Lifelock Compared To Loudsiren
Comparing one thing to another is inevitable even when such a thing is identity theft protection by Lifelock or Loudsiren. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, evaluating one thing against the other is constantly happening. On occasion, because of this comparison, misunderstandings and even heated arguments arise. I have seen this happen recently in the identity theft market when two co-workers argued who was best LifeLock or LoudSiren. Usually I would remove myself from such a disagreement but in this case I started the “debate”. I really didn’t realize that people could care so much about identity protection. I just wanted to protect myself from identity theft and I didn’t even know that William used this type of company. A single question to one person set off quite the argument. At least these two were comparing similar things this time, you know apples to apples, because I have to admit I have seen them argue before about things that do not have the same qualities.
Anyways this is what they taught me. LifeLock is just like many other identity theft protection companies. They are the type of company that really does all the work for their clients even though some things could be done yourself such as placing a fraud alert. In order to get attention and show how confident they are in being able to protect your identity, Lifelocks CEO actually made his social security number public. This is indeed how I first became aware of this company. LifeLock is also able to continuously make a name for itself because they have been recognized by other companies. I am not positive about what these are but some awards were definitely named.
LifeLock has a ISO 27001 certification that proves that their security at company headquarters in Tempe, Arizona is first rate. They seem to have invested in such which makes them able to provide real protection of the private that people turn over to them. LifeLock is also perhaps the only identity protection company that can provide identity theft protection services to children.
As for LoudSiren, another identity theft protection company slowly climbing the identity protection industry ladder, they are also at par with LifeLock. They can actually speed up the process of your credit requests though I don’t know how. They also put a Loud Siren Safe Phone Number in your credit file that keeps personal phone numbers private. LoudSiren is the only identity protection service that does this. Also, during the credit approval request process, reporting fraudulent credit requests is easy to report to law enforcement by pressing a button on your phone.
LoudSiren has a patent pending technology that offers a secure interface for identity protection at least when it comes to fraud alerts. LoudSiren also provides an audit trail that ensures that the real person is doing the transaction and not just any other person pretending to be you.
Both LifeLock and Loud Siren place fraud alerts on your behalf and order your credit report. They also remove you from junk mails and credit card lists.
It appears that both companies are good but I am not positive about every detail as it was difficult to capture all the points made because neither person was talking to me they were just arguing with each other. I definitely have a basis for further research and I hope to share my findings with you shortly. If you want to learn along with me I have placed links to a great resource within this article.
