Lifelock Compared To Loudsiren
Comparing LifeLock to LoudSiren that is the question.
Comparing things is inevitable even when such a thing is LifeLock vs LoudSiren. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, comparing one thing against the other is always happening. There are times that because of this comparison, disagreements and even heated arguments arise. This happened recently when two acquaintances argued who was best Lifelock or Loud Siren. Normally I would just separate myself from such an argument but in this case I started the “debate”. I didn’t intend to I merely asked for an opinion while having lunch because I didn’t know much about either company. I just wanted to protect my credit and good name and I didn’t even know that one of them used an identity protection company. A simple question to one person set off quite the argument. At least these two were comparing things on the same level this time, you know apples to apples, because I have to admit I have seen them argue before about things that do not have the same qualities.
Anyways this is what I learnt. Lifelock is just like many other identity protection companies. It is the type of company that really does all the work for their clients even though some things could be done yourself such as ordering your credit report. Lifelocks marketing ploy is to show off their CEO’s social security number to show how confident they are about protecting ones identity. This is indeed how I first became aware of this company. LifeLock is also able to generate positive public relations for itself because they have earned many recognitions from prestigious companies. I am not sure what these are but some awards were definitely named.
They have an ISO 27001 certification that proves that their security at company headquarters is first rate. Their investment in security makes them able to provide real protection of the confidentialhand them. LifeLock is also perhaps the only company that can provide identity theft protection services to minors.
Loud Siren, another identity theft protection company slowly climbing the identity protection industry ladder, they are also at par with LifeLock. They can actually speed up the process of your credit requests though I don’t know how. They also put a LoudSiren Safe Number in your credit file that keeps your phone numbers private. Also, during the credit approval request process, reporting fraudulent credit requests is easy to report to law enforcers by pressing a button on your phone.
LoudSiren identity protection has a patent pending technology that is perhaps the closest thing to getting full proof financial identity protection at least when it comes to fraud alerts. LoudSiren also provides an audit trail in case there is a fraudulent activity.
Both LifeLock and Loud Siren place fraud alerts for you and get you a copy of your credit report. They also stop pre-approved credit offers and reduce your junk mail.
I am not positive about every detail as it was difficult to capture all the points made because neither person was talking to me they were just arguing with each other. I definitely have a basis for further research and I will post my results for you shortly.

On her website, check out her publicity pictures under “photo gallery” and you’ll see many with the caption: “Photographed by Judy Katz Public be a pure coincidence, but just thought that was interesting….
Always make sure your computer is safe. Keep your virus protection software up-to-date and avoid using unsecured wireless networks. Be sure that you (or your children) don’t have unsecure peer-to-peer software on your computer -leaving easy access points for hackers to bypass your security and copy what they want from your computer, including photos, email, tax returns and important documents. Criminals today make use today’s technology and we must too when trying to avoid becoming a victim.

PR is is exatly what it sounds like

like Mcdonals– u may think it's an evil corp that sells unhealthy junk food. well their PR person may advise them to start selling salads, creating more charities and give more scholoarships so ppl think that they aren't so bad, infact, [...]
Well, we can not afford to loose our main client, and the renewal of their contract is tied to ISO 27001 compliance. Moreover, a very big company just bought a part of our share and require us to comply to their own security policies. Both go in the same direction, and we have to go this way, whatever painful the process is. But we tech team still want to be happy go to work every morning. So I’m wondering if there is a less painful way to go there.

I agree with everyone.
Those companies are very deceiving.
Experian sued Lifelock because of this deception in giving you a false sense of security.

Being on top of your credit is a good thing sir … however people who are trusted with your information (legitimately) can mishandle it and that’s how identity theft can happen to even the most careful consumers. I’m sure you’ve seen the stories on the news where some doctors office or business throws personal information into the good ole dumpster. THAT is how my ID was stolen
