Identity Hawk Review
IdentityHawk offers tools and monitoring services to strengthen member’s reputation, security and prevention methods for avoiding identity theft. The company partners with certain banks, so you may be asked to sign up with them in order to get information necessary to complete a loan process. However, they are not accepting members currently through their website. By providing customers with online safety resources and all-around protection, their promise is to look at all parts of your identity as opposed to just your credit risk or social security number.
What We Like 
Their system works to try to spread their resources out across every part of your life, which is certainly a formidable task. Their communication is succinct, and well organized, and they seem to know their statistics about identity theft. Numbers in a corner helps companies determine where their money and technology are best employed, which means a safer system for you.
They have a detailed FAQ section which actually addresses many of the common misconceptions you may have. We also like their emphasis on education and encryption. Educating yourself means you’ll be more confident about what you do and why, while their Norton secured website works to encrypt your information. Encryption is not an easy task, but it’s necessary to provide an extra layer of security to people’s transaction history.
What We Don’t Like 
The company simply doesn’t have the reputation behind it to give credence to their claims. Customers have complained the service provided by the company isn’t consistent and can be frustrating. There’s also nothing particularly unique about this plan, nor is there much information about the people who started it. Customers have reported that it’s difficult to get ahold of the team, which is simply not a luxury that those who experience breaches can afford.
Customers will not receive proactive restoration from their team, but rather guidance and a toolkit for additional help. Other companies offer assistance where a case specialist will actually make the calls and actions necessary to restore your identity.
The Bottom Line
While IdentityHawk may have started with good intentions, we cannot recommend this product for consumers. The company makes too many general statements, without having any type of real stats to back it up. While we appreciate their forward-thinking approach to technology and arming customers with tools to make themselves safer, there are too many other companies out there who have made the commitment to their customers to do more.
