Create your Identity Theft Prevention Program with Tandem

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.

Step-by-Step Process

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

Identity Theft Red Flags

Start with our template list of red flags, created directly from the identity theft red flags rule, the FACT Act.

Then, customize the content, as needed, to provide additional insight into the procedures your organization follows.

Covered Accounts

Document the types of covered accounts offered by your organization.

Include details about opening and accessing these covered accounts, such as the methods, applicable red flags, previous identity theft experience and risk.

Red Flags Risk Assessment

Use your program details to inform the development of an identity theft risk assessment for each covered account.

Based on known red flags and your organization's history with identity theft, document the likelihood and potential damage of a covered account being opened or accessed fraudulently.

Dashboard

Review visual representations of your identity theft prevention program on a dashboard.

Evaluate useful insights into your red flags risk assessment, as well as a series of reports, designed to ensure your program does not contain any missing or incomplete data.

Training Course

Develop and distribute an identity theft training course, based on the red flags and covered account details in your program.

Enroll an unlimited number of employees in online training and generate reports to show training completion and effectiveness.

Downloads

Export your identity theft prevention program data in a variety of ways, including the full program document for your senior management, auditors, and examiners; an annual report template for the board of directors; and red flag checklists for your employees to reference while they are on the job.

These customizable documents are available in Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF formats.

"The Tandem Business Continuity Planning software has streamlined how we manage business continuity for our bank. Before Tandem, we lost files and had to update and make changes to a Word document. This software has helped us focus on the important aspects of business continuity and made it easier to update, train, and report to our Board of Directors."

"Tandem is extremely easy to use. I just started in the system (in earnest) and was able to quickly navigate through the steps. It’s very logical, comprehensive and I’m hopeful it will result in easier reports and exams. It’s a phenomenal option for a bank our size."
