Problems

The digital collection and storage of data is becoming easier and easier in 21st century. Digital sharing and data storage provides the advantages of easy and quick access to your information whenever it is required.

However, with convenience and low costs comes the concerns of security breaches, hacks and leakage of vital information that is not intended to be used by other parties than the ones you would like to have access to it. The world has seen countless breaches that have led to leakage of sensitive information.

The most recent one has been the drama with how Facebook handles our personal data and who has access to it and how it can be used. A while back there was the major breach in Sony Pictures of 2014 when a substantial amount of employee data was obtained by a third party.

Just a year after that the United States Office of Personnel Management had a system breach which lead to countless personal addresses, birth dates, social security numbers being stolen. This is a major problem that needs a solution. Security of data has always been an issue and now we have a promising company that might just have the right solution.

Civic- the Solution

Civic has managed to construct an ecosystem that will give a safe and low-cost access to IDV (Identity Verification Services) and that has been achieved by using the latest blockchain technologies and KYC (know your client contracts). Background checks and verification of personal information will no longer have to be started from the beginning with each company.

What Civic is hoping to achieve is to bring the cost of IDV services down as much as possible and in general to improve the security of your data and remove any methods and/or technologies that no longer do the job.

Decentralization of information is one of the most efficient ways to ensure the security of any data. That is why Civic can promise enhanced protection of your information and can provide you with complete control over it. On top of all that Civic not only protects your personal data but also makes the processes of obtaining IDV services that more simple and that is how it helps with bringing down the cost for them as well.

Secure Sign-On by Password-less Login and Sign-up

Digitalization of data gives you convenience but almost always leaves you open to security breaches which can lead to countless problems, one of which is identity theft. Civic gives you a piece of mind by allowing an easy sign up and even easier access to your account, that is if you are who you say you are. You can access the Civic Secure Identity Platform by using the Civic Secure Identity App.

As I mentioned earlier, you will have to set up an account and from that point the app will safely store your data using encryption and biometric locks like fingerprints for example. When the data is under your control that makes it more secure against hackers and other unfriendly parties that might want to obtain your data. This is one of the ways that Civic uses to both give you easy access and to give hackers a hard time and ultimately stopping them when they are trying to obtain access.

Civic Also Helps You in Case of a Breach

You have already been breached and you don’t know what to do? Don’t worry, you will be provided the needed support because Civic helps you when an incident occurs.

Of course the company does everything in their power to keep any leakages from happening. Civic provides Identity Theft Monitoring which gives you credit monitoring alerts that are made possible by their mutual work with TransUnion. If a preliminary check is conducted and looks a bit suspicious you will know about it immediately. You will receive a notification when the system detects that your identity is being used.

In case that you find out that you are already a victim of identity theft, Civic aims to help you recover from that with as little impact on your life as possible.
