Continuous Credit Monitoring – 3B

Lenders, creditors and many businesses check your financial data and submit their findings to your credit report. But not all report to the same credit bureau. IDShield monitors all three major credit bureaus to give you total awareness, alerting you to any changes and providing a complete view of your valuable credit standing.

Credit Freeze and Fraud Alert Assistance

Our Licensed Private Investigators will help you place a credit freeze and/or fraud alert on your credit in the event of a breach or other identity theft incident. If your identity is stolen, your assigned Licensed Private Investigator will issue fraud alerts with the proper reporting agencies, creditors and all three credit bureaus as needed.

Dark Web Internet Monitoring

Billions of records are for sale on the dark web, so real-time monitoring is vital. IDShield’s dark web and internet monitoring provides extensive scans of online sources for identity data and sends real-time alerts if your Personal Identifiable Information is found. We scan websites and data points across the dark web to see if your data has been exposed. Keep in mind the internet addresses of suspected internet trading sites are not published and frequently changed, so there is no guarantee IDShield is able to locate and search every possible internet site.

High Risk Application and Transaction Monitoring

Financial institutions use specific technology to verify the identity of new account holders before processing high risk transactions. IDShield monitors these processes to determine if details for a new bank account or large money transfer are associated with your personal data. Our application and transaction monitoring can potentially catch identity theft 90 days faster than traditional credit monitoring alone. Furthermore, IDShield can better secure your online financial records by monitoring unauthorized use of username and password combinations used for online banking or insurance accounts.
