Sontiq announced it has acquired data breach intelligence fintech Breach Clarity.

As a result of the acquisition, Sontiq's products - IdentityForce, Cyberscout, and EZShield - all built on its tech-enabled IIS Platform, will have the proprietary capability, BreachIQ. Sontiq is the first provider in the identity security marketplace to offer consumers an AI-driven and proprietary personalized risk score with actionable next steps based on their unique data breach history.

BreachIQ is powered by a patented, AI-driven algorithm developed by Breach Clarity Co-founder Jim Van Dyke, one of the country's foremost data breach experts.

Breach Clarity Co-founder Al Pascual is a recognized expert in financial crime and former head of fraud and security for Javelin Strategy & Research.

BreachIQ analyzes more than 1,300 data points to curate a breach score based on the severity and risks of a publicly reported data breach.

The acquisition of Breach Clarity marks an active first quarter for Sontiq.
