The 3 Most Frequently Asked Questions About LifeLock
Have you heard the LifeLock commercials on the radio? Maybe on Paul Harvey’s or Rush Limbaugh’s show. They’re the identity theft protection company with the CEO who publishes his social security number. Quick commercials don’t always answer all the questions we have about products. So here are the most common questions.
LifeLock has gone the extra mile to ensure their data is protected by gettng ISO 27001 certified for data and operational security. That certification is the highest you can get and follows industry best practices. No computers or laptops leave their secure site. That means no lost hard drives full of info.
The short answer to that is ‘yes’. They have over 1,000,000 members and of those, only 105 have had to use LifeLock’s services to fix a problem. That’s 1 in 10,000 – way lower than non-LifeLock members. The best part of this scenario is that Life Lock did the work to restore the identities of the affected members.
How Much Does LifeLock Cost?
If you go directly to LifeLock.com, it will cost $10 a month or $110 a year. But they want you to get the best deal around and so if you use a LifeLock promo code, your membership is only $9 a month. Plus you get your first 30 days totally free to try it out. If you prefer, you can save even more by taking an annual membership for only $99. That works out to $8.25 a month. Children up to age 16 can also be covered for only $22.50 a year or $2.25 a month.
Not having identity theft protection isn’t an option for me. I’ll happily give up a couple of Starbucks a month to cover my costs. Worrying about becoming the next victim is now the last thing on my mind.
