Data Breach Recovery | ID Experts
“The Federal Trade Commission estimated that more than 27 million people became victims of identity theft in the past five years, and that 41 percent of them were still dealing with the problem two years after it occurred. The recovery process could take about 500 hours and cost about $3,000.”

Data Breach Recovery

In most breach situations, the odds are relatively low that any given individual will have their identity stolen. But for those who do fall victim to identity theft, the results can be devastating, and the resulting bad press and possible litigation can have significant impact on your business as well.

Fully managed recovery services from ID Experts help provide all breach victims with greater peace of mind, and ensure that the small minority who may fall victim to ID theft emerge satisfied and undamaged. Notifying the effected populations of a data breach also opens up the risk of false claims of identity theft. Our expert recovery services and documentation help protect your organization from false claims, and we can provide comprehensive documentation and expert testimony if litigation should occur.

Fully managed recovery options from our best-in-class identity theft recovery team ensure 100% recovery for theft victims.

  • Individuals claiming ID theft are assigned an ID Experts Recovery Advocate to manage their case from beginning-to-end.
  • ID theft victims complete necessary paperwork and return the documentation to their advocate. We do the rest of the work to assess their situation and, if needed, restore their identity to a "pre-identity theft" status.
  • Our experts analyze the individual’s credit reports, financial reports and other pertinent documentation to determine whether ID theft has occurred and assess the extent of the damage.
  • ID Experts Recovery Advocate disputes all fraudulent accounts or transactions and contacts all affected institutions (financial, medical, and/or government).
  • Full recovery of the victim’s identity helps prevent damages that might otherwise be claimed in future ligitation.
  • The case remains in the ID Experts system for 36 months after resolution and will be re-opened if any other events stem from the ID theft event.
