Sontiq is longest-standing company to receive
the Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA) Seal of Approval for
comprehensive identity theft protection and education
Intelligent identity security firm Sontiq, a TransUnion company,
is announcing its IdentityForce product brand has been awarded the
Parent Tested Parent Approved (PTPA) Seal of Approval for the ninth
year in a row. Additionally, IdentityForce was recognized by PTPA
with a 2023 Top Product award.
The recognition from PTPA Media, Inc. is the longest-standing of
any other PTPA-reviewed company and has been earned by Sontiq
annually through an unbiased review process involving select
families of its more than 200,000-product testing volunteers.
“What many people don’t realize is how often children are
actually targeted for identity theft,” said Sharon Vinderine,
Founder and CEO of PTPA. “Cybercriminals use children’s identities
because the theft can go undetected for years. At that point, the
parents and the child must pick up the pieces. That is why we’re
glad to have a trusted resource for protection and restoration to
recommend.”
According to a 2022 study by Javelin Strategy & Research,
the number of children whose personally identifiable information
(PII) was exposed in a breach increased year over year, with 1.74
million affected in the past year. Losses per child ID fraud victim
also increased to an average of $752. This danger is among the
reasons Sontiq uniquely focuses on solving the cyber and identity
threats facing families. The company’s Intelligent Identity
Security (IIS) platform provides parents access to innovative and
industry-first features like ChildWatch, which alerts parents to
suspicious activity involving a child’s identity.
Through the IdentityForce brand, the company also safeguards
families against modern digital threats such as cyberbullying,
ransomware and social engineering. Its protection offers both issue
resolution and financial reimbursement protection for the
often-hidden costs of these attacks.
In addition to top-rated identity theft capabilities, every
IdentityForce member has access to robust educational resources.
Tip-filled, actionable materials provide parents with proactive
steps they can take on behalf of themselves and their children to
reduce fraud and scam risks. Free webinars are available to watch
live or on-demand, such as the recent Spooked by Cyber Threats? How
to Take the Fright Out of the Top 5 Fraud and Identity Theft Scams
webinar.
“We are grateful for the recognition of our product by PTPA and
the opportunity to extend more help to families, who simply can’t
fight every cyber threat on their own,” said Terri Burton, Senior
Director of Product Management at Sontiq. “Children are
particularly vulnerable to identity threats in the digital world,
and we are committed to equipping families to fight back against
cybercrime.”
