Identity Theft Risk Assessment
The Identity Theft Risk Assessment was developed by BasePoint's fraud experts and scientists based on collecting and analyzing risk factors that preceded consumers' victimization by identity theft. These risk factors included where the consumers lived, how they managed their data, and who they knew. The Identity Theft Risk Score provides an estimate of consumers' risk based on how closely they match the pattern of risk seen historically.
