Lionheart Assurance Solutions, noting that identity theft is on the rise, is offering a unique set of services for companies that deal with sensitive personal information belonging to either their customers or employees. This consulting, training and employee benefits organization has specialized in offering employee legal plans and identity theft restoration coverage for employers of all sizes across the nation. When employees have access to legal counsel and a licensed fraud investigator to do the bulk of the restoration work should they become a victim, identity theft’s impact on employee productivity and performance is substantially reduced. This can have a positive impact on a company’s bottom line.
The Lionheart Assurance Solutions program is coordinated by a management team with more than a century of combined senior level corporate leadership. Independent Agents nationwide conduct training sessions to raise awareness of identity theft, as well as access to unique employee benefits providing true full restoration services to identity theft victims.
As the impact of identity theft continues to increase, the benefits of a specialized training program to tighten information security are enormous. Such a program not only assists in establishing important safeguards for each client company, but it also reduces the likelihood of negative press that often results in corporate data breach cases.
For the training Lionheart Assurance Solutions provides the tools needed to design a program to secure information, while also making employees aware of just how important it is to be vigilant when dealing with processing personal information. Employees are encouraged to be sure that after working with sensitive personnel or customer data that the information is not left carelessly accessible on desks, stored in computers that are not password protected, or put in file cabinets that are not locked.
Those companies that are proactive in educating their employees about how to mitigate their risks associated with identity theft can not only reduce their risk of litigation but are also better positioned to adequately defend themselves in the event that legal action is taken against them. The bottom line is that Lionheart Assurance Solutions’ services impact the way a company uses and protects personal information.
Lionheart Assurance also makes this identity theft awareness training and consulting available at no direct cost to the client company. Changing the way a company and its employees think about information security serves to level the playing field, giving small companies access to the same high level of information security programs as large corporations. After the awareness training, a company is able to put in place ongoing and effective policies and procedures aimed at reducing risks. In addition, the employer is able to establish a culture of awareness that ensures that all security guidelines are followed in the future.
