U.S. News’ online guide features in-depth information on choosing an identity theft protection service and covers a range of topics including price and privacy protection policies. Of the leading identity theft companies analyzed, IDShield earned high ratings and accolades for its dark web, credit, social security, and social media monitoring, access to private investigators to help restore members’ identity, and family plans that allow for up to 10 dependents.

“We’re really proud of the advancements we’ve made over the past year, growing and developing our brand in the cybersecurity and protection space,” said Jeff Bell, CEO of IDShield. “The recognition by U.S. News and World Report is a badge of honor and a testament to the hard work and focus of our teams. We have big strategic initiatives planned this year that will excite and benefit our members and customers.”

2021 was a transformative year for IDShield, and its parent company PPLSI. The company invested in technology and talent to bring the latest advancements to members and customers.

Investing in technology and innovation:

  • IDShield continues to bring the latest security features to its more than a million members. In October 2021, in partnership with Trend Micro, IDShield launched the most advanced security protection plan on the market. The new features use cloud-based AI technology to ensure maximum security for all devices to protect against ransomware, viruses, dangerous websites, identity theft and more.
  • To expand its social media, privacy and online reputation management capabilities, IDShield acquired yourself.online, an industry-leading technology company headquartered in Austin. Yourself.online’s AI technology scans social media platforms and helps people automatically find and delete old social media posts, photos and videos that can damage their online reputation and provides recommendations to improve profiles and online perceptions.

Investing in top talent:

  • PPLSI has experienced over 50 percent growth in the last three years. To continue building products and services needed to support the digital age, the company expanded its leadership in 2021 to include hires with deep specialties and experiences in software, data and product engineering, data security and operations, product development and IT infrastructures.
