Why Should All Businesses, Hospitals, & Governmental Bodies Be Concerned with Identity Theft and Identity Theft Compliance Laws? An ID Theft program could be the only line of defense employees and customers have guarding them against ID Theft. Additionally, potential individual civil liability, business-to-business liability, governmental civil liability and criminal liability (state and federal) can have significant impact to a company's overall bottom line. Lastly, political and business reputation fallout from an ID Theft liability can leave companies with unhappy customers and stakeholders.
Companies must have an Identity Theft Prevention program that will: Set up reasonable steps to protect Personally Identifiable Information of your clients and employees; create a "Culture of Security", that includes training and educating ALL employees so they understand why the information needs to be protected and that there are legal consequences for not doing so; oversee your service provider and contractors, and investigate their security practices.
