Despite these endorsements, ITAC Sentinel is NOT a recommended company, and customers are strongly encouraged to investigate our top identity theft protection companies before making a decision.

The Bad

Limited Recovery Services
$250 Deductible
No Free Trial Offered

Limited Recovery Services

ITAC Sentinel does not offer full-service lost wallet protection, but it does offer card theft protection. However, this protection only offers a portion of the features provided by a lost wallet service. For example, card theft protection will not restore driver's licenses, social security cards, insurance cards, or checkbooks.

$250 Deductible

Each ITAC Sentinel identity theft insurance policy has a $250 deductible. This is uncommon, as most identity protection companies offer policies with no deductible.

No Free Trial Offered

ITAC Sentinel does not offer a free trial period for its identity theft services.

The Bottom Line

ITAC Sentinel offers multiple affordable packages that include credit monitoring and internet surveillance. However, the company provides limited recovery services and and its policies have $250 deductibles.

Dale Siler Dayton, OH

I had a Chase Idenity Protection Program with My bp Visa for 7 yrs. Their program was satisfactory until Chase sold or Eliminated that business & recommended ITAC in May of 2012??, I believe. It was a Great Move taking Chases advice as ITAC does a Fantastic Job!! They have a 'Total Package Deal', if You will. Most Companies these days seem to hire Employees overseas. You might get Phil from the Phillipines, Tammy from Tiawan, Newt from New Dehili, Vicky from Vietnam etc etc. with ITAC You get an All American staff out of New Mexico, ALL speak English!! They r Efficent, Knowledgeable, Explain Anything & Everything in Layman's terms, Friendliest Customer Service organization I Hv EVER dealt with & Most Importanty,They CARE!! I also have LifeLock which costs more, not nearly as Friendly, Efficeceny is Satisfactory at Best & after reading the reviews I reccomend ITAC Sentinel to ANYONE!! I have the Plus+ package but My Son has the basic & there is Very little difference. I give them a 10!! Dale Siler Raleigh NC:
