Each year, millions of consumers have their identities stolen. Identity theft is a serious crime, and can cost people time and money.
NON-COMPLIANCE COULD COST YOU PERSONALLY, or YOUR BUSINESS, up to $1,000,000 IN FINES and up to 10 YEAR IN PRISON.
As a business owner, you know there are laws every business must follow. However, results of a recent survey by zTelligence and Fellowes Inc., showed only 13.1 % of business owners recognize the term "FACTA". That could mean that nearly 87% of all business owners aren't aware that FACTA:
- Is federal legislation that went into effect June 2005
- Can shut your business down whether you have two or two thousand employees
- Provides for major fines to you and your business by the FTC for non-compliance
- Provides another avenue for lawyers to file lawsuits against your business on behalf of customers or employees
Businesses will now be required to implement effective policies related to all information security, or suffer the consequences.
YOU MUST MAKE A CRITICAL DECISION ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS. DOES YOUR BUSINESS COMPLY? Most business owners want to take action after they learned the requirements and potential consequences. But, many don't know where to start.
