TrustedID introduces Identity Threat Score

Posted by Caitlin on October 27th, 2009

TrustedID, our favorite identity theft protection service, has just added a new feature to help determine your personal risk of identity theft. TrustedID will assess millions of records on hundreds of public and private databases and analyze that information for patterns that could indicate if you have been or are about to be a victim of identity theft. Your personal risk will be represented by your Identity Threat Score, a number between zero and 500. That score will make it easy to understand your risk level, and it will also help TrustedID's protection specialists ensure that the necessary steps are taken to protect your identity. Since your financial and personal information is constantly being updated, your Identity Threat Score will be automatically recalculated regularly.

This new feature makes TrustedID's protection even more comprehensive. New TrustedID customers will enjoy this additional layer of protection at no extra charge.
