Technically in place since January, the FTC's red flag rules designed to prevent identity theft become fully effective November 1. The regulations require businesses extending credit to customers to have comprehensive programs in place for verifying an applicant's identity, and for taking specific actions if a potential fraud is detected.

The FTC outlines a four-step process:

1. Identifying "red flags." This involves adopting a company-specific written policy.

2. Detecting red flags, meaning applying the new written policy.

3. Responding to red flags.

4. Updating policies.
