Identity theft is one the fastest growing crimes in the U.S., with over seven million identity theft victims each year.

Employers who routinely collect basic identifying information for each employee house a potential treasure trove for identity thieves. And thieves know that—about 90% of business record thefts involve payroll or employment records.

As reports of high-profile security breaches across the country continue to escalate, many experts think that US courts are poised to find employers liable for the consequences of their failures to keep personal data private.

With new legislation being introduced and laws passed to protect the employees from identity theft in the workplace, employers are more responsible then ever for safeguarding sensitive information.
