Identity Theft Compliance

The government requires businesses to fulfill four regulations to be compliant with the law.

1. They must have a written privacy policy and enforce it.
2. There must be an individual to oversee your privacy policy.
3. Employees must be trained regarding privacy policy and identity theft.
4. Businesses must have a plan for mitigation.

The “fair trade commission” has what is referred to as “reasonable measures” for protecting nonpublic information. All businesses must be able to show that they have a written security plan that they follow.

Since identity theft is a growing profession in the United States the FTC is diligent about enforcing its policies and penalties for not guarding personal data.

The consequences associated with the loss of customer/employee data are severe without the proper program in effect. Your business could be penalized, lawsuits, shut down and negative publicity associated with security breach. Take the necessary steps to avoid this from happening.

In one session, the Identity Protection Institute provides businesses with solutions to help protect customer and employee personal information. They also supply the necessary information for training employees regarding the four necessary requirements regulated by the government. They are as follows: privacy policy, appointing a security compliance officer, mandatory training program and mitigating a plan.

The Identity Protection Institute's employee training follows the guidelines of registration. After the mandatory employee training session, incorporating the four regulations, the Identity Protection Institute provides your company with official certificates proving that your company's employee training has been completed.

These are signed documents demonstrating that your company has taken reasonable measures and actively working to comply with the laws for identity theft.
