"Our elegant and comprehensive suite of new privacy and identity protection solutions is proactive, instead of reactive. This unique differentiator helps our clients safeguard private information before it escapes, instead of chasing it afterwards. Our strategic partnership will allow us to offer the best pricing, products and support in the industry," said Dale Penn, Founder and CEO, Penn and Associates Inc.
Aon Benfield is delighted at what the partnership will bring. "We are pleased to partner with Penn and Associates and Independent Capital Management to deliver industry-leading identity management solutions to their clients," said Kate Kortsch, Global Practice Leader, Privacy Management Solutions at Aon Benfield.
For 12 years running, data breach, fraud, privacy and identity theft issues have been the leading complaints received by the Federal Trade Commission. Financial services clients are well aware of these dangers and have come to expect full-featured solutions on the part of their service providers. Mark Bulluck, MBA, a financial advisor at Independent Capital Management, spoke to this issue: "A good financial plan not only grows a client's assets, it also seeks to protect them. Identity Theft protection is another tool that helps me do my job."
William Farraj, Chief Marketing Officer and Senior Managing Partner, Independent Capital Management Inc., continues, "ID Theft is a problem for many Americans. The partnership between Penn and Associates, Aon, and Independent Capital Management is a solution to that problem."
