Subscribing proactively not only prepares your business in the event of a breach, but it can be more cost-effective than waiting until after a breach has occurred.
With a more comprehensive suite of capabilities, you can reduce risks and take additional action to improve your customers' confidence. Our services can help you determine more effective strategies:
- Credit Monitoring—Provide consumers with a credit report and notifications to help them identify any key changes in their credit history and uncover suspicious activity that may be signs of identity theft. Trained specialists are ready to assist in cases of identity theft.
Subscribers typically offer their customers one-time access to credit reports and one year of monitoring. Alternatively, we can customize the program for your organization, such as offering unlimited access to credit reports and alerts for any period from three months to two years or more.
- Compromise Warning Flag—A warning flag is placed on each consumer's credit report to help your organization and your consumers reduce additional risks. This flag quickly identifies consumers affected by a data compromise to help prevent unauthorized use of their sensitive personal information.
- TransUnion Fraud Victim Assistance—Consumers who suffer losses due to a breach have access to exclusive identity theft resolution assistance, as well as comprehensive education, prevention and fulfillment materials through our online membership centre.
