The Truth about Identity Theft
A closer look at the fastest growing trends.

 

 


 

 

 :::Employee Facts:::

 

 

Employees can take up to 600 hours, mainly during business hours, to restore their identities

- CIO Magazine,



 

Assuming an employee minimizes work time spent on such matters-keeping time spent to only a couple of hours per week and under 100 hours for the year-this would represent a 5% productivity loss for an employee working 40 hours per week.

"The single largest cause of identity theft is poor information management practices by organizations that collect data on their customers.

 

Security measures implemented by most companies are not enough to prevent identity theft - organizations must develop a 'culture of privacy' that incorporates high standards for data protection, limits data collection to essential information only, and then limits access to that data. Leaving personal data unencrypted in large databases is asking for trouble from both insiders and hackers alike."

"THE COMING PANDEMIC"

 

"FTC studies estimate that victims of identity theft spend $5 Billion to undo its harm.  While businesses lose nearly $50 Billion in revenue annually.

 

   

 

 


When it comes to cleaning up this mess.  Companies on average spend 1,600 work hours per incident at a cost of $40,000 to $90,000 per victim.

"In this era of data breaches and identity theft, chief privacy officers working hand-in-hand with security groups play a crucial if little-known role in protecting identifiable personal information..."   more
