Introducing NordProtect: An identity theft protection service you can trust

What is NordProtect?

NordProtect is a comprehensive identity theft protection service designed to help you keep your identity safe, available to customers in the US.

It’s impossible to always be on the lookout for potential data breaches or continuously monitor your credit activity. So let NordProtect do it for you. With features like 24/7 dark web monitoring, credit activity tracking, and real-time security alerts, you can stay informed about potential threats and take action to protect yourself right away.

And in the unfortunate event of identity theft, you may apply for reimbursement of expenses and expert support in handling the process of recovering your identity. So how does NordProtect work?

What does NordProtect do?

NordProtect offers features that make it easier to keep your identity safe and take relevant action if its security is compromised. NordProtect works on several fronts:

Dark web monitoring

NordProtect continuously monitors dark web pages, forums, and marketplaces for your email address, phone number, and Social Security number (SSN). If this information is exposed, you get an instant alert prompting you to secure your accounts, for example, by changing your passwords and enabling MFA. 

Credit activity monitoring

NordProtect tracks and notifies you about suspicious credit activity. Imagine someone is trying to take out a credit card in your name. Would you rather find out about it right away or a month later, when the scammer has already racked up debt? NordProtect sends you regular updates on your VantageScore® 3.0 credit score with credit status alerts so you can act quickly if needed.

Monthly information about your credit file will provide valuable insights and help you take action to change your VantageScore® 3.0 credit score and prevent fraud. If needed, NordProtect will direct you to the TransUnion® website, where you can freeze your credit file. 

Actionable alerts and warnings

If your data is leaked and appears on the dark web, NordProtect will send you an instant alert, suggesting the best action to take to control the damage. Because even if you protect your personal data, it can still be leaked in a data breach. It’s best if you find out about it ASAP.  

Identity theft recovery

With NordProtect, you can apply for professional assistance and financial support to help you recover from identity theft. The service is provided by HSB, one of the largest cyber insurance writers in the US.

Because what if the unthinkable has happened — someone stole your identity and used it for malicious purposes? It’ll take time and financial resources to deal with the consequences of identity theft. You might even have to take time off work. With NordProtect, you can apply for reimbursement of eligible expenses up to $1M. These expenses may include credit bureau reports, replacement of documents, application fees, legal fees, lost wages, and mental health counseling. 

If your application is approved, you also get access to an identity restoration case manager who can assist you with correcting your credit score and identity records. Typically, the case manager will handle most of the groundwork, giving you the opportunity to concentrate on rebuilding your life.

Cyber extortion protection

NordProtect’s cyber extortion protection is a form of coverage that helps you manage a cyber extortion attack. It ensures you’re not dealing with cybercriminals’ threats on your own — it provides both financial support and expert advice for navigating the situation.

The cyber extortion protection offers up to $100,000 to cover eligible expenses, including professional guidance and payments made in response to the attack. Your cyber extortion cover is provided by HSB.
