Official site Official change log

The security half of the FCRA as amended by FACTA: a creditor or financial institution holding covered accounts must run a written identity theft prevention programme — patterns it treats as red flags, how it detects them, and how it responds — approved by its board and reviewed as the risk changes. Proposed in July 2006 (06-6187) and reworked after the Red Flag Program Clarification Act of 2010.
