Fraud and Identify Theft are now common everyday attacks and a matter of concern for any business, no matter what their size, or market sector. It is therefore essential that they take proactive steps to defend the business. Garlik offer a security solution to these issues under the brand name of DataPatrol.

The most comprehensive service is called DataPatrol Defence Level 2, which purports to provide a wide range of services that encompass varying levels of protection. These include options to customise just how the solution meets your businesses specific requirements. In short, DataPatrol Defence Level 2 offers a very effective way to protect against identity theft, a every increasing risk, both reputational and financial.

DataPatrol Defence Level 2 provides individuals and either businesses’ own staff or their customers with the ability to take proactive steps to defend and protect their sensitive personal and financial information online. It does so by searching through billions of web pages, and millions of public records and commercial databases to give individuals an accurate reflection of where their personal information is available.

The product covers the main information types targeted in identity theft attacks. It provides the ability to protect most types of personal and financial information e.g. Names, Email, Store Cards, User ID’s & Aliases, Debit & Credit card Numbers, Password Number, Address, Bank Account, and Drivers License details, and so forth.

The Service monitors financial information such as credit cards, debit cards and bank account numbers on a daily basis, whilst making weekly checks for other, less risky data types.

The Service is very proactive. If Level 2 discovers that an individual’s information has been compromised online, it will immediately issue an alert, along with clear direction as to what action that individual should take to protect against possible identity theft or financial fraud.

In our opinion a further credit to this service is that the people behind Garlik are dedicated individuals. Unlike some services, we feel the service they provide has a much closer home-grown and personal feel, which is very different from some of the other large industry players.
