Prepare for a Data Breach Today

Ease the impact a breach can have on your organization;
be ready for an incident before it occurs

Evolving global cyber threats impact Canadian consumers, regardless of their demographic characteristics. Developing an efficient and effective response strategy can help your organization equip customers with tools that help combat identity theft, mitigate impacts to your reputation and credibility, and rebuild overall trust. By taking a proactive approach to data breaches, organizations can better protect consumers as well as help to reduce their own financial losses.

 

Manage the consumer lifecycle from the moment a security incident is identified:

  • Consumer Notifications: Notify the potentially impacted population on behalf of the affected organizations via mail or email.
  • Dedicated Contact Center: Establish a dedicated call center to support the affected population with inbound calls related to incident specific FAQs.
  • Fraud Alerts: Guard against the use of Social Insurance Numbers in synthetic fraud and help protect to those that do not have a credit file (new-to-credit, minors, etc.).
  • Compromise Warning Statements: Indicate to credit report users that the legitimate applicant has been potentially affected by a data breach and to take extra due diligence during authentication.
  • myTrueIdentity: Provide support to consumers, such as credit monitoring and identity remediation information, to help strengthen your relationships and protect your brand.

Applications

Credit Monitoring

Provide consumers with a credit report and notifications to help them identify key changes in their credit history and uncover suspicious activity that may be signs of identity theft. In today’s virtual world, credit-monitoring alerts are a powerful tool to protect against identity theft, enabling quick action against potentially fraudulent activity, and provide overall confidence to potentially impacted consumers.

Identity Remediation and Education

Arming consumers with information about protecting their identities can be an important step in preventing identity theft and fraud from occurring or reoccurring. Consumers can receive preventative credit education and identity resolution information, including steps to take if they think they’ve become victims of identity theft or fraud. These added benefits enhance your customers’ overall experience.
