Is LifeLock Secure?
You have to wonder how any company that says it will keep your identity safe goes about securing the personal information they collect about their members. After all the huge data breeches that have happened this year, I sometimes think monkeys are running the show. Government agencies, universities, school systems, large corporations, banks, insurance companies, hospitals, even law firms have all lost sensitive data. PrivacyRights.org is a good place to find the latest 'happening'.
LifeLock knows they are under the microscope. They take on the burden of running a tight ship with strict security measures. LifeLock is ISO 27001 certified for data and operational security. That certification is the highest you can get and follows industry best practices.
Another precaution they take is to secure all data onsite. No computers anywhere outside of secure data centers have the member's critical information on them. That's important to me because it means no stolen laptops, no stolen backup tapes, nothing is misplaced.
Richard Rzasa is now LifeLock's CIO. He had a 24 year career in the securities industry as the CIO of TD Waterhouse – a brokerage firm. With that background, I'm guessing he knows a little something about keeping information safe.
LifeLock has my personal information but I don't worry about them losing it. They are my 'go to' guys for keeping my identity safe.
