ID THEFT SOLUTIONS OF AMERICA Launches New “ADRS” to help Companies and Individuals Comply with New Federal ID Theft
Laws
Austin, TX – March 14, 2007- Any employee, or employer who handles personal and confidential information of ANY kind is
at risk of violating Federal ID Theft Laws. Punishable by up to 10 years imprisonment and one million dollars in fines,
The Gramm- Leach- Bliley Safeguards Rule, HIPAA, and FACTA (Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act) allow for employers
of ANY kind to be found guilty of stealing Someone else’s Identity without even knowing that they did it; that includes
schools and municipalities. ID Theft Solutions of America is proud to have launched what they feel is the best
“Affirmative Defense” against potential fines, fees and law suits regarding non-compliance with these Federal ID Theft
Laws….and they do it at no cost to the business.
“Our ‘Affirmative Defense Response System’ (ADRS) was developed to provide businesses and their employees a way
to minimize their risk regarding Identity Theft,” says Managing Partner Jason Lavender. Those risks and liabilities can
mean companies losing millions of dollars as a result of fines and lawsuits, and thousands of hours of productivity from
their workforce in the event of a data breech or Identity theft incident.
According to Chief Information Officer Magazine, Companies spend an average of 1600 work hours and $40K-$92K recovering
from a security breech; Individuals spend an average of 600 hours. ID Theft Solutions of America provides detailed no-fee
analysis of a company’s current exposure and liability risk, as well as develops and implements an action plan in writing
with benefits to help protect both the employer and the employee.
Whether a company rarely handles non-public information or does so on a daily basis, the risk of that data being lost
or stolen is growing daily. According to the FTC more than half of ID Theft comes from the workplace. Personal information,
such as credit card receipts, job applications & social security numbers, in the hands of the wrong people can mean serious
legal implications for companies as well as the employees.
