Monitoring and Proactive Protection

The service detects signs of fraud in credit, accounts, and identity. It includes continuous monitoring, automatic data broker removal, and scam protection: users can check if a message, email, or link looks suspicious before interacting. If a scam occurs, the Advanced plan reimburses up to $5,000 and Total up to $10,000. Identity theft coverage reaches up to $3 million depending on the plan.

Guaranteed Restoration

LifeLock offers a 100% restoration guarantee: if your identity is stolen, a specialist will resolve the issue or your money back. Restoration specialists are U.S.-based. The company also offers a million-dollar protection package that covers lawyers, legal fees, and other recovery costs.

Free Resources and Tools

The site provides guides on identity theft, fraud and scams, credit and finances, as well as a blog. It includes a free personal data exposure scan tool that checks if your information appears on public sites or leaked databases, without needing to create an account. It also offers a three-question quiz to recommend the most suitable plan based on your profile.
