INDUSTRY TRENDS
***New Legislation to Impact All Businesses in 2008 *** In January 2008, the federal government put into effect final guidelines on identity theft legislation commonly called 'Identity Theft Red Flags Rule,' which requires all businesses from solo practitioners to nonprofit organizations and Fortune 50s to protect themselves, their customers and employees from identity theft. Businesses must comply with the Red Flags Rule by November 2008. Most are unaware of the law, let alone know how to comply. Over $52 billion in losses were sustained by businesses last year due to the crime of identity theft, and the average identity theft victim spends 600 hours -- mostly during the business day -- restoring their identity.
