LifeLock Offers 10 Tools for Identity Protection
With the recent addition of Command Center™ to their already extensive array of services, LifeLock now offers consumers an even more comprehensive suite of distinct identity theft protection strategies.
Since their inception in 2005, LifeLock’s continual innovations have made them an industry leader and a disruptive force in the identity theft protection industry. When many other companies offered only credit monitoring, LifeLock repeatedly added to their line of service, presenting new, proactive tools that took advantage of developing technologies.
Consumers can choose to enroll in the standard services that earned LifeLock’s reputation as an industry leader, or they can opt to enroll in Command Center for the most complete protection available from today’s state-of-the-art technology.
All LifeLock members receive the following services, no matter which level of protection they choose:
- Credit Reports – LifeLock orders your free annual credit report for you.
- Reduction of Pre-approved Credit Offers – LifeLock requests that credit issuers no longer mail the pre-approved credit offers that identity thieves can so easily stolen from your mailbox.
- WalletLock™ – If their wallets are lost or stolen, members can call LifeLock 24/7/365 for fast help canceling and replacing the documents that could lead to ID theft.
- TrueAddress™ – Re-routed mail is one of the easiest and most common methods of identity theft. TrueAddress monitors nationwide databases, and contacts members to confirm any address change requests are legitimate. If not, LifeLock immediately begins working with members to stop further damage, and restore correct address information.
- eRecon™ – LifeLock uses new technologies to monitor illegal Internet sites where identity thieves buy, sell and trade stolen information. If a fragment of members’ personally identifying or financial information is detected on these sites, LifeLock alerts the member and determines the best strategy for resolution.
- LifeLock Identity Alert™ System – LifeLock monitors, scrutinizes and scans millions of records to determine whether members’ information is fraudulently used for credit cards, wireless services, retail credit, utilities, check orders/reorders, mortgage loans, auto loans and non-credit related payday loans. If they detect suspicious activity, they contact the affected member by email, phone and/or postal mail and initiate recovery tactics with the LifeLock remediation team.
- $1 Million Total Service Guarantee – If a failure in LifeLock’s service results in identity theft, LifeLock assigns a dedicated specialist to assist with the recovery, and will spend as much as $1,000,000 to hire attorneys, investigators, accountants and case managers. Details and restrictions are available on the LifeLock website.

LifeLock members who opt for more extensive information and protection with Command Center also receive the following:
- Personal Data Breach Detection™ – The unregulated networks created by peer-to-peer (P2) file-sharing software are among the newest and most pervasive threats to information security. LifeLock scrutinizes these networks for any leak of members’ information. Identity SDS™ (Search, Detect, Secure) – This new service scours multiple non-credit related sources for changes to members’ personal information that may be evidence of financial identity theft or worse.

Payday Loans – Monitors these transactions and notifies members whose names or Social Security numbers are associated with payday loan activity.

Aliases – Lists records that do not bear the members’ name, but contain members’ Social Security number, driver’s license number, etc, which may be evidence of synthetic identity theft.
