What you should know The following are important reasons why

business owners, CEOs and key personnel of any size business, large or small, need to understand identity theft and how it impacts their business.

From their vulnerabilities, to the laws that may govern their business.

Identity theft has reached pandemic levels, surpassing drug trafficking as the number one crime in America!

1 in 5 Americans will have their identity compromised this year.

ID Theft isn’t just some nuisance crime.

Victims can spend countless hours and thousands of dollars trying to straighten out the mess when criminals assume the financial or character identity of someone.

Federal Trade Commission

It’s important to say right up-front….

The most difficult part of becoming an identity theft victim…

Recovering from the theft…

It is a life changing experience !!!

Reality Check

The FTC estimates more than 30 million Americans became victims of identity theft in the last five years,

and 41% of them were still dealing with the problem two years later!

Yet the attitude still persists…it always happens to the other guy! But what if the other guy is your employee? Or you? The potential cost may not be obvious at

first. And technically speaking, a business

can not be the victim of identity theft. But from a practical standpoint, there are many ways identity theft will impact your business, both directly and indirectly.

The fact is, anything that seriously affects a business’s employees, directly affects the business

FTC statistics show it can take an average of 600 hours for a victim to put their lives back in order. With approximately half of those being work hours.

That’s equal to 7.5, 40 hour work weeks.

Victim given little choice

It’s understandable why the victim has no choice. In order to put their lives back in order they are forced to deal with 9 to 5 agencies, like Social Security, License Bureau, Utilities, Banks, Creditor etc. etc.

So what are some of the hidden costs to your business? . You probably won’t write anybody a check

directly. Unfortunately, most employers fail to realize the enormous hidden costs:

First and foremost, is the employees lost time from work

Unfortunately, 99% of the time the employer has no idea what’s going on!

How else does identity theft impacts your business? Statistically: If you have 100 employees, 20 of them will be impacted in someway by

identity theft. Federal Trade Commission

Besides lost time, owners have to be concerned about reduced productivity, deteriorating quality of work and diminished quality in customer service.

Owner or key employee becomes a victim

Time it takes to recover is time away from your business.

Credit worthiness and viability of the business can be impacted.

Business reputation can be affected. If you do defense work or work that

requires security clearances, ID Theft can be disastrous.
