The goal of IDT Consultants in Cumming is to help businesses better understand the issues and risks associated with data loss and identity theft and to help them better protect themselves against those risks, according to co-founder Michael Hill.

"The environment surrounding the protection of personal information and risks from data breaches has changed enormously in just the past year.
Almost every week we now see extensive publicity surrounding substantial security breaches - in all kinds of industries - from small and large
companies," Hill says.

"Just this year, the law of data breaches and identity theft has changed dramatically - and we can expect these changes to continue and expand.
Security risks will remain, because volumes of personal data that are collected, used and disclosed on a daily basis will remain substantial," he
continues.

"Companies - large and small - need to be aware of the increasing legal obligations arising from security practices, data breaches and identity
theft risks, and must be exploring all reasonable means," Hill says. "It can take years, even decades, to build consumer confidence and an instant to
shatter it."

The certified identity theft risk management specialists at IDT Consultants conduct seminars and training on data breaches and employer liability. The company provides a business with a proactive strategy for when sensitive information is compromised and educates the business owner and their employees on the risk associated with data loss and identity theft. Both the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Black Chamber of Commerce have endorsed the Affirmative Defense Response System, according to Hill.
