Personal information is everywhere and is easily accessible to identity thieves.
Identity theft reperesents America's fastest growing crime.
Last year, an estimated 10 million people were victimized.
Victims can spend up to 2 years and thousands of dollars clearing their name.
Identity theft can affect your ability to conduct normal daily affairs.
Your identity is your most important asset.
In 1997, we started designing identity insurance to be part of an essential foundation of protection that everyone should have. We added education, victim resolution services and other prevention tools that are all important to help protect your identity from loss and to provide meaningful remedies when you become a victim.
Protecting personal information is difficult because our personal information is virtually everywhere and remains easily accessible. While you can take steps to reduce your risks, the fact remains that no one can guarantee that you won't become a victim. Identity theft is more than just credit card fraud and with over 25 different types of identity theft, like healthcare, tax, insurance and criminal cases and with thieves becoming more sophisticated, each of us needs to take additional personal steps to increase protection.
To increase your protection, you should take advantage of the resources available to you. For example, you can obtain free credit reports, place free fraud alerts on your credit files, and even freeze your credit files. You can obtain computer protection in the form of virus, firewall, anit-malware and other computer software and hardware that helps protect electronic exposures. In addition, simple common sense protection practices like shredding sensitive documents, monitoring financial accounts, having good passwords, and protecting your mail are all appropriate.
In building any strategy or structure, you need to start with a solid foundation. That's why we created and now provide our Core Identity Protection®. It's your starting point and the essential foundation that protects you when all other efforts fail. From this foundation, you can build additional defenses that suit your needs and optimize your protection, like using free resources, good practices, computer security and credit monitoring. While an 'ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure', it is always important to realize that you can still be victimized through no fault of your own. When your defenses fail, you need credible solutions that help you regain your good name, your identity, your core asset, and that's what Core Identity Protection is all about.
As an original creator of identity protection, our objective is to help you defend against the risks and to provide the best resolution services and insurance coverage available to reduce the time, frustration, and expense associated with becoming a victim, whether you are an individual or a small business.

With our Core Identity Protection priced at only a few pennies a day, securing protection is prudent, affordable, and simply a smart choice. After all, your identity is your core asset and it deserves special protection. You should protect your identity just like you protect your home, autos, health and other valuable assets against loss.
