Lionheart Assurance Solutions has a senior management team who is highly qualified to assist companies with such issues as identity theft. The combined experience of the team is well over 100 years. This means that clients can enjoy the benefits of about a century’s worth of business experience in a wide range of industries.

One of the things the team does is work with companies to help in reducing risks related to identity theft. The team begins by identifying potential areas that need to be addressed in relationship to information security. One of the things that they often find necessary to discuss with company executives is how identity theft can occur, how the scam artists operate and the consequences of a data breach on all parties concerned.

Aware of the potentiality of data leaks, the senior management team at Lionheart Assurance Solutions suggests employees have access to personal identity theft awareness training.

Without checks and balances or a system in place over how personal information is handled, employees, customers and the company itself could be at greater risk of an information breach. Whether electronic in nature or on paper, data can be copied or stolen. For example, all it takes for a file to be copied from a computer is a zip file inserted in the USB socket. Data breaches that lead to identity theft might lead to the possibility of investigations on how the confidential information was compromised.

Moreover, Lionheart Assurance Solutions suggests creating an ongoing program to safeguard data in all the various departments. These programs will vary according to the nature of the department. For example, in the sales department where customer information is stored in file cabinets and on computer screens, steps can be taken to ensure that there are locks on the file cabinets and passwords on the computers. Other steps may include asking the sales people to be discrete when sharing customer information, filing away logbooks and receipts and locking the door of the sales office when no authorized personnel are present.

The senior management team is adept at communicating what they know about identity theft to both the executives and the staff of a company. The various trainings to raise awareness, tailored to meet the unique needs of a company, provide important education to all employees. The sessions offered by Lionheart Assurance Solutions are designed to be both informative and practical.
