Life Lock is the number 1 security solution for credit fraud, phishing, internet monitoring and theft prevention.
Identity theft is serious business. And with the staggering statistics of identity theft cases across the U.S. – Florida currently ranks #1 in identity theft complaints and 23% of identity theft complaints last year were filed by young twenty-somethings – getting reliable protection is no longer a luxury.
Identity theft has improved in sophistication and prevalence in recent years, due mainly to the proliferation of cybercriminals online. Malicious software, keystroke logging and phishing have resulted in compromised personal information and identity misuses. Nonetheless, the more traditional ways of carrying identity theft have remained very visible, as you can easily risk your identity and personal data through a stolen wallet, mail theft and dumpster diving, among others.
LifeLock provides identity theft protection to individuals, their families and businesses through their selection of products and service guarantees.
LifeLock – Protection in a Nutshell
The services of LifeLock extend to individuals and businesses. The company offers the LifeLock Individual plans aimed at protecting personal information to circumvent any possibility of identity theft. They also offer credit monitoring services to individuals and online identity theft threat scans. LifeLock protects against identity theft and responds to it in a timely, efficient and proactive manner. It does this by reviewing any attempt at identity theft or identity misuse, and contacting the individual involved to deal with the situation as soon as possible.
LifeLock relies on a 5-point protection scheme, which includes monitoring identities, scanning identity threats, responding to threats, guaranteeing services and finally tracking individual credit scores. A $1M Total Service Guarantee is provided to each enrolled client, while a range of LifeLock plans and products are created to suit unique requirements for protection and monitoring. It’s not surprising that LifeLock reported a 100% member satisfaction rate, substantiated by the Javelin Strategy and Research Survey of 2009.
Serving 30 different cities across the U.S. since 2008, LifeLock was the recipient of the 2010 International Stevie Award for its partnership with the FBI on identity theft education.
