and potentially prevent data breaches from occurring within your organization.

We Will Help You

        - Set up reasonable steps to protect non-public and personal identifiable information
        - Create a Culture of Security
        - Set up a Potential Affirmative Defense
        - Protect employees and customers while potentially decreasing your exposure and    
           liability.

1.) We help by providing a sensitive information policy template that does not have to be created or purchased.

2.) We help the General Manager by conducting the required employee training on the reality of identity theft and the new sensitive information policy. (we provide the acknowledgement documentation to include in the employees' file)
        - The employees will understand their responsibilities in the proper handling of
            customer, vendor, and employee information.

3.) We help the employees by offering an identity theft mitigation plan that gives access to nation wide legal counsel; this is a family inclusive life events legal plan with 24/7 emergency access, continuous credit monitoring, and true restoration when their identity is stolen. This mitigation plan helps the business owners by acting as a potential early warning system additionally, it helps to minimize the risk and potentially mitigates damages both to employees and businesses when identity theft and/or a data breach occurs. (opt in/opt out required - we provide the document to include in their employee file)
         - This mitigation plan is offered to the employees as voluntary payroll deduction, 

             subsidized, or full fringe.

4.) It is recommended to appoint or re-appoint a chief information officer and include the duties of overseeing this new identity theft program. (we provide documentation template to assist you with this task)

5.) With the business owner's approval, and sending a letter to their third party vendors, we will help oversee the vendor management, follow up, and verification process. With the understanding that "Liability follows the data," this is an integral part of the compliance process.

We offer this complete program at little to no

direct cost to the business.
