Overview
The business-to-business (B2B), or affiliate, market for identity protection services (IDPS) consists of all IDPS subscriptions offered to consumers through intermediaries rather than sold directly from the company offering the service. Most prominently, this includes event-based subscriptions, such as when consumers are offered a free or subsidized subscription following identity fraud or a data breach. However, it also encompasses a wide array of secondary sellers such as financial institutions (FIs), card issuers, employers, insurance companies, and even telecoms. These businesses may offer the services as a standalone product or bundle it with the services they already offer.
This partnership offers a powerful mechanism for both the originator of the service and the institution reselling it to extend their reach. The reseller is able to offer a service outside its normal scope as an added value for its clients. Typically, the IDPS service is rebranded from the originator to the reseller. In return, the originator is immediately granted access to up to tens of millions of potential customers, with little marketing effort on its part. The originator can gain revenue from not only fees paid by the reseller, but from the end customers who extend their subscriptions into a full-service direct-to-consumer subscription.
