This year, the identity Fraud Prevention Awards have been launched as part of the National identity Fraud Prevention campaign. These awards will acknowledge and reward companies that are being proactive in their efforts and going the extra mile to prevent identity fraud. This should not only benefit the company, but also their customers as well.

Supporters of this award include: Fellowes, Equifax, Experian, National Fraud Authority, Metrpolitan Police and City of London Police.

Tyron Hill, marketing director at Fellowes Europe and spokesperson for National Identity Fraud Prevention Week said, “Keeping data secure is crucial for any business…Simple steps such as registering and checking your details with security schemes verifying customer identities with a credit reference agency or destroying documents securely with a shredder can help. We hope that these awards will help to educate and inspire other organisations to take up the fight too.”

 

It has also been claimed that by taking precaution to prevent identity theft happening in your business, you are also stopping further fraudulent acts and crimes being committed.
