Identity Recovery

Nuts & Bolts:
Trident Insurance Services LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Argonaut Group Inc. extended its Identity Recovery Coverage–first offered to its public entity customers in April 2005–to college and university customers. For colleges and universities, the coverage protects faculty, employees and students. Identity theft is America’s fastest growing crime with half of the publicized incidents of data breach since January 2005 occurring at universities, according to the San Diego-based Identity Theft Resource Center. Trident’s coverage provides college and university customers a cost effective method of minimizing damage by combining identity theft insurance with a concierge service to assist identity theft victims in restoring their credit history and identity records. Trident’s coverage both reimburses victims for costs incurred to resolve problems resulting from identity theft and assists the claimant through the challenging and time consuming effort of recovering credit and identity.

Trident has partnered with The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company, a part of HSB Group Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of American International Group Inc. for coverage.
