Our Solution: Orggit

To securely store your personal information we recommend getting an account with a website called Orggit. This site is a digital vault where you can store and access all your essential documents and information. You can scan and upload them, or input your important information. Orggit provides information insurance by making all your information organized, accessible, and secure.

Secure, Organized, and Accessible Storage: These are Orggit’s main characteristics—let me explain how each is necessary to avoid identity theft, and how Orggit fulfills each of them.
Organized: If all your personal identifying documents are stored in one place you are likely to misplace them, reducing the risk of an identity thief coming across any sensitive information. Orggit is a collective database for all your documents—no more filing cabinets, piles, or separate websites.

Accessible: This collection of documents needs to be accessible from anywhere. This insures that even if you don’t have the physical copies with you all the time, you will still have access to them. With Orggit you can access your information anywhere, anytime, as long as you have an internet connection. iPhone users can even access Orggit from their phones.
Secure: Obviously, security is a key in identity theft prevention. Your information must be away from prying eyes and protected from any unnecessary risks. Orggit considers security a priority, and your information on the site will be encrypted and password protected. Also, simply the fact that you will not carry around your physical cards and documents makes your information much more secure.

The Result: By storing your important information in such a careful and safe way, you protect yourself from having your identity stolen by a thief accessing physical documents.

With Orggit, if your wallet is lost or stolen, you can print out a “Wallet Report” which reports all the contents of your wallet and their information. This makes it easy to quickly cancel any credit cards and save your identity. Overall, Orggit is not only a great solution to any organizational problem, but it is also a great way to insure against identity theft.
