IDTotal Response
was created to help the nation’s
local, state and federal
government and healthcare ,
corporations and educational
institutions plan for the
possibility of an identity theft
and data breach within its
organization. By “Data
Breach” we mean an
accidental or malicious incident
resulting in the loss of
personal information of
employees or constituents. This
personal information is often
used for individual fraud and
identity theft. The stealing of
information has become a
nationwide epidemic!
An Organization that DOES NOT
PLAN May be Exploited in a Time
of Crisis!
There is
no national benchmark for
pricing services to respond to
an information security breach
incident, and yet many states
attorney general will require
that you respond by providing
services to mitigate the risk of
identity theft to affected
persons. According to a
benchmark study by the Ponemon
Institute in November 2007, the
average cost of dealing with a
data breach rose last year to
$182 per person. This is partly
due the fact that, in a time of
emergency, the last thing you
can afford to do is shop around
for a fair price. Many other
firms providing Breach
Resolution and Response Services
have taken advantage of your
emergency.
