AlarmWATCH ™ Inc. and Ocenture Partner to Offer New, Identity Theft Protection Service

IdentaSafe Provides Independent Alarm Dealer Network with Competitive Advantage

August 11, 2011 - Hunt Valley, MD – AlarmWATCH, Inc., a security business solutions provider and UL-Certified Central Monitoring Station, has teamed up with Ocenture, LLC, to offer a new identity theft protection service -- IdentaSafe. Ocenture is one of the fastest growing providers of identity theft solutions in the United States. AlarmWATCH is the first UL-Certified Central Monitoring Station to offer this unique and personal ‘lifestyle’ protection service to its extensive and independent security alarm dealer network.

“Stealing a person’s identity is a major concern among U.S. citizens today; possibly more important than property or tangibles,” said Guy Kline, V.P. of Sales and Marketing for AlarmWATCH, Inc. “Ocenture has an outstanding reputation for developing the best identity theft protection products in the business. Adding IdentaSafe to our extensive range of dealer programs goes well beyond safeguarding property to protecting personal data. This service provides our dealers with a comprehensive security offering in all areas.”

The new IdentaSafe security technology platform will detect, prevent and correct any threat or compromise to a person’s identity, such as hacking into a home or business computer. The service allows AlarmWATCH dealers to provide a 360-degree security solution by combining core access control and perimeter security monitoring with personal information protection. IdentaSafe thwarts unnecessary risk and/or minimizes identity fraud, saving consumers thousands of dollars and substantial time to correct or restore their identity. The program includes identity restoration services, an insurance benefit to offset direct costs of restoration, identity monitoring with comprehensive reports and a robust package of security software. AlarmWATCH dealers can tailor the service to meet any commercial or residential need while increasing recurring monthly
revenue opportunities (RMR).

According to Ocenture, cases of identity fraud increased substantially in 2009, affecting 4.8% of the U.S. population to a projected total of $54 billion in crime. Identity theft now ranks number one in the consumer complaint category according to the Federal Trade Commission. In 2011, more than 250 U.S. corporations experienced some type of hacking or data breach of their computer networks.

Mark Fell, Director of Sales, for Ocenture, LLC, the provider of IdentaSafe, said, “Extending security monitoring to a person’s identity is a must-have service for any company or person in today’s networked world. Together, with the AlarmWATCH dealer network, we can protect thousands of consumers’ most valued possession – their identity – to ensure greater peace of mind with a complete and affordable ‘lifestyle’ security benefit.”

Over a thousand U.S. dealers rely on AlarmWATCH for its state-of-the art monitoring facility, responsive customer care approach and highly trained professionals who protect clients from emergent threats around the clock. Security dealers, manufacturers and distributors can also participate in a variety of free educational training courses offered at the AlarmWATCH University Center. AlarmWATCH offers the most comprehensive array of business and marketing services available to increase success for independent alarm companies. Dealers and customers also attend fun networking events and competitions designed to spar new business growth, including the annual Baltimore Ravens Protect-a-Thon challenge.
