Hyatt Legal Plans is excited to announce a new partnership with CyberScout^®, a provider of identity and data risk management service. This new partnership will allow Hyatt to offer CyberScout LifeStages^® Identity Management Services,, providing a full range of identity management services to legal plan members.    

With this new partnership, Hyatt Legal Plan members will have access to fraud specialists at CyberScout that can assist with a wide range of identity theft issues. The new identity theft services will include document replacement services, proactive identity management if someone thinks they are at risk for identity theft, resolution services if someone becomes a victim of identity theft, as well as assistance for a number of growing identity theft scams such as tax fraud, estate identity theft, military identity theft an break-in recovery. Fraud specialists will be available 24 hours a day and will stay on the member’s case until the issue is resolved.    

According to a report released last year by Javelin Research, an identity is stolen every two seconds.[1]  Identity theft affects people at all stages of life – from childhood to college through getting married, buying a home and retiring.  Thieves only need a name, birth date and social security number to steal an identity and their methods to get this information can range from stealing a wallet or mail to hacking into computers or your phone. Last year, fraudsters stole $16 billion from 12.7 million U.S. consumers.[2]    

“We are very excited about this partnership with CyberScout, one of the best identity management providers in the nation,” says Ingrid Tolentino, CEO of Hyatt Legal Plans. “This new partnership will allow us to help members address the very real current and emerging identity theft concerns out there. Paired with our attorney services, our identity theft resolution services offer our members a more comprehensive way to protect themselves and their families.”    

All new plans effective January 1, 2016 will have access to CyberScout LifeStages^® Identity Management Services,as part of the legal plan. For more information on Hyatt Legal Plans identity theft benefits, visit www.legalplans-idtheft.com.
