BEAVERTON, Ore., Oct. 22 --
ID Experts(R), the leader in data breach prevention and remediation, has announced a Breach Respond™ offering tailored to meet the needs of Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) Member Companies, whose physicians recently had sensitive personal information exposed by a BCBS Association data breach incident.
The Breach Respond services are specifically designed to support BCBS Member Companies in notifying their medical providers, providing them with information to protect themselves and identity theft recovery services, if they become victimized. State and federal laws, including the recently enacted federal HITECH Act, require notification of individuals affected by data breach incidents.

"Our staff of professionals, based entirely in the U.S., has experience dealing with situations where a breach exposes both Social Security and tax ID numbers, as was the case with the BCBSA breach."
ID Experts has comprehensive programs in place to address the extensive data breach notification process. Programs include the development and mailing of notification letters that comply with state and federal regulations, providing information to affected individuals by telephone professionals and via customized websites, facilitating enrollment in credit monitoring services and providing fully-managed identity theft restoration services, provided by highly experienced ICFE-certified professionals, to those who are victimized.
