When it comes to identity theft and compliance, prevention is the best medicine. ID Doctor is a comprehensive program that helps you to easily assess risks, create policy, implement security measures, and maintain an Identity Theft Prevention Program. In other words, ID Doctor helps you to build a defensible position from start to finish.
The ability to demonstrate to consumers and other businesses that you are taking steps to comply with the law and to protect information attracts new business. In fact, organizations that share consumer information with service providers are required to request proof that those providers have programs actively in place to detect, prevent, and mitigate loss due to identity theft. Gain your competitive edge in the marketplace by building your Identity Prevention Program with ID Doctor.

ID Doctor operates just like a medical doctor. Once you are a member, you can begin to secure your business by completing the following four actions:
Action One: ID Exam
Much like a new patient in a doctor's office completes a physical exam; a new ID Doctor member will complete the information Compliance and Awareness Process (iCAP) to determine identity theft issues that challenge the health and stability of their workplace. By working through iCAP, the new member will:
- Investigate Identity Theft, Fraud, and Information Security Concerns (Overview)
- Establish Roles and Responsibilities
- Define Confidential and Sensitive Information (CSI) and Information Systems
- Take Inventory of Information Assets
- Assess Risks to Information Systems
- Design an Identity Theft Prevention Policy
- Implement Security Measures (Overview)
- Monitor, Evaluate, and Enforce Identity Theft Prevention Program (Overview)
Action Two: ID Rx
When doctors find health concerns with patients, they may prescribe medication or refer to another professional. ID Doctor works in the same fashion. Some identity theft risks that are identified through the information Compliance and Awareness Process (iCAP) may not be remedied with policy and training alone. In these cases, the ID Rx is an on-line resource and referral center for applicable products, services, and professionals.
Action Three: ID Pulse
To keep current on the law, best practices, news, products and services, members rely on ID Pulse. ID Pulse is an electronic newsletter and briefing component of the ID Doctor Membership.
Action Four: ID Checkup
To maintain a clean bill of health, members must complete an annual assessment. The ID Checkup is an on-line checkup that asks a member a series of questions to determine how effective their Identity Theft Prevention Program has been over the course of the past year. When it comes to identity theft compliance, this is a common requirement.
Finally, Prove it!
The Consumer Information Protection Seal means business!
Once a member completes the program they can self-attest for the Consumer Information Protection Seal. They will receive:
- Certificate of Completion
- The Consumer Information Protection Seal to post on their website.
- A Consumer Information Protection Seal Sticker for posting in their place of business.
- Content for a letter and an email that can be sent to their customers about their new Consumer Information Protection Seal.
NOTE: There is a fee to attest for the Seal offered by the Consumer Information Protection Alliance, LLC.
