About the credit and identity risk assessment service for
small
business owners, individual consumers and their families.
Business owners are liable for
security breaches. The Federal Trade Commission recently fined
a mortgage company $50,000 for violating national Disposal, Safeguards
and Privacy rules by leaving loan documents with sensitive information
in and around an unsecured trash bin
Small Business Owners: As an
Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialist, you
will
have already gained the knowledge, skills and techniques necessary to
assist the small business owner
by showing them how to conduct a complete review and assessment of their
risk of becoming a liable
for damages and or penalties because of the way they handle, or perhaps
mishandle their customers
credit, medical, insurance and other confidential information
during the course of their normal business
operations. This assessment may also include to the owner's
personal information and extend to his or
her workers, as an employee benefit. Depending on the size
of the small business and the amount of
sensitive customer information they may control, a review and assessment
of the improvement measures
to employ which will result in minimizing their risk may take from two
to six hours. The hourly billing would
be consistent your current hourly rates.
CITRMS® also
have access to an ICFE exclusive Identity Theft Seminar* complete with
over 75 PowerPoint slides, a complete easy -to-read script, press
releases, invitation letters, handouts, and review forms all in a neat
carrying case. The valuable training and insights gained with your
Certification training uniquely equips you to authoritatively talk and
present a seminar on credit and identity theft risks. All ICFE
Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialists™
are entitled to a special discounted price
for this comprehensive seminar package.
Consumers:
Over 150 million data
records of U.S. residents have been exposed due to security breaches
since 2005.
Everyone is at risk.
A review of an individual consumer's personal financial, insurance, and
other confidential family information - from their credit reports to the
way they might receive their printed checks in the mail, to also include
how the information is stored and, equally important, the manner of its
disposition is the initial part of process. The assessment is done with
the client present and importantly will include suggestions on how to
make one's situation more secure and less available to others, whether
family members or criminals.
Typically, the first step is to have the client(s) empty out their
wallet or purse on the desk in front of you.
What you are looking for is incriminating items with a SS#s and other
information they may be carrying
around that could harm them. The average interview and assessment
takes about an hour and a half to two
hours. The assessment also includes corrective and cautionary steps to
take to minimize the risk and guard
against the crimes and also receive an important list of things they
should always do to guard against both
credit and identity theft.
You will explain how and why
current practices, disposition without first shredding, for instance,
may increase their risk of their credit and other identity information
fall into the hands of miscreants and even organized crime. Should
your service include a review of credit files, any changes and
corrections and you may suggest may be made using the ICFE's
Do-It-Yourself Credit File Correction Guide.
