These days most of us have a ‘life online’ – whether that is internet banking, online shopping or connecting with people via social networks.

There is no doubt that the instant access, the convenience and the ability to connect with people and businesses has enriched our lives. However, all of this requires us to share personal and financial information online - across many websites. As a result, there are risks associated with ‘our lives online’. Criminals can easily find out who we are, what we do and where we go. Armed with this data, they can hijack our bank accounts, credit cards, even our identities. For us, the result can be significant financial losses and months of disruption.

DataPatrol guard-dog online. It is always vigilant, continuously monitoring the web, social networks and public databases on your behalf - to immediately detect the theft, loss or disclosure of your vital personal and financial information.

It is the key to avoiding the disruption and financial losses which go hand in hand with online identity theft and financial fraud – to ensure we can go about our ‘lives online’ with confidence.

Are you at risk?

Every month DataPatrol monitors millions of unsecure web pages containing personal information that has been accidentally disclosed, and which puts hundreds of thousands of people at risk of identity fraud:

• WE KNOW that there are more than two million stolen pieces of personal information currently being traded online.
• BUT, in the majority of cases, the individual at risk has no idea that their information has been stolen - until they become a victim of fraud.

The question is: How do you know if your information is safe online?

The answer is DataPatrol. Acting as your personal guard-dog online, it provides an early warning service - instantly alerting you if your information is exposed online or in the public domain.

DataPatrol gives you the power to protect yourself from the risk of online crime.
