Henry’s one of the most risk conscious and creative people you will ever meet and his primary passion and hobby is to help individuals and companies manage risks in every aspect of life whether at work, at home, or on the road. Henry takes great pleasure at sharing his passion with others, especially his family. He constantly warns his clients, friends, colleagues and even himself of all kinds of possible dangers ahead and how to control them. Henry established www.identity-theft-awareness.com in 2006 to share useful information about identity protection, identity theft and fraud prevention as well as victim solutions. His goal is to educate as many people as possible and raise awareness about the risks of identity theft, and how to preserve privacy and prevent or solve identity fraud.

Henry Bagdasarian believes that companies and government agencies, which sell or handle personal information services and products such as credit cards, mortgages, and passports, have a moral duty, and in most cases a legal responsibility, to educate their consumers and employees about the risks of identity theft. Although, some companies are now legally forced to follow certain information security guidelines and share their privacy policies with consumers as a way to inform them how they plan to use consumers' personal information, awareness is not built into their overall program to emphasize what actions on the part of consumers may increase or decrease the risks of identity theft when using their services or products. As such, Henry hopes to bridge the gap between companies and their consumers to collectively and effectively protect personal information.

As part of his desire to help others and stimulate his own brain at the same time, Henry Bagdasarian continues to invent and implement many new concepts and ideas, some of which are listed below:

Identity KAOS - Guiding principles for identity protection.
Information KAGE - Used for developing information security strategies.
DIP Breach Notification - A process for dealing with breach incidents.
IdentityMate - Identity protection advisory services.
Be Identity Safe - A central hub for providing identity protection guidance.
Identity Management Institute - Corporate hub for providing identity management and protection training and certifications.
Identity Protection Institute - Consumer hub for identity protection training and certifications.
Identity Diet - A customized and risk based identity protection plan to address identity obesity and identity theft risks.

To conclude, companies and individuals must be educated and consider the risks of identity theft and fraud resulting from their actions or inactions when dealing with any personal information. Individuals can take the test below and discover their identity theft risk level.
