Adding your Information
The first thing we recommend is to add your Social Security Number and/or Postal Address. These are the first data points that we will monitor. IdentiSafe uses a sophisticated Very Early Warning System to monitor private and public databases for signs of early identity theft risk.
This system uses your SSN number, and the USPS address in your account to look for manipulations that indicate you are at risk. The system is running 24/7 with new information. All information is stored in a secure, encrypted database.
In the event that your information appears compromised, we will put a flag in your Dashboard along with instructions on how to protect yourself.
Common Questions
Do I need to add all of my info to be protected?
No, all that is required is your SSN number and/or your USPS address. These are the first data points that we will monitor, everything else is entirely optional. However the more information you provide, the better we can protect you.
Does IdentiSafe work outside of the United States?
Currently only the United States and Canada are supported, due to the U.S. Postal Service. There is no plan to expand into other countries at this time.
