  1. New Identity Force Certification Seal Identifies Merchants Committed to Fighting Identity Theft Identity Force today launched the Merchant Protection Program, the first and only data breach prevention and identity protection program developed to help consumers easily identify businesses that are committed to securing personal information and fighting identity theft.  Certified merchants will display a seal on doorways and cash registers to designate that they have agreed to compliance, education and consumer protection best practices.

    The certification, which is priced as low as $10 per month, begins with a compliance review covering PCI standards and state and federal laws, as well as a risk assessment.  Certified merchants receive customized fraud protection employee training, regularly updated policy recommendations, compliance updates, network scanning to identity potential vulnerabilities, access to fraud specialists and a $50,000 service guarantee to protect their customers, employees and business in the event of a breach.

    “When shopping online, consumers now know to look for a security seal.  We hope to provide that same uniform expectation when looking for a trusted brick and mortar business with our certified seal,” Bearak explained.
