FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CIC CREDIT, INC Helps Mortgage Companies Gain Red Flag Compliance
Nashville, TN 37212 - [September 24, 2008] - CIC Credit, Inc has partnered with the National Credit Reporting Association, Inc. (NCRA) and NXG Strategies, LLC. (NXG) to present "Bridge to Red Flag Compliance for Mortgage Companies," a Red Flag compliance workshop exclusively available for mortgage companies working with NCRA-participating Credit Reporting Associations. CIC Credit, Inc has sponsored this program to make sure that its mortgage company clients are fully aware of the Red Flag requirements, and able to respond to this legislation in a timely and complete manner.
"Bridge to Red Flag Compliance for Mortgage Companies" provides a concise explanation of FACTA Sections 114 and 315 (the Red Flag Rules), and guides participants through the steps necessary to implement a comprehensive, low-cost plan for the requirements before November 1. The 90-minute workshop includes templates that provide structure for the entire Red Flag compliance process, from current situation analysis and the determination of "covered accounts," to completing and implementing a Red Flag Written Plan.
Upon completion of the workshop, participating mortgage companies will receive a one-year subscription to IDSafeResponse, an emergency breach response program, at no cost. In the event of an information security breach, malicious or accidental, this subscription ensures that breach response and mitigation professionals will develop and implement a response plan tailored to the situation within 48 hours of the reported event, supporting GLBA Emergency Incident Response Planning and state-required Data Breach Notification.
Mortgage companies also will receive a quarterly newsletter, complete with the most up-to-date information to keep their Red Flag Written Plans in compliance with the legislation's requirements.
To assist mortgage companies and other creditors comply with Red Flag by November 1 without rushing into long-term contracts, NXG Strategies has developed the IDSafeChoice Red Flag Bridge. This turn-key solution for identity theft detection, prevention and mitigation is a low-cost, no set-up program that provides creditors with Red Flag compliance while maintaining a flexible contract term. This gives these companies time to compare programs, budget appropriately, or develop a long-term Red Flag compliance strategy.
