Are American Institutions failing to publicize the threat of business identity theft? This report seeks to find that answer.
This study by Company Alarm, the nationwide leader in business identity theft protection, sought to document both how much government agencies and private business and organizations know about business identity theft and how much they’re educating the public about it. Our findings show what Company Alarm has long suspected: that business identity theft is simply not a priority for leaders in government and business.
We started by identifying 287 American institutions that we thought would be well positioned to know about business identity theft and spread the word about it to the public.
We carefully reviewed the websites of these institutions to see what, if anything, they are writing about business identity theft.
Based on our research we have 7 recommendations we think could greatly help prevent business Identity theft in the future.
