Hey, this looks pretty interesting.  (And no I am not an affiliate of Truston!)

Tom Fragala, writing at Truston, announced that his product for identity theft:

"Info Security Products Guide has honored us with the Shaping Info Security 2008 award.

This prestigious industry award recognizes individuals from around the world that have made the most positive impact on the security market."

Tom describes his product this way"

Our solution to the identity theft problem is MyTruston?, the only fully online identity theft recovery system.

It is hosted web-based software that can help millions of people easily recover from and prevent identity fraud. It can handle any type of ID theft and fraud.

MyTruston? walks victims step-by-step through the entire process--dramatically reducing the time, financial cost, and emotional impact. Other services require you to give them sensitive personal information, which puts your identity at risk.

That information goes into someone's hands and into a database, both of which are security risks. With myTruston, all we need is your email address.

Because it is a web-based platform, it can scale to meet the needs of a huge number of consumers. It can also grow to support a virtually unlimited number of fraud types--with far less incremental cost than services which rely on telephone support.

For example, today MyTruston supports recovery from these fraud scenarios: existing credit card, new credit account, ATM/Debit card and phone/utility. Over time, we will be rolling out support for recovering from fraud related to checking accounts, mortgages, driver's licenses, passports, state and federal government benefits, military victims, loans, and more."

But not in Canada, pity.
