Welcome to ID Educators

In November 2007, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) issued sweeping regulations aimed at detecting, deterring and defending Identity Theft and related fraud. The FTC has postponed enforcement of the rules for the second time, now scheduled for November 1, 2009 to allow many businesses who previously thought they were exempt from the ruling, to implement their security program. A wide range of organizations including financial institutions, insurance, health care, mortgage, attorneys, auto dealerships, real estate, financial services and other business entities are required to comply with the FTC Red Flags Regulations.

We are Certified Identity Theft Risk Management Specialists, (CITRMS), the nation's only professional certification program specifically developed to train and equip business owners and their employees to understand and address Identity Theft and related fraud in compliance of the FTC Regulations.

Our clients represent a wide range of organizations who maintain an ongoing customer relationship requiring compliance under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA) Red Flags Rule and the Gramm, Leach, Bliley (G.L.B.) Safeguard Rules. We encourage all businesses to address this important issue to determine if your business is required to comply under these regulations. A general indicator would be for any creditor who does not require payment upfront for products/services, such as cell phone providers, utilitiy companies, managed care facilities, as well as any companies who collect nonpublic employee or potential customer information, including information collected during the prescreening admission, qualification, or employment process.

Information is the new gold, and businesses that hold protected consumer information in the normal course of business are the regular targets of information thieves. Under the mandates of state and federal legislation, businesses are challenged to keep up with continuously evolving requirements to protect nonpublic information of employees and customers.

Businesses may be held liable and penalized, through regulatory fines and penalties, sanctions, and even civil lawsuits and criminal penalties, if they do not adequately protect the private financial, medical, and other personal and confidential information of their clients, vendors, customers, and employees. Unfortunately many businesses, particularly small businesses and professional practices, are unaware of their requirements and the significant potential liabilities imposed by these regulations.

We assist businesses in understanding these requirements, areas of risk and potential liability, and other issues by providing training to employees to deter, detect and defend the business against Identity Theft and related fraud. Our senior trainers are best of breed and present the information in a professional yet memorable manner to insure the greatest employee retention of the subject matter information.
