The FACT Act requires financial institutions and creditors to develop and implement a written Identity Theft Prevention Program to detect, prevent and mitigate identity theft related to covered accounts.

Tandem is designed to help create your program document, along with a custom employee training course over identity theft red flags.

Work through an easy multi-step process to develop your program. Use the same process to guide you through updating your information annually.
