IdentityIQ review

IdentityIQ splits its service into four Secure plans that differ mainly in credit coverage. Secure Basic offers daily 1-bureau credit monitoring, dark web and internet monitoring, SSN alerts, synthetic ID theft protection, change of address monitoring and $1 million in stolen funds reimbursement. Secure Plus adds annual 3-bureau reports and application monitoring, which IdentityIQ says scans more than 250,000 databases. Secure Pro moves to 3-bureau monitoring with bi-annual reports, and Secure Max adds monthly 3-bureau reports and scores, a score simulator and family protection with dark web and SSN monitoring for up to 10 dependents and $25,000 identity theft insurance per family member. Restoration is U.S.-based and can work with a limited power of attorney. VPN and antivirus are paid add-ons. We could not confirm a clear USD price from our location, so the price is marked pending; check the plans page before you buy.
